WEBUTUCK — Though they were ultimately defeated at the hands of their opponents, the Lady Warriors soccer team was commended for its hard work on the field during its away game against Ellenville on Thursday, April 1.

The game kicked off on the soccer fields at Ellenville High School at 11 a.m. Throughout the game’s duration, Webutuck played hard against Ellenville, coming close to gaining the upper hand for a while before losing 6-1.

In the late ‘90s, Dale Webb was working in engineering and product design at a corporate job. “I took up instrument manufacturing as a fun challenge,” said Dale. After an exhibit at The National Association of Music Merchants in Anaheim, California, in 1999, The Magic Fluke company was born. “We were casting finger boards and gluing these things together in our basement in New Hartford and it just took off,” Dale explained. “It was really a wild ride, it kind of had a life of its own.”
