Spring sports officially back in Mount Vernon
Good news for the baseball team at Mount Vernon. All necessary funding has been raised for the spring season.
After the fall and the winter were taken care of, the spring seemed likely to fall into place. Still, hearing official word removes any doubt.
The Knights begin this season without longtime coach Joe Mazzella, who retired after last season. Mazzella was replaced by assistant Walter Allen, who you may remember from his stint at Horace Greeley. He managed the Quakers to within an out of the 2003 Class A championship.
Allen is one of two new coaches in League 1-A this year alongside Pete Annunziata of New Rochelle. Annunziata was an assistant under Mike Sgobbo.

That’s great to hear about the sports back on the table in Mount Vernon, it’s a bad deal when any district cuts their athletics because I believe that the lessons these kids learn on the sports fields/courts are just as important as the ones they are supposed to be learning in the classes. Sounds like they also have a good baseball man in charge, must be if he can get Greeley to a sectional final. From your story/blurb “…who you may remember from his stint at Horace Greeley. He managed the Quakers to within an out of the 2003 Class A championship.” my only question is why did he leave Greeley?
Good luck Knights!
