RECAP OF LAGUARDIA'S 1ST BASKETBALL SEASON- BY DAMIAN WALSH

LaGuardia Community College entered the intercollegiate athletic world this year for the very first time! This year, under the Red Hawks name, both the men and women basketball teams competed. However, it was a tough season for both squads inaugural season. Let’s get into details about the teams seasons.

Women’s Basketball: Coached by Anthony Alfaro, who has been in the coaching field since 1996, left Vaughn College to come coach the upstart Red Hawks. This year the girls went 12-16, and 5-4 in the conference, averaging 62 points per game. Star players Chyna Lennox and Shaquella Figueroa led the team with 15.9 and 13.8 points per game respectively. 

           Some stat notes for you to be aware of: LaGuardia led the NJCAA conference in both total rebounds and defensive rebounds per game at 61.2 and 37.8 rebounds respectively. LaGuardia was 4th in assists at 19.6, and 8th in rebound margins per game at 19.1. What really hurt LaGuardia’s girls this season was turnovers and personal foul calls. At an average of 31 turnovers per game, which is ranked 76th in the conference, turnovers have to be cut down if LaGuardia wants to find some success next season.

They were also 76th in the conference on personal foul calls.This amount of personal fouls can usually lead to foul outs, unfortunately leaving the talented players on the bench. LaGuardia had much success against the other CUNY community colleges. Their most impressive wins came against Kingsborough CC, which they won 80-39 and 78-40, both on Kingsborough’s home turf! They made the CUNY Athletic Conference Championship Semi-finals, but would only lose to Bronx CC. If the girls can improve on turnovers and get out of mid-pack on some of the other stat categories, this can be a team to be reckoned with! 

Men’s Basketball: Coached by Ben Chobhaphand, a former Queens High School Coach of the Year for his outstanding basketball teams in Forest Hills High School.

Did you know? Mr. Chobhaphand has coached a player that made it to the NBA?!? Yes he has! He coached Maurice Harkless, who plays for the Orlando Magics!

The Men’s team struggled this season. They went a dismal 5-22 (All 5 wins in their conference, which led to a conference record of 5-12) and averaged 74 points per game. Star players Kenny Baez, Jermaine Anthony, Charles Williams, and David Noel all averaged between 11 and 14 points per game and had significant playing time. The Boys had just one stat category where they ranked inside the top 20, which was in blocks per game (5 – 12th). This team has a lot of flaws that need to be worked out if they want to gain success. Like the girls, both personal fouls (81st in conference) and turnovers (93rd in conference) really need to be cut down. The #1 thing that can make or break your team is how many turnovers it commits. The guys really struggled with points. Averaging 74 points in this conference just won’t cut it. They are going to have to be able to find ways to score. They were ranked 29th in points (1,267), but the higher the average points per game usually translates to wins. The Men’s most successful win came against BMCC with the game held right here at LaGuardia, winning 96-71.

While the teams struggled, this is LaGuardia’s 1st season, so you can't really get on them about doing so bad. Everything is new so as soon as things workitself out, things will improve. Of course, you have to applaud the teams for their hard efforts, no matter what the stats and records are. These men and women love the game enough to play it, so things will get better.Great 1st year LaGuardia Red Hawks!

Side note: Be on the lookout for men’s and women’s swimming teams coming soon to the Red Hawks!

NEW YORK CITY TRAINS- BY VICTOR JUAREZ

The idea of a train on an elevated line came as far back as the 1860’s. Industries began to flourish, as the Civil War took place. The very first elevated line that opened in New York was the Ninth Avenue Line in the late 1870’s. The line started in South Ferry, in Manhattan, towards its extension to The Bronx at 167th Street. Then, other lines like the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th Ave developed.

Elevated trains began to develop as well. Corporations like the Inter-borough Rapid Transit (IRT), Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit, (BMT), and the Independent Subway System (IND or ISS) also began to form and compete against each other. The 1920’s to the 1940’s began what was called the golden age of elevated trains, since there were a lot of ridership, popularity, as well as the expansion of elevated and subway lines in all of the 5 boroughs.

When the two main companies of the transit systems (IRT and BMT) began to find themselves bankrupt, the City administration of New York began to absorb and united them into a single organization in the late 1930’s. This organization would soon become the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) New York City Transit, 30 years  later.

After the city take-over of these companies, there were numerous noise complaints and the administration began to demolish sections of the elevated lines in all the 4 boroughs. This process of the demolition started with the 42nd Street Spur in the 1920’s to the early 1970’s with the Bronx El (3 Ave. Line). 

Soon all of the elevated lines, except the proportion of the (1) line in Upper Manhattan, were demolished in Manhattan. In Brooklyn, the Lexington Ave. Fifth Ave and the proportions of the Culver, Myrtle, and Broadway lines were destroyed as well. It soon followed the 2nd Avenue line via the Queensboro Bridge in Queens and the Ninth and Third Avenue line proportions in the Bronx. 

The IRT consisted the 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 9th, elevated lines, the (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) and the (S) trains. The BMT had the (J) (L) (M) (N) (Q) (S) (Z) trains. The IND possessed the (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) (F) (G) (R) and (S) trains.

All of those trains and subways operated in all of the 5 boroughs except for Staten Island, which has its own railway. In the half century between the 1950’s and the 2000’s marked the growth of the population in New York City. More than thousands of people use the subway every day to get from one place to another.  Many people who traveled to work, school, tour, or just get to their destination use the train as a way as mass transportation.
