Ichabod Crane Athletics These words are inscribed on the wall of the lobby at the entrance of the Ichabod Crane High School Gymnasium. These words embody the philosophy of the Ichabod Crane Athletic Program.
______________________________________________________
On Tues., Nov. 17, Ichabod Crane High School senior Derick Horn has signed a letter of intent to play Division I baseball at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut.
The switch hitting catcher/infielder has led the ICC baseball team in batting since the ninth grade. Last year, as a junior, Derick had a batting average of .475, hitting five homeruns.
As an eighth grader, Derick pitched for the Riders with a record of 5-1. In his freshman year, he threw a two hitter on 71 pitches at Joe Bruno Stadium in Troy to help the Riders capture the Section II, Class A championship. In his sophomore and junior years, Derick moved to a position player, catching and playing the infield. Derick is a member of the National Honor Society at Ichabod Crane High School.

Since ICC has done so well in the Patroon Conference the past three years, they expect to play some stiff competition.

FIELD DEDICATION CEREMONY
On August 5, 2008, the Ichabod Crane Board of Education passed a resolution officially naming our newly upgraded athletic facilities the “E. GORDON VAN BUREN ATHLETIC COMPLEX.” The complex, which is adjacent to the High School on Route 9 in Valatie, includes softball and baseball fields, 8-lane track, concession stand and tennis courts. These improvements were the result of a recent capital project approved by local voters and a grant-in-aid for the tennis courts supplied by former Assemblyman John Faso on land donated by Hudson River Savings Foundation.
“Gordie” has been synonymous with the history of Ichabod Crane; his coaching career in boys’ basketball and soccer is legendary. To acknowledge and show our appreciation for his contribution to our District, to commemorate the history of Ichabod Crane and look forward to its future, a dedication ceremony was held on Sat., Sept. 27, 2008 at 2 p.m. Many of Gordie’s friends, former students, athletes, fellow coaches, students, staff, and community members participated in this special occasion.More information and photos...
