Thursday, June 11, 2026: ESPN Ithaca's Community Gamechangers recognizes individuals throughout the Finger Lakes who have made an impact in our sports community.

For students at Newfield, Brandon Steinorth is much more than a basketball coach or teacher. He's someone who creates an environment where students feel valued, engaged, and excited to be part of their school community.

His impact extends far beyond the classroom and basketball court. Brandon helps with fundraising events, school activities, halftime entertainment, and Newfield Now, the student-run news program that gives students opportunities to build confidence and develop real-world skills. Whether he's teaching, coaching, mentoring, or volunteering, Brandon is committed to making students feel supported and connected.

As his nomination says: "He makes people feel valued. He makes students want to show up. He makes the community better."
