Shenendehowa High School’s Marissa Ray has decided to attend
Union
College this fall. The 6’0” guard will be playing basketball
for the Dutchman next season and is looking forward to playing
college ball in front of the home crowd. While long time Sparks
teammate and Niskayuna center Katie Cocca will be packing her bags
and heading off to play basketball for the
College of Saint Benedict in St. John’s
Minnesota.
The dynamic duo have played together with the Sparks since the 5th
grade and they have clearly hit the books, both attending fine
institutions with great reputations for academics.
We wish Marissa, Katie and their families the best of luck and
thank them for their contributions to the program.

Long time Saratoga Spark Kayla Wheeler will be playing college
basketball at the
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). The 5’11”
forward graduated from Shenendehowa High School with grades that
placed her at the top of her class. Her college choice was very
simple,
“All I want to do is get a great education and continue
to wear the colors that have helped me become a better player,
teammate and citizen” shared the lanky soon to be college
freshman. Kayla will soon be starting her college career wearing
Sparks orange for the TIgers of RIT.
Local fans and family where thrilled to learn that RIT will soon be
competing in the Liberty League against local power houses RPI,
Union and Skidmore.
Not only did Kayla play six seasons with the Saratoga Sparks, but
she also spent her senior year as an assistant coach, helping the
Sparks 16U team to a very successful season. We wish Kayla and her
family the very best and look forward to rooting for RIT when they
are in the area.

Gym Ray Challenge Website:
Congratulations
to Sydnie Rosales (not
pictured) for being named
the 2010 Most Valuable GymRat. She brought calm to the court,
particularly against a pressing defense applied by the New York
Gauchos in the event's championship game. Her smooth play was on
display here. She is good in transition, advancing the ball very
well. Has exceptional range, even beyond the 3-point stripe.
Coming off an injury plagued season at Colonie, but looks to be
back to full health. Showed an ability to dominate games when she
plays with intensity. Her size and ability she exhibits marks her a
potential future Division I recruit. Read
