FREWSBURG – The Frewsburg Central School community has been honored with a joint resolution by the state Legislature during a recent visit by state Assemblyman Andrew Molitor, R-Westfield, and state Sen. George Borrello, R-Sunset Bay.

The Frewsburg girls basketball team won the 2025 New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class C State Championship. The legislators visited the school recently to personally congratulate the team and present each player with a copy of the resolution.

The legislation, passed unanimously in both the state Senate and Assembly, recognizes the Lady Bears’ 2025 season, which culminated in a win that brought home the first state basketball title in school history.

“This team represents everything that’s great about high school sports — teamwork, determination, and heart,” Borrello said. “They worked tirelessly, overcame challenges, and brought home a championship that the entire region is proud of. This resolution is a small way for the state of New York to say: well done, and thank you.”

Molitor, who also represents Chautauqua County, praised the players, coaches, and supporters for their unwavering dedication throughout the season.

“The Frewsburg Girls Basketball Team showed us all what can happen when talent meets hard work and a supportive community,” said Molitor. “These student-athletes are not only champions on the scoreboard — they are role models, leaders, and a source of inspiration for young people across the state.”

The resolution outlines the team’s stellar season record, playoff run, and the championship game that saw the Lady Bears showcase their skill, resilience, and team unity. It also acknowledges the leadership of Head Coach Sierra Beaver and the support of school administrators, parents and community members who stood behind the team every step of the way.

“This is more than a win — it’s a legacy,” Borrello said. “The Lady Bears have etched their names into Frewsburg history, and we are honored to help celebrate that achievement.”
