oversight. What was it?
A. Re Brenda Bessner, it did not mention that as a senior

We won our BCL League championship today beating Oakland Military Inst.
It is the school’s second BCL championship; first one was last season.
We are seeded #11 will play vs Hoopa Valley for first round game at
their home court. We did not get the home court advantage so we are
going to bear ourselves with 6 hours of driving up north near
California border line.

symptom in the game but contributed 8 points. Our record is now 7-12 with
a correction from Medora. s game, which was forfeited due to an

(newspaper story)
The Class B season doesn’t end until Saturday, and as it stands now, the
Lady Roadrunners of New Mexico School for the Deaf are the leaders in
District 1B. That is key because the regular-season champion gets a berth
into the Class B State Tournament at Bernalillo High School. It has been a
good year for the girls program at NMSD, what with the volleyball team
making its first appearance in the state tournament in eight years last
November.
We’ll see what happens over the next two weeks, but suffice it to say,
the Lady Roadrunners deserve kudos for their performance this year on the
court — volleyball and basketball.

Hoopa Valley, ugh! Six hours bus ride from Fremont.

Gallaudet women’s swimming
GU swamped by Notre Dame Gators, 68-53
January 25, 2012
BALTIMORE – The Gallaudet University women’s swimming team ran
into a very tough Notre Dame of Maryland University squad on the road
Wednesday as the Gators won 68-53 at the LeClerc Pool.
Gallaudet (3-9) won five of the 14 events as freshman Alexandra
Polivanchuk (Orebro, Sweden) had a hand in four of the five
first-place finishes. Polivanchuk won three individual events and
swam the anchor leg of the 160-yard freestyle relay. Her time of
1:01.69 in the 100 butterfly narrowly broke the GU program mark but
it did set a pool record. She placed first in the 200 butterfly
(2:29.18) and 1,000 freestyle (12:11.72). Her teammates on the relay
included junior Brittany Turner (Palmdale, Calif.), sophomore Alyssa
Gleason (Springfield, Va.) and freshman Tandy Lewis (Frederick, Md.)
as the Bison quartet finished in 1:33.22.
Junior Tong Song (Beijing, China) won the 160 IM in 2:09.66 and was
second in the 100 and 200 breaststroke with times of 1:21.56 and
2:54.94, respectively. Song was also on the second-place 160 medley
relay (1:48.12) along with Gleason, sophomore Valerie Farr (Fremont,
Calif.) and senior Danielle Koplitz (Eau Claire, Wis.).
Gleason had two individual finishes as she helped to earn GU team
points in the 100 and 200 backstroke with times of 1:20.78 and
2:53.12, respectively. Farr was second in the 160 IM, behind Song, as
she touched the wall in 2:15.50 while she placed third in the 100 and
200 breaststroke with times of 1:22.40 and 3:05.34, respectively.
Lewis was second in the 100 freestyle (1:12.50) and third in the 40
freestyle (23.55 seconds) and 200 freestyle (2:46.19).
The Gators improved their overall record to 4-3 with the win as Notre
Dame won nine events.
Gallaudet will be off this weekend before the Bison travel to College
of St. Elizabeth on Saturday, Feb. 4, at 4 p.m. for a North Eastern
Athletic Conference dual meet.

Gallaudet men’s swimming
Brian Bennett breaks Gallaudet school record in 1,000-yard freestyle
BALTIMORE – Senior Brian Bennett (Colorado Springs, Colo.) swam in
two exhibition events Wednesday evening at the LeClerc Pool on the
campus of Notre Dame of Maryland University as the Gallaudet
University women’s swimming team participated in a dual meet
with the host Gators, who won 68-53.
Bennett swam in two exhibition events to try and improve his times to
help his chances of swimming beyond the conference championships. The
senior leader of the Gallaudet men’s swimming team broke his
own school record in the 1,000-yard freestyle as he finished in 10
minutes, 14.97 seconds which was nearly four seconds faster then his
time he set back on Feb. 14, 2010.
The second event Bennett swam in was the 200 butterfly. He
didn’t break the school record but his time of 2:12.32 was a
personal best.

