Senator Larkin Makes Good On H.s. Football Game Bet With Senator Nozzolio

Making good on the bet he made with Senator Michael Nozzolio of Fayette, New York, Senator Bill Larkin today presented Senator Nozzolio with a t-shirt, mug, and baseball hat from the Orange County Choppers.

This is the second time in back-to-back years that the senators have made a friendly wager on the state Class AA championship football game since schools in their districts have now faced each other in the final game two years in a row. Auburn stunned Monroe-Woodbury 27-26 in overtime for the 2006 title.

Senator Larkin reminded Senator Nozzolio that Monroe-Woodbury won the state championship last year by beating Webster High School and vowed to back the student athletes with another wager in the future. "This was a heartbreaking loss for our kids this year, but I know they’ll be back stronger than ever next year," said Senator Larkin.
