Future Lady Yellow Jacket Emily Zeh, 5, has been keeping her granddad, Coach Bob Zeh, company on the girls’ bench this season.  At left, Kasondra Hughes flashes a smile at the homey scene.

Junior guard Sienna Wisse fires a pass across court during the Oneonta Lady Yellow Jackets’  Section 4, Class B 53-29 quarter-final victory over Windsor in Drago Gym Saturday, Feb. 27.  Extending their record to 16-3, the Yellow Jackets dominated, quickly chalking up a commanding lead and building it through the game.  In addition to Sienna’s 14 points, center  Val Ridgway and guard Erin Wolstenholme each scored 12.  The girls beat Watkins Glen at home Tuesday, March 2, and will play against a to-be-named opponent Friday evening at The Arena in Binghamton.

Kaleb Valk and Dave Bishop keep score.

Coach Zeh is buried under a sea of hands as the girls cheer at the start of third quarter.  Clockwise from Leslie Harlem, standing at back, are Erin Wolstenholme, Dani Nicosia, Sienna Wisse, Jenn Dilello, Val Ridgway, Kasondra Hughes and Katie Bredin.

Dani Nicosia speeds the ball down the court during the first half.  She scored two points, but was a playmaker throughout.  In the background is Sienna Wisse, the other guard.

Val Ridgway waits for rebound; Leslie Harlem watches from the line.

Former mayor John S. Nader and daughter Sarah discuss a play.  Also in the stands were Mayor Dick Miller and his wife, Andi.

Fans Ben, Diana and Russell Friedell cheer for their Yellow Jackets.  Russ, Class of 2002, played varsity basketball at OHS.
