2014: The Year In Review
Medina capped off the B North Division football season by notching a third straight victory over rival Albion in a free scoring 46-30 contest to retain the Doc’s Rock Trophy and clinch a berth in the Section VI Class B playoffs for the second year in a row.
Quarterback Jason Hellwig threw three touchdown passes connecting with Brett Pecoraro, Ty Hrovat and Brandon Schoolcraft, to lead the Medina attack. Hellwig, Pecoraro and Devin Joy also each rushed for a touchdown.
The Mustangs dropped a 42-6 decision to B North champion Bennett in the quarterfinal round of the sectionals.
Hellwig and Pecoraro both received honorable mention on the All-Western New York football squad.
Also in the fall, the Medina/Lyndonville boys soccer team captured the Niagara-Orleans League championship in the third year of the merged program.
Late season wins over Akron (3-0) and Roy-Hart (4-0) put a lock on the title as the Mustangs won a tight four-way battle for the crown with a 9-2-1 record.
The Medina tennis team captured a third straight N-O championship by posting a perfect 12-0 record.
The Mustang netters were led by first team N-O All-League honorees Ben Howell and Kristian Snyder; second team selections Brian Bogan, Nate Pace and Tristan Sanders and honorable mention pick Carson Zygoda.
The spring season also saw the shared services agreement between the Medina and Lyndonville school districts extended to include merged boys and girls track teams.
