SUNY Cortland freshman tailback Matt Deiana of Somers was honored by the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) and the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) for his efforts in a 72-14 home victory versus Western Connecticut State.

Deiana was chosen as the NJAC and the ECAC Div. III Southeast Special Teams Player of the Week. He averaged 44.5 yards on two kickoff returns—a 47-yarder and a 42-yarder. Deiana also scored his first collegiate touchdown on a 7-yard rush in the fourth quarter. Cortland (1-1 overall, 1-0 NJAC) travels to Morrisville State on Saturday at 7 p.m. for a league contest.

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
