Suffern cheerleaders: The Suffern Junior Midget Mounties cheerleaders recently placed first in the regional category of the Pop Warner Empire State Cheerleading Championships for the second year in a row.

Members of the team include: Jordon Anderson, Emily Conklin, Rachel Felsenheld, Ashley Kelly, Carlee Lopez, Katie Medici, Sidney Padilla, and Angelina Robinson.

Men's softball: Adam Love homered and drove in three runs as C&W Auto Repair completed an undefeated season with an 11-5 win over Bailey's in the championship game of the Rockland County Fall League. Henry Hernandez pitched the win as C&W improved to 16-0.

Tops in soccer: Michael Spallone has been selected by his OMM Rowdies soccer teammates at the team's best goalie and MVP for the second straight season.

Spallone, a third-grader at Highview Elementary School, was the team's high scorer with a personal best 19 goals, including two hat tricks, while playing striker.

As the netminder, he allowed just two goals in 75 minutes.

Spallone, four-year veteran of the Orangetown Might Midgets soccer club, was also outstanding on defense when he played fullback.
