Another Chazy High School preseason soccer tournament is back on the pitch, as it continues to remember what many referred to him as a “super kid.”The annual Frankie Garrow Memorial Tournament featured four separate high schools in northern New York, attracting the local community to watch in soccer, while keeping in mind the former Chazy student who died in a one-car accident back in 2009. While Garrow is missed, his positivity still lingers in the community. An involved student in Chazy soccer, basketball and theatre while doing it all with a sweet spirit. His aura is something that could still be seen surrounding George Brendler Field Thursday, with several fans happy to see the game that Garrow also once loved. “To know Frankie was to like Frankie,” said former Chazy school board member Joe Trombley. “When you were with him, you were smiling … just a fun guy to be around and he’s missed.”Some intense action was definitely not missing from this year’s opening round. The play kicked off with Beekmantown High School matching up with Canton High School. No score was made until the second half, with a cross from Sam Bingel setting up Markel Mosley for a header that led to the first score of the contest. The Golden Bears would tie it back up, but Mosley would give his squad the lead on a free kick, leading to a 2-1 final in favor of the Eagles. Chazy and Plattsburgh High School were up next in a defensive grind. Both goals came in the last minutes of each half. Chazy’s Ryan Demers scored his first varsity goal with less than a minute in the first, but a deflection off of a Chazy player’s hand led to the score being tied back up at 1-1 in the second half. The match was then decided in PKs, with a couple of clutch saves from Plattsburgh goalie Nick Clookey sealing the deal down the stretch to give his squad the victory. Plattsburgh and Beekmantown will match up in the Frankie Garrow championship match on Saturday, Sept. 2, at 7 p.m. Chazy will face Canton in the consolation game that same day at 5 p.m.
