POTSDAM CENTRAL SCHOOL ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME POSTPONING CLASS OF 2020 INDUCTION

The Potsdam Central School Athletic Hall of Fame is announcing that they will not be holding an induction ceremony for the Class of 2020 in September as originally planned.  With COVID-19 still posing a health threat, the committee felt that it would be in everyone’s best interest to postpone the induction to the Fall of 2021.  There are too many variables…will there be sports? will spectators be allowed? can all inductees travel safely? and too much uncertainty…will school even be in session? We certainly want our inductees and their families to have a positive and safe experience. So, watch for details in 2021!  You can contact the committee through email at potsdamhof@gmail.com or on our Facebook page.

• ImPACT Concussion Testing -ImPACT 2005 is a user-friendly, Windows-based computer program that can be administered by a team coach, athletic trainer or physician with minimal training. Reaction time is reliably measured to one hundredth of a second across individual test modules (10 modules total) and allows for an assessment of processing speed as the player fatigues. The test battery consists of a near infinite number of alternate forms by randomly varying the stimulus array for each administration. This feature was built in to the program to minimize the "practice effects" that have limited the usefulness of more traditional neurocognitive tests. ImPACT takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. The program measures multiple aspects of cognitive functioning in athletes.
