HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL ... SOUTHERN TIER ATHLETIC CONFERENCE FINAL ... The Yellowjackets became the first OHS squad in any sport to win back-to-back Southern Tier Athletic Conference titles Saturday, winning consecutive games at NYSEG Stadium against Horseheads and Johnson City.

Windsor turned two walks, a hit batsman, an error and a bunt into three fourth-inning runs that carried the Black Knights to a 3-0 victory over Oneonta High.

Daily Star sports section was a totally different story in the 1970s
COLUMN BY DEAN RUSSIN ... The more things change ... Well, sometimes things just change. Case in point, today's sports front. It's slightly different than what you're used to seeing on a daily basis, but it's completely different than what you used to see 40 years ago. Had there been a May 21 edition of The Daily Star in 1972, it would have been odd to say the least. That date fell on a Sunday, and The Daily Star doesn't have a Sunday edition.
