UTICA, N.Y. — With all that the BK Selects boys have accomplished in just a few seasons of existence, it’s difficult to believe they’re still achieving some notable firsts.

 

But that’s exactly what the 18U and 14U teams pulled off Feb. 9 in the Mohawk Valley, as they each won the first NE Pack league championships in those age groups for the BK Selects program.

 

Over the span of four hours at the Utica University Nexus Center, the BK Selects 14Us defeated Mount St. Charles, 6-4, in their league final and the 18Us took down Pittsburgh Penguins Elite, 4-1, in their title game. 

 

Super Sunday, indeed.

Baltimore, MD – The stage was set, the competition was fierce, and the stakes were high at the New York City Dance Alliance (NYCDA) Baltimore Regionals. Among the many talented dancers vying for top honors, one name stood out: Nick Guarino, whose passion and dedication to his craft propelled him to a remarkable victory.

Nick attended convention dance classes and participated in the highly competitive Outstanding Dancer (OD) audition in the Senior category. As one of four male finalists, he faced an elite group of dancers, many of whom have aspirations for professional dance careers. At the awards ceremony on Sunday afternoon, the anticipation reached its peak as Nick was crowned Senior Male OD for the Baltimore Regionals, marking a significant milestone in his dance journey.

Rochester, NY─Bishop Kearney has earned the College Board AP^® Computer Science Female Diversity Award for achieving high female representation in AP Computer Science Principles (CSP). Schools honored with an AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award have expanded access to AP computer science courses for female students in their communities.

During the 2023-24 school year, 1,153 institutions achieved an AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award for CSA, CSP or both courses. Award contenders must either have reached 50% or higher female representation in one of the two AP computer science courses or have achieved a percentage of female computer science exam takers that meets or exceeds that of the school’s female population. Bishop Kearney was one of only 847 recognized for improving female representation in AP CSP.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — With three months of the hockey season in the books and the calendar page having turned over to 2025, the BK Selects girls have plenty to show for their efforts.

 

As of the second week of January, the 19U team sits at 37-3-0 and is ranked second in the nation, while the 16Us are 28-8-4 and ninth. That’s a lot of tangible results, and great ones at that.

 

But as events over the past couple of months have reminded, the BK Selects experience is about much more than wins and losses, goals and assists, blocks and saves.
