During a recent conversation with a Capital District business leader, a remark was made that struck a chord and resonates with me still. The sentiment expressed encapsulated what the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Basketball Tournament (NYPHSAA) means to people from all walks of life and from all regions of the state. He said, “Glens Falls is the epitome of what it means to strive to succeed in life. When I reflect on my high school days of athletics and playing for our basketball team, the road to Glens Falls was the culmination of our commitment and hard work to become winners. I can honestly say that having the vision of playing in Glens Falls provided me with the ability to envision other goals that have made me successful in all aspects of my life.
