HEUVELTON -- As teams across the North Country gear up for the winter sports season, the Heuvelton Central School District will receive $12,000 to support athletic programs.

State fudning will help the district purchase a weight machine and exercise bikes, warm-up jackets and shirts for the two-time state champion Lady Bulldogs basketball team and new basketballs. In addition, funds will also be used to purchase banners and a sign commemorating the success of the Lady Bulldogs basketball team.

“Athletics are such an important part of the overall school experience for our students,” said Heuvelton Central School Athletic Director Dave Steele. “Our sports teams have a strong tradition of success and we are extremely grateful to Senator Ritchie for acknowledging the efforts of our student athletes through this funding.”

“From bringing home state titles to serving as young ambassadors for the area, student athletes are learning the value of hard work and realizing that they can accomplish more by working together,” Senator Patty Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, said in a news release annoucing the funding.
