Heath steadies Irondequoit attack
By PAUL GOTHAM
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Chris Cardon enjoys practice the most.
In 34 years on the bench, the head coach of Irondequoit boys’ basketball has guided the Eagles to 480 wins, three sectional championships and one New York State title.
But it’s the time spent preparing for those victories that he finds rewarding.
Like everyone else during this pandemic-shortened season, Cardon is happy to have games and the opportunity for players to get on the court. Chances to prepare for those contests, though, have been rare.
“We’ve had 16 practices and nine games,” Cardon said after Irondequoit’s 56-34 victory over Brighton, Tuesday night. “Usually, we have 18-20 practices and three scrimmages before you play a game. Everything has been condensed.”
