Are you watching the Olympics? I’m trying to keep up with our local athletes on the National squad. Watching Matt Anderson on the men’s volleyball team, I noticed something weird, which was also the case for the women’s team: One player on each team was wearing a different-colored jersey than the rest of the squad! What’s up with that?
The U.S. Olympic team had some high notes and a few low ones over the weekend as the games kicked off with opening ceremonies on Friday evening. A couple of Western New Yorkers happened to be among those high notes.
Who would have ever thought Matt Anderson would be heading to the Olympics someday a few years back when he was playing volleyball for West Seneca West? His mom, that's who! Joe and Cheryl spoke with Nancy Anderson about her son and his journey to represent the USA.
Amanda Kullman grew up in West Seneca, studied hard and was active in after school athletics. She's now making headlines at Syracuse University for her role on the college's volleyball team.
