The Giant's very own Jesse Sherwood has been dominating Vestal sports this year.  When the school year began, Jesse played football with his twin brother Andy, giving new strength to an already strong defensive team.  The twins both helped lead Vestal to State Regionals against Webster, a highly recognized football team.  Although they were defeated 48-7 in the game, the fact that they made it that far was more than enough.  Moving on to lacrosse, Jesse's name is popping up time and time again, just as his brother Andy is making more of name for himself playing baseball.  Wait and see how the season unfolds as Vestal continues to destroy all opposition....
