Sad Day in Banditland

The Buffalo Bandits Hall of Fame lacrosse journalist, Tom Borrelli, passed away early this morning at Erie County Medical Centre. He was paralyzed from the neck down after falling down a dangerous set of stairs heading to the press box at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a high school football game. Borelli was the first sportswriter to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League's Hall of Fame and, as of 2005, has an award named after him, the Tom Borrelli Award, given to the NLL's writer of the year. Tom will be missed in Banditland and throughout the Buffalo area. He will never be forgotten though as his legacy and character will live forever.
