Family matters
CORTLAND - When Bridget Marquardt decided she wanted to bring Stephanie Rice on to her squad, it turned out that the eighth-grader wasn't the only member of the Rice family she wanted to recruit.
Stephanie's dad, Steve, had just retired from coaching the Jordan-Elbridge boys team, a program he founded in the early 1970s. At first, Steve Rice was going to help out now and then. Five years later he is the Lakers' assistant coach and has shared two Class C state championships and another trip to the title game with his daughter.
“I asked him and his response was he'll come help out when he can, but he ended up being here every day and being as dedicated as everybody,” Marquardt said.
