Gowanda Sports Report By Bill Peglowski GOWANDA– The delayed winter sports season is starting to wind down with the spring sports season coming in May. Before then, the postponed part of the fall 2020 season is on deck, including football and volleyball. Meanwhile, the Gowanda boys basketball team hosted Randolph on March 2. In an abysmal performance, Gowanda did not score in double digits in any quarter. The Panthers found themselves falling behind 22-10 by halftime on the way to a 44-27 defeat. Even consistent team leader, John Ondus, was held to just seven points in the game. The team traveled to Brockton, one of the two teams they had previously beaten looking for redemption. The two teams played evenly through the first quarter which ended with Brocton up 14-13. Gowanda’s Maddox Browning scored from 3-point range to open the second quarter and
put the Panthers up by two. Gowanda went on a 32-8 tear in the period, putting Brocton in a 45-22 hole at halftime. The Panthers went on another point spree in the third quarter. Ondus would score four 3-point baskets in that quarter. With teammate Maddox Browning adding eight points of his own, the Panthers outscored Brocton 29-9 in the period. In a final quarter that began with Gowanda up 74-31, a lot of the bench players got substantial playing time in the period. Combined total points for both teams in that period was nine and Gowanda went home with an 83-34 victory. Top Panthers were Ondus, Browning and Adam Golden with 27, 22 and 16 points, respectively. On March 5, the Panthers closed out the week at Falconer, the other team they had previously beaten. Gowanda blew open the first quarter scoring Falconer 21 to 7 in the period. The rest of the game was fairly even with Falconer edging Gowanda by one point in the 3rd quarter and the teams even with 14

points each in the 4th. But the damage had been done early and Gowanda left with a 73-54 win. Ondus led Gowanda with 20 points. He was followed by Cole Herman who hit five times from 3-point range for 15 points. Golden and Mason Ruff contributed 15 and 12 points, respectively. The Gowanda Lady Panthers opened their week hosting a Silver Creek Lady Black Knights. Gowanda’s Miya Scanlan led the charge scoring two 3-point baskets and a total of 11 points in the first quarter. The Lady Panthers outscored Silver Creek 15-7 in the period. In a sluggish second quarter, Gowanda added seven points while limiting Silver Creek to just three. Start-
ing down 22-10, the Lady Black Knights mounted a comeback in the third period. Abby Rice would score 12 points, including twice beyond the 3-point line, leading a 19-9 Silver Creek surge to close the gap to a slim 31-29 Gowanda lead. The Lady Panthers answered back holding the Lady Black Knights to four points in the final quarter while adding 11 to their own total. When it was all over, the Lady Panthers had a 42-33 win. Scanlan had 16 points for Gowanda and Scotia Snyder contributed another 11. Abby Rice led Silver Creek with 16 points. She was also credited with three blocks and three steals in the game. The Lady Panthers went

to Falconer March 4. For most of the way, it was a back and forth game. Gowanda was up by one after one period, down by three after two and down by one after three. As was the case in the previous game, the Lady Panthers rallied for a strong 4th quarter effort. Gowanda outscored Falconer 16-8 in that final quarter taking them to a final 50-45 victory. Aailya Stevens had 17 points to lead the Lady Panthers. Scanlan contributed 13 points, nine of those coming
on 3-point shots.

If you have already removed or are in the process of removing an old Concord vineyard that you think might qualify for this program, please contact LERGP as soon as possible. The Vineyard Improvement Program has had 27 applicants and has paid out almost $170,000 for the 10 projects that have been completed and another $200,000 projected for the current projects pending completion. One of the goals of this program is to remove some of the abandoned vineyards in the region that are currently a reservoir for insects and disease. Those reservoirs require commercial growers to apply more pesticides to their vineyards in order to maintain control of the pests and produce a quality product.

Other seniors on the team include Cameron Wight (four years on the team), Rowan Mentley-Peters (first year), Kirk Mohawk (first year) and Austin Sanchez (first year).

When should you replace rotors and brake pads?
The ability to accelerate and steer freely is vital to vehicle performance. Equally crucial is being able to stop the car to avoid collisions and obstacles. Brake pads and rotors are vital components of braking mechanisms that need to be maintained and serviced. Drivers may wonder how frequently they have to replace brake parts. Car and Driver magazine states brake pads are among the most crucial braking components. Brake pads create the friction that helps stop a car when they are pressed against the brake rotor, also known as the brake disc. It’s in drivers’ best interests to ensure that brake pads, as well as rotors, always function properly and are replaced before their effectiveness is compromised. Replacing brake pads Brake pads are made from different materials, but all will wear down over time, losing a portion of material every time the brakes are used. Eventually brake pads will not be able to generate enough friction to stop the vehicle quickly. Industry experts generally recommend brakes be replaced every 20,000 to 60,000 miles. Since that is a wide mileage range, drivers can listen for squealing noises or grinding sounds or feel for vibrations when deploying the brakes. Each of those signs may indicate brakes need to be replaced. Replacing rotors Like brake pads, rotors also will wear out over time. Brake rotors must meet a certain thickness to
be considered safe. If they are below that thickness, then they must be fully replaced. Some drivers opt to have their rotors resurfaced. This means removing any grooves, hotspots or anomalies on the rotors that can cause uneven wear of the brake pads. However, if the rotors are too thin, they cannot be resurfaced, as this removes some additional rotor material. Rotors can only be resurfaced once before replacement. Some vehicles have rotors that cannot be resurfaced at all. Rotors can go thousands of miles before they need to be replaced, but vibrations while braking and squeaking noises are usually indicative that rotors need to be
checked and/or replaced. Even though brake pads and rotors may wear out at different intervals, many automotive professionals advise replacing rotors when brake
