It’s a momentous fall sports season at Fayetteville-Manlius, with the debut of a new, privately-funded artificial turf field that football, soccer and field hockey teams will all use.
Also, the girls cross country team will seek its sixth consecutive national championship and the girls tennis team looks to extend its long win streak.
