Throughout April, Syracuse.com has been recognizing exceptional athletes by naming All-CNY Teams. Onondaga has three students on All-CNY Teams: Sam Geis- volleyball, Dylan Price- wrestling and Zach Delaney- hockey. Below are their responses to Syracuse.com. Volleyball: Name: Samantha Geis School: Onondaga Class: Senior Position: Setter Season statistics: Assists: 512; aces: 60; digs: 80; kills: 16 What’s next: Cornell University Best moment of the season: Winning a five-set match against Tully on our Senior Night. Who (or what) inspires you? My coach inspires me because she pushes everyone to be the best player they can be while also creating a true family-like bond within the team. In one sentence, say why you love your sport: In volleyball, the excitement that you feel as a team, after a big kill, a save, or a game-winning point, makes me love my sport. Wrestling: Name: Dylan Price School: Onondaga (wrestles for Marcellus) Class: Junior Weight Class: 138 lbs Season statistics: Season record: 38-9; career record: 164-40; earned my 150th win; placed fourth in States; won Sectionals for the second year in a row What’s next: Next year I want to earn my 200th career win, repeat winning sectionals and place higher in states than this year. Best moment of the season: The best moment of the season was placing fourth at states, beating my seed and achieving my goal for the season. Who (or what) inspires you? My family inspires me. They always have my back by coming to every wrestling tournament, even though it lasts the entire day, and altering their diet to avoid eating around me while I’m cutting weight. In one sentence, say why you love your sport: It is only you on the mat, no one to blame or fall back on. It’s up to you. Hockey: Name: Zachary Delaney School: Onondaga - member of the Syracuse Cougars Class: Senior Position: Defense What’s next: Next year I will be attending Hobart and William Smith Colleges, where I plan on studying economics and will be continuing my lacrosse career. Best moment of the season: The best moment of the season for me was defeating West Genesee for the sectional championship in the War Memorial. Who (or what) inspires you? I have been inspired by Latavius Murray, seeing as he came out of the same small school that I will be graduating from this year and his success afterwards. It has driven me to push myself to be the absolute best individual as I can, whether that’s in the classroom or playing sports. In one sentence, say why you love your sport: I love hockey because it is a fast-paced and physical game where I have also built lots of friendships with my teammates over the years. *For the All-CNY team members or to find All-CNY teams for other sports visit Syracuse.com
