News & notes

 AF1 will have a new look in 2026.

Two of the teams, the Salina Liberty & Southwest Kansas Storm, are moving to the National Arena League for next season. The league, which expelled the Albany Empire during the disaster that was the 2023 season when Antonio Brown was in town, is based largely in the Midwest, and more of a fit for Salina & Southwest Kansas.

Meanwhile, former Albany Firebird Darius Prince has signed with the expansion Kentucky Barrels that will play next year, along with the NAL champs, the Beaumont Renegades.

===================================================

You've noticed that Canajoharie & Fort Plain have merged for a number of sports.

Now, the Albany Times-Union is reporting that the two districts could take the next step, and merge outright, due to declining attendance at both high schools.

Stay tuned.

====================================================

UAlbany placed 12th at the Nittany Lions' women's golf invitational at Penn State. The host school won the tournament, which attracted teams from both major conferences (i.e. Big 10, Ivy League) and mid-majors (i.e. America East).
