Lady Dragons Still In Conference One
Friday, 05 October 2012 00:00
Last year the Girls’ Varsity Soccer Team at Division Avenue High School captured the Conference One Championship and was voted the best regular season team in Nassau County by the Nassau County Coaches Association. With many key players lost to graduation, it was unsure where the Lady Dragons would be placed for the current season. However after assessing the returning talent it was decided the Blue Dragons could compete and hold their own in the top ability group in the county.
Leading the way for Division is a very talented group of seniors. Starting in goal for Division is senior Gina Fader. Fader holds the record for most shutouts in a season.
Playing in the defense in front of Gina are Alexa Schneider, Alyssa Fiore, and Taylor LeBright. All three girls are all stars from last season. Schneider was also named conference player of the year in 2011 as well as All New York State First Team. Playing in the midfield for the Dragons are Felicia Comuniello and Joanne Orellana, while Julia Kardonsky powers the Blue Dragon offense.

What motivates a collector to dedicate a portion of his or her life to searching for the most rare and beautiful forms of a certain item? Is it their love of stamps from all over the world or is it their desire to find the most complex and unique model of a car? From jewelry and dolls to sports memorabilia and computers, a collector’s interests can range from the most bizarre items to the most common. Michael Katz, longtime collector of vintage radios from the 1920s to ’50s, said that the two kinds of things collectors go for are “stuff that’s really unusual and really decorative or the rare and expensive sets.”
