Primetime 585 Spotlight Team: Canandaigua boys lacrosse
After earning a spot in the Class B state championship, the Primetime 585 Spotlight Team of the Week is the Canandaigua boys lacrosse team. The Gray Wolves have had quite the path to the state finals. It started in their sectional final game, where they knocked off defending champion Victor 11-10. Canandaigua then faced Lake Shore in its regional game, defeating the Section VI team 15-6. The Gray Wolves built an early lead with seven goals in the first quarter and never looked back. Patrick Olvany had three goals in the win, and Drew Williamee had five assists to go with his two goals. Goalie Quentin Shedrick recorded a 75% save rate in the matchup. Nine different Gray Wolves found the back of the net in the regional win — a stat that proves head coach Deven York's philosophy that every player on his roster has something to contribute. 'From the beginning, we've been an all-in, everybody, top-bottom mentality,' York said. 'Everybody on the team's got a role, everybody's role is just as important. These guys embrace it, so that's how we roll.' In the state semifinals, Canandaigua defeated Christian Brothers Academy of Section III 17-11. Mike Belles led the way with six goals and added two assists. Ryan Bremer tallied four goals and an assist, while Jack Stanney picked up three goals and Williamee added two. After the win, Stanney spoke on the excitement of the state championship, especially as it will feel like a home game with just a short trip to Hobart and William Smith Colleges. 'We're excited to be back there,' Stanney said. 'It's in our home turf, it's going to be a lot of people there cheering for us. We're excited for it. It's going to be a good time. It's going to be fun.' The last time Canandaigua made an appearance in the state finals was in 2022 when Williamee was a freshman. The senior has grown a lot since then, learning what it takes to get ready for the high-stakes games. 'As an individual, I don't feel pressure anymore,' Williamee said. 'You've just got to get yourself comfortable. Everybody has their own little mojo that they've got to do to get themselves ready. But, it's just another game.' Canandaigua will face off against Garden City of Section VIII on Friday, June 13th at 5:30 p.m. Congratulations to the Gray Wolves for being this week's Primetime 585 Spotlight Team!

Colorado officials say cow on Jackson County ranch killed by uncollared wolf
Colorado Parks and Wildlife said a depredation incident is under investigation after an uncollared wolf killed a cow on a ranch in Jackson County last week. The odd part, they said, is there has been no collar activity in the area. CPW said they believe the depredation was committed by an uncollared wolf in the North Park area that was not part of Colorado reintroduction efforts. "CPW has functioning GPS collars on all reintroduced wolves and two known wolves from a breeding pair that moved into the state from Wyoming in 2021. The uncollared fifth pup from the former Copper Creek Pack was confirmed to be in another location of the state at the time," they explained. The agency said they don't believe the wolf sighted in northwest Moffat County was involved in the depredation. Officials said that, at the moment, the origin of the animal is unknown. A female Gray Wolf recently entered the state's southeast region and has been spotted in Park, Teller, and Fremont counties. "CPW relies on sightings from the public to let us know if other wolves are being seen on the landscape that have moved in from other states. This wolf movement is normal and expected," said the CPW. Officials said as the Colorado wolf population increases they will continue to monitor their territories so they can collaborate with ranchers to minimize conflict and protect livestock. They said their goal is to maintain at least two active collars per pack. "When it is known, CPW field staff inform local area producers when wolves are spending time in an area and work to establish site assessments to identify and deploy deterrence measures. Wolves without collars make this challenging, and relying on signs (scat, prints, etc.) becomes more important," they explained. CPW said the livestock producer can submit a claim and may be eligible for the fair market value of the livestock under its Gray Wolf Compensation and Conflict Management Program. Their Collared Gray Wolf Activity Map offers information on where wolved have been over the last 30 days and is updated monthly. Colorado ranchers have been frustrated over the recent new release of Gray Wolves this year. In response, CPW recently hired nine range riders in the northwest region of Colorado to help protect livestock from wolf attacks.
