Our Lady of Lourdes High School will be going from Section 1 to Section 9 in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association for the 2022-2023 school year, school officials announced.
“After extensive research and deliberation with stakeholders it was agreed upon that the move from Section 1 to Section 9 was in the best interest of the school’s athletics program. There are many benefits that come along with the transition from Section I to Section IX including allowing us to compete against schools of comparable size,” said Lourdes Athletic Director Bill Kyle.
Section 9 includes schools from Dutchess, Sullivan, Ulster and Orange counties, including John S. Burke High School. Section 1 features schools from Dutchess, Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties, including Albertus Magnus High School and The Ursuline School.
The move will cut travel time for Lourdes athletes and coaches. For the current school year, Beacon left Section 1 for Section 9, leaving Lourdes with no Section 1 opponents with similar enrollments in Dutchess County.
“The move to Section 9 will require less travel time for our student-athletes which will allow for their focus to be on both athletics and rigorous academics without experiencing added pressure in managing their time,” said Lourdes Principal, Meghan Vilardo.

CYO New York announced all indoor activity has been suspended until the end of the year and hopes to have a start date of January 15 for a season start date for indoor CYO activities.
“As the Delta variant has set us back to start this year, recently there have been positive signs trending in our favor,” said Seth Peloso, director of CYO New York in a letter to volunteers and participants on cyony.org. “Some may view this update as a setback, but know that the volunteer CYO parish coordinators/athletic directors have informed us of their current state of preparation for this season.
“For the majority, they will need this time to prepare their volunteers, open or extend their registrations and organize their teams. For those programs that are ahead of the curve, we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.”
Peloso added that updates will be provided around the first of each date and the start date may change.
“Though a January start date has been earmarked, if the conditions present a path forward to allow indoor activity in December and in consultation with the education office, we will communicate that in advance,” he said. “And of course, as we have learned throughout this pandemic, should things regress we will need to adjust accordingly.”

LeMahieu being placed on the injured list in the final days of the regular season.

LeMahieu was placed on the 10-day injured list and can return for the American League Championship Series if the Yankees advance to that round. Voit is done for the season.
The Yankees closed the season with six infielders, including Tyler Wade and Velazquez. Wade is used as a defensive replacement on the infield, pinch runner and also is the team’s fourth outfielder with Giancarlo Stanton being used as the designated hitter. Velazquez adds speed and defense to the roster.
Velazquez finished the regular season with a .224 batting average, one home run, six RBI, 11 runs scored and four stolen bases. The 27 year old had two hits in his final 14 plate appearances with the Yankees this season.
