Women’s Club Basketball
by Jessica Kisluk
Oswego, NY –
Oswego State has a new Women’s Club Basketball team. The team got its start when Brianna Muncy met girls who showed interest in this type of club that did not exist on campus. She soon found a Vice President and Coach.
The club’s Vice President Raven Coffiel says, “I really have to give her all the credit though; it was really all her own.” Coach Chelsea Flores went to school for coaching at Oswego State and thought coaching women’s club basketball would be a great step toward her athletic coaching career.
The team started out small but is looking to improve and have some home games. They have had games in Binghamton and Hamilton so far, and are looking to play against schools such as Cortland and LeMoyne.
The club team gives the players a chance to play on a less competitive level. They are always looking for new players and for people to cheer them on.
For more information about the team, you can follow them on Twitter @OswegoClubBBall.

City of Oswego Mayor Billy Barlow proposed a $50 reduction to the sewer bill for flat-rate users. According to the mayor’s office, if approved, flat rate users would see their sewer bill decrease a total of $350 over the past five years.
“Further reducing the sewer bill for flat rate users is a well-deserved give-back to city residents who have paid too much in sewer fees due to the failures of previous administrations,” said Mayor Barlow, in a press release. “The work our wastewater department, economic development department, and smart budgeting and strategic thinking has allowed for two previous rate decreases and we are happy to continue that trend by further relieving residents with this proposed decrease.”
The proposed $50 reduction follows two previous annual reductions: a $200 decrease in 2019 and a $100 decrease in 2021.
Tonight at 6:30 p.m., the Administrative Services Committee will vote on the proposal at Oswego City Hall. If it passes, the Common Council will hold a full vote on Monday, September 11th.
