Cocca and Ray Continue to Play

IMG_8724IMG_0239
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.