(from a Colorado newspaper)
Brian Bennett, Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind
Bennett is in the midst of his senior season at Gallaudet University, the
nation’s university for the deaf and hard of hearing. He has set four
school records this season (100-, 200- and 500-yard freestyle and the
100-yard butterfly). He holds nine program records. The 2010-11 North
Eastern Athletic Conference (Division III) Men’s Swimmer of the Year has
earned three conference swimmer of the week awards so far this season. The
Bison recently won their fifth meet of the year to clinch the first
winning season since 1965 and only the second winning season all-time.

Gallaudet women’s basketball program featured by espnW in Hoops Across America
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Gallaudet University was recently profiled by
espnW, the new women’s athletics website powered by ESPN, and
was selected as one of 16 women’s basketball programs from all
NCAA divisions to be featured in “Hoops Across America.”
The Bison women’s basketball program rubs elbows will
powerhouse programs such as University of Tennessee, University of
Connecticut, Baylor University, Purdue University and defending
Division I national champion Texas A&M University to name a few of
the other “Sweet 16” teams being profiled. Eight programs
have been profiled thus far and Gallaudet has been the lone Division
III program featured.
The espnW website describes the season long feature as “we
will take a journey across America, bringing you an in-depth look at
16 women’s college basketball programs — our Sweet 16. We’ll begin
the first week of the season and conclude just before the conference
tournaments. We’ll visit powerhouse schools and those off the beaten
path, programs that are emerging and those that were there from the
beginning. At the end of this 16 weeks, we hope you’ll have a true
flavor of Hoops Across America”
This past December, writer Brant James came out to watch
Gallaudet’s home game against North Eastern Athletic Conference
(NEAC) foe Penn St.-Berks, where the Bison were victorious 85-55. His
account of the game and atmosphere can be read in his story titled
“Gallaudet makes its point loud and clear.”

on the team. They are very balanced team as they are one of the top
three teams in IPPSAL League. However, our girls could not click on
offense as we missed a lot of shots that should have gone in. Some of
the shots bounced out of the rim. Shots were not going our way.
Nayrani Seerattan was shut out as she had scored no points. Alexis
McLeod got in foul trouble in so early part of the game and could not
recover then fouled out. Christal Greene was sorely missed as she was
absent and stayed home because she is sick. Waldorf played great

Deaf Sports Trivia
Q. Who is Ed Malefyt and what was his claim to fame?
A. Do read an old DeafDigest Sports posting:
Who was the most improbable hero in the rich history of
Eastern Schools for the Deaf boys’ basketball tournaments?
Ed Malefyt, of New Jersey School School for
the Deaf, let go a long set shot to win the 1958 championship
game against Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf.
Malefyt, born with one arm, did not see a minute of action
during the tournament until eleven seconds remained in the
overtime, with the score still knotted at 44-44. Because of foul
disqualifications, the New Jersey coach ran short of subs and had
to insert the rarely-used Malefyt into the game.
The cocky Western Pennsylvania boys, upon seeing Malefyt get
set for the final shot from the 40-foot range, did not guard him
closely. They felt he would misfire and the game would go into
the second overtime.
The shot went in at the buzzer, handing his school the
surprise championship!
One crestfallen Western Pennsylvania player said his loafing
on defense was a painful lifetime lesson.

Gallaudet men’s swimming
DJ Everton-Lovell earns the NEAC Men’s Swimming Student-Athlete of the Week award
GANSEVOORT, N.Y. – The North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC)
announced its student-athlete of the week selections for Dec. 5, and
Gallaudet University sophomore D.J. Everton-Lovell (Norfolk, Va.) was
named NEAC Men’s Swimming Student-Athlete of the Week after a
dominant performance Saturday at the Field House pool.
Everton-Lovell won three individual events and a relay to help the
Bison (4-2-1, 2-0 NEAC) defeat NEAC rival Wells College (2-3, 1-1
NEAC), 155-117. The sophomore took first place in the 200-yard
butterfly (2:28.36), the 200-yard backstroke (2:09.52), and the
400-yard individual medley (5:03.45). He was also a part of the
winning 200-yard medley relay team along with seniors Brian Bennett
(Colorado Springs, Colo.), James McGowan (Palm Coast, Fla.), and Sean
Ryant (Cleveland, Ohio). That group narrowly missed a Gallaudet
program record of 1:49.52 with a time of 1:49.88.
Everton-Lovell received this honor once last year as well, being
selected for the week of Nov. 15, 2010. Bennett, last season’s
NEAC Men’s Swimmer of the Year, has won three NEAC Men’s
Swimming Student-Athlete of the Week honors this season.
Gallaudet will step out of conference this week and will be tested in
York, Pa., against former Capital Athletic Conference foe York (Pa.)
College and Penn St.-Altoona on Friday, Dec. 9, at 6 p.m. This is the
last meet of the semester for the Bison.

