 Ballston Spa grad Ana Gold, after her 1st season in the AUSL, will play for the USA Softball Women's National team at year's end.

Gold and Team USA will head Down Under to Australia for a tournament starting New Year's Eve in Brisbane. Now, all we need to know is if there's a chance to see these games on TV or streaming.

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

The two time Arena League champions, the Minnesota Monsters (formerly the Duluth Harbor Monsters) will join AF1 in 2026. The Arena League had a 6-on-6 format, as opposed to other indoor leagues, so, for the Monsters, it's a challenge to upgrade their performance against AF1's best.

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

Turns out Scotia and Cohoes weren't the only ones to move their football game to Thursday this week.

Hoosick Falls-Tamarac and Watervliet-Heatly did the same, with Hoosick Falls-Tamarac posting a 31-0 shutout.
