I hadn't realized it, but the Dryden and Ithaca school districts are among the few in the county that still have a junior varsity football program. Lansing also has one, and Trumansburg's closed this fall. The pictures with the article are of the Dryden team, and there's some good discussion of why JV is a good complement to varsity football on many levels.
There's also a very strange correction to the police monitor, clearing a Dryden teen of an armed robbery charge and instead noting his arrest and that of another Dryden teen in a different robbery.