Attention: athletic directors & basketball coaches
DeafDigest Sports exists to serve all of you.
You are expected to turn in the game scores on a regular
basis throughout the season.
Schools that do not regularly turn in the scores will NOT
be invited to nominate their best players for Deaf All
American honors.
It is not fair to schools that faithfully turn in their scores
when other schools don’t!
If you are seeing this phrase “newspaper story” it means the

Thank you.

Deaf Sports Trivia
Q. Fremont did not make it in the football playoffs. Have
we ever had deaf schools that won state championships in
11-man football?
A. Never. North Carolina and Oklahoma were state runner ups
in the past in 11-man football. Arizona and Colorado were
state 8-man football champions in the past, and in recent
years, New Mexico was the state 6-man champions.

New Mexico School for the Deaf Roadrunners
Head coach: Robert Haney Jr. (fourth season)
Last season: 13-11, 4-4 District 2A.
Returning letter winners: Andrick Carroll, 5-foot-9, junior; Tyrel
Wilding, 5-11, junior; Julio Ruiz, 5-9, junior; Immanuel Neubauer, 5-9,
junior; Zachery Lee, 6-0, junior.
Key newcomers: Kendrick Skeet, 5-foot-5, sophomore; Jesus Medrano, 5-7,
junior; Silvano Frank, 5-8, junior; Fernando Silva, 5-10, sophomore.
Outlook: Graduation and injuries have the Roadrunners looking to regroup
and rebuild. NMSD returns five lettermen, yet this year’s roster features
no seniors.
But count four-year starter Julio Ruiz, a 5-foot-9 junior, as NMSD’s
figurative senior.
“Ruiz brings leadership and experience to the team,” Haney Jr. said in an
email.
Zachery Lee and Tyrel Wilding likely will pick up the majority of scoring
and rebounding for the Roadrunners as they look to take advantage of their
speed and rebounding. Meanwhile, Kendrick Skeets will be the team’s
3-point threat.
“The key words for this year will be ‘defense’ and ‘speed,’ ” Haney said.
“[We] will look to throttle opposing teams’ offenses.”

New Mexico girls basketball
(newspaper story)
New Mexico School for the Deaf Lady Roadrunners
Head coach: Letty Perez (ninth season).
Last season: 12-13, 3-3 District 1B
Returning letterwinners: Caldonia Wilding, 5-foot-9, senior; Rosina
Garcia, 5-6, junior; Amberley Luna, 5-5, sophomore; Kimberly Herrera, 5-4,
sophomore
Key newcomers: None
Outlook: The NMSD starting lineup is loaded with experience, but beyond
that it’s anyone’s guess.
Wilding is the lone senior for the Lady Roadrunners and leads a group of
three other starters that notched considerable minutes last year. The
fifth starting position is still up in the air because of injuries and the
bench is untested.
”Our starters know the system from last year, so I am expecting good
things from them this year in terms of playmaking, offense and defense,”
Perez said in an email.
Perez added that it will also be the starters’ roles to test and teach
the up-and-coming players the fundamentals and speed of the game. That
experience might help the Lady Roadrunners ascend over the .500 1B mark
they reached a year ago.

Q. Ron Stern was well noted for his basketball skills while playing
for Gallaudet in the early part of seventies. But it was not his
only sport. What were the other sports that he played?
