The whistle blows, the ball is tossed in the air, and the game begins. It\u2019s time for the annual, highly-anticipated \u201cUnder the Lights\u201d basketball game, in which Owego\u2019s oldest campers face off against their Pine Forest counterparts. It\u2019s a rivalry years in the making, with lots of big talk from both sides. Today, at precisely 3:30 (which technically was under the sunlight) the game tipped off on Chadwin Court at Pine Forest. Owego\u2019s 11th graders not playing in the game went along for the ride, cheering on their friends as they attempted to defeat the Pine Forest team. Though our spectators were greatly outnumbered by the home team\u2019s, our campers exhibited a massive amount of spirit and support for the Owego players.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

The game was a nail-biter, with each team trading the lead until the final moments. As the final buzzer sounded, the boys in blue shouted with joy. The final score? 32 to 29, Owego wins!!! It was an impressive team effort, and the reward was sweet. For the second straight year, the Owego boys\u2019 16U basketball team claimed victory!<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight, our \u201cOld Timers\u201d gathered for a ceremony to honor those campers and staff who have spent seven or more years at camp. Everyone currently in his third summer and up was invited to the celebration, which involves the newly-minted Old Timers telling their most memorable stories from their years growing up at camp. Following the ceremony, the group shuffled into the dining hall for the Old Timers\u2019 ice cream bash, lovingly dubbed the \u201cDing-a-Ling.\u201d Campers lined up at the kitchen window while key staff scooped ice cream. Vanilla or chocolate? Easy decision. Toppings? Much more difficult. Hot fudge, whipped cream, sprinkles, whatever you desire. A good time was had by all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s events honored our oldest campers and most loyal Owegans. These campers grew up at camp, looking forward to the day when they would get the chance to play in the \u201cUnder the Lights\u201d basketball game. They patiently awaited their third summer, when they would finally learn the secret of the mysterious \u201cDing-a-Ling.\u201d The Owego brotherhood is one with a long history of traditions, where boys grow into young men and earn the privileges that come with that growth.<\/span><\/p>\n
