Tech Closes Season with Victory

The Bottle and Can drive wasn't ITC's only Victory Saturday January 30, as Jahcin Ingram (#11) was busy slamming home the first dunk in ITC history. The Boy’s Junior Varsity, Boy’s Varsity and Girl’s Varsity successfully won their last games for a great wrap up to end the season. Hector Cruz and Joe Boatwright lead the boy's JV team to an exciting victory, the team won a nail biter on some clutch free throws with the final score being 66-59.


Next was the Varsity game in which Jahcin Ingram led the varsity Eagles with a career high 31 points and was able to lift the team to a 63-54 victory over Cato-Meridian.
The main event however was a real treat. For those who stuck around got to watch the Varsity girls dismantle Tyburn Academy. The final score was 44 - 13. "January 30, 2010 will go down in history at ITC because we proved to ourselves and the community that we can help those not fortunate enough to be able to slam a ball through a hoop."

Eagles Soar High with another victory--61-6

Last Saturday at Corcoran Stadium the ITC Eagles won again and made one step closer to the ultimate goal, a perfect season. The game went as smooth and easy as the last, and had the same result. A blowout victory of a previously unbeaten Phoenix team. And it was done in the way you have come to expect of The Eagles, the downhill running game of Kasheim "Buck" Jones, Delquan Ross, Shakier Denim and Chris Williams and a defense that has held teams to an average of 8 points a game compared to the 36.5 points we average on offense.

The most memorable moment of the game however came at a moment were we all realized that life isn't just all about football. It was late in the third quarter and Chris Williams had just crossed the goal line for one of his two touch downs of the day when coach Reese yelled to him "Go give it to her" and took a time out. Then Williams trotted to the stands and handed his touchdown ball to his mother who has been in the hospital, in a moment that will be remembered with all the great ones this season.

However now this Saturday has faded from the minds of the Tech football players for now because the time to remember a great season is when there is nothing left to leave on the field and the season is over.

For now our minds are set on redemption, for next Saturday we face a team that embarrassed us last season . Those of us who remember want nothing more than to return the favor and its sure to make a great game. So join us next Saturday as the ITC Eagles face off against their toughest opponents yet, the Cazenovia Lakers at Cazenovia.

ITC improves to 4-0 with huge victory over Cato

SYRACUSE, NY – Cato-Meridian's offense stalled today when they ran into the "Big Blue Wall" that was the IT Central Eagles' defensive line. The Blue Devils' were held at zero on the board that also came with various sacks by Jamci Vale, an interception by Emanuel Flowers, and even a blocked punt by Josh Gleba.

While Cato's offense stalled and couldn't really get going, ITC's offense soared up and down the field like the eagles they are--With 42 first half points and a 56-0 victory. All together the "Tech Stars" Saquan Doizer, Kashiem Jones, Delquan Ross and Jahcin Ingram only scored 14 points of the 56 points. It was a lot of the running of Chris Williams (3 touchdowns), Shakier Denim (2 touchdowns) and Freddy Dodd(1 touchdown) that did it for the eagles today behind a good showing from the offensive line.

In the end it was a good day for the eagles. We improved our record to 4-0, and we are on a mission to finish undefeated.

The next stop for the recently dubbed "Big Blue Wrecking Crew," is Saturday October 3. Join us as ITC gets tested by the Phoenix Firebirds at Corcoran HS @1pm.

Stepping up to the game

SYRACUSE, NY – Game fuels were pumped today for both the Volleyball and Football teams as we held the very first ITC pep rally. Regardless of not having a football arena or a gymnasium, the pep was still brought out from the crowd. Students of IT Central were dismissed early from their fifth block classes and sent to the middle basketball court. As the crowd settled, Mr. Bramoff, the host, introduced our very own football team. With the help of Mr. Williams, they lead the TECH jacks as a quick warm-up.

The Volleyball team, was called out one by one, and seated on the bleachers with the crowd applauding each individual. After the volleyball team, the adviser of each class's Student Government announced the winners for that grade.


“How far can you go?” was the question for the diet-coke mentos contest. Soda bottle caps were designed by Mr. List to allow the soda to erupt higher into the air. They competed, you decided--Jeshua and Adnan were the winners of the contest.

Five people from each grade level and teachers competed in a hula-hoop contest with Alamfi Olacio outlasting the competitor with the runner up being Ms. Nelli. The football team was introduced, one by one, by Bramoff and sent to sit on the bleachers to be in the team picture with Coach Reese, Coach Scholtz, and Coach Bramoff.

With just a few minutes left until dismissal students gathered behind the football team as a large group to be in the IT Central school picture.

Students were dismissed a few minutes early at the end of the event. The enthusiasm in this event will hopefully help inspire our athletes to strive harder for victories. The next football game will be held at our home field @Corcoran at 1:00 PM on September 26, 2009. The "Big Blue Wrecking Crew" will go against Cato-Meridian. It's time to go 4-0.

ITC Eagles open up season with a 42 - 20 victory against the General Brown Lions

It was a great Saturday afternoon for football as your ITC Eagles beat the General Brown Lions by a score of 42 - 20. During the first drive of the game junior running back Saquan Doizer scampered down the side lines for an early game lead and the rest was history. The Lions could not defend the combined efforts of Dozier, Delqaun Davis and Kashiem Jones, who powered past them early and often on the way to victory. Of course I have to give props to myself and my fellow linemen as we held our own against the strong defensive front that the Lions presented.

The defense played two halves of brilliant football and only allowed one touchdown on the day. The other scores that the Lions made were off of offensive mistakes. As a Defense we forced 3 fumbles and recovered two bringing our turnover collection to three on the day. The front line of Aaron "Big Show" Loux, Jinnah Clark, Emanuel Lewis and Aaron Clark along with the talented core of line backers did an excellent job of containing the lions balanced running and of course our defensive backs contained there passing game.

This day however did not come without controversy. During the third quarter Head Coach Mr. Reese was ejected out of the game due to unsportsmanlike conduct and we as a team fell apart. We committed many mental errors which led to an abundance of penalties and four fumbles. As a team we rebounded and rammed the ball up the gut to kill time on the way to victory. Join us again as we head into another battle with Jordan Elbridge on Monday September 14 hungry for another victory.
