RAVENA-COEYMANS-SELKIRK — The RCS wrestling team celebrated its graduating seniors last week on Senior Night.
Five Indians will conclude their high school careers in June.
Each was given a posterboard with their name, the school colors of gold and green, and photos of their matches and accomplishments over the season as a keepsake.
The five senior athletes were honored on Senior Night and joined by their families as the team and community bid them a hearty farewell.
This year’s graduating wrestlers are J.T. Lyle, who competed in the 189-pound weight class; Franky Broadhurst, in the 126-pound division; Jaymie Carkner, in the 285-pound weight class; Antonio Piscitelli, in the 160-pound category; and Jorge Betancourt in the 215-pound weight class.
The day also had a special appearance by wrestler Alivia Ortiz, who performed the national anthem. Ortiz recently competed in the first-ever girls’ state wrestling competition and placed third in the state.
Huge shoutout to Gina Pelletier for providing the photos:
Easter Egg Hunt is on this weekend
RAVENA — One of Ravena’s most fun-filled events is here — the annual Easter Egg Hunt.
The event is hosted each year by VFW Auxiliary 9594 and the Unitas Memorial Veterans Association and has become one of the community’s most anticipated holiday events.
This year’s Easter Egg Hunt will take place on Saturday, April 8, beginning at 11 a.m. sharp. The hunt is designed for kids up to age 12, with egg hunters divided by age group so all will have a chance to collect their eggs.
The hunt is traditionally held in Mosher Park, adjacent to the VFW Hall at 13 Whitbeck St. in the village. Cloth baskets will be provided to all egg hunters.
Last year’s egg hunt was moved indoors into the RCS High School gym due to inclement weather, but Mosher Park is the usual place-to-be for the hundreds of children who turn out for the event.
There are also raffles for prizes and gift baskets donated by local businesses.
Admission to the Easter Egg Hunt is free to all.
