The Southern Tier of New York is proud to support the many sports teams and sporting events throughout each year. From youth sports to high school, college, and professional, we have it all. Not every community can boast that fact.

Win or lose, it's fun to watch our local sports teams in action. This time of the year, some of the high school sports include swimming, wrestling, bowling, and basketball competition.
