News & notes

 The Tri-City Valleycats will host Quebec Tuesday & Wednesday in the Frontier League's Eastern Conference finals at Bruno Stadium. Start time is 6:30 pm both nights.

After a travel day Thursday, the teams will cross into Canada Friday, with games Saturday & Sunday if needed in the best of 5 series. The winners will play the winner of the Midwest final between Schaumburg & Gateway.

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

UAlbany's football team might want to avoid Eugene O'Neil's Long Day's Journey Into Night for a bit.

The Great Danes had to wait out a 3 hour weather delay during Saturday's game at Delaware State, the 2nd interruption of the game, with lightning in the general area. The game resumed at 8:15 pm, and ended 17 minutes later, as Delaware State rallied to beat Albany, 37-32.

Delaware State marks the first head coaching job at any level for former NFL star DeSean Jackson, who spent his entire career in the NFC (Philadelphia, Washington). One gets the feeling he'll be with a bigger school soon enough.

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

Shaker grad Tommy Kahnle was tagged with the loss Sunday, as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers, 6-4. Kahnle gave up 2 runs on 3 hits and a walk in 2/3 of an inning without striking out a batter.

Troy High sports review, through September 6

 With 2 days of classes in the books, and the first full week to start tomorrow, let's take a look at Troy High's endeavors on the field & courts this past week.

Volleyball:

Current record: 2-0 (1-0 Colonial Council).

Talia Valenti's group is off to a fast start after beating Amsterdam (Foothills Council) & the Academy of Holy Names on back-to-back nights, losing just one set in the process.

Next: The Lady Horses hit the road, as they'll be at Schalmont on Tuesday, and Lansingburgh for the Knights' annual tournament on Saturday.

Women's soccer:

Current record: 1-1-1 (1-1 Colonial Council).

Year 2 for Jarret Farrell got off to a rocky start, getting drubbed by Schalmont, 11-0, before taking an overtime win over Holy Names. A non-league match vs. ancient rival Albany ended in a 2-2 draw.

Next: The Lady Horses are on the road this week, at Ravena Tuesday night, and Hoosic Valley (Wasaren League) on Friday.

Men's soccer:

Current record: 1-2 (0-1 Colonial Council).

Russ Hines' squad finally hit the winner's circle on Saturday with a 4-3 win over Schenectady after losing to Amsterdam & Schalmont to start the season.

Next: Troy hosts Ravena on Tuesday night, and Cohoes on Thursday night. Seems all home games at Troy will be at 7 pm going forward.

Golf:

Current record: Incomplete.

Until we get word on how Troy did vs. Ichabod Crane & Ravena August 21-22, that first line stays incomplete. Otherwise, Troy has dropped 3 in a row, losing to LaSalle on Wednesday, despite senior Joey Degnan winning medalist honors.

Next: Jack O'Keefe's club hosts Mohonasen on Monday, and will be the visitors vs. Lansingburgh Thursday.

Tennis:

Current record: Unknown.

This past week's matches vs. Voorheesville & Emma Willard have not been reported.

Next: It's a busy week for coach Trevor McCarthy. Troy hosts Albany Academy on Monday, then travels to Coxsackie-Athens (Patroon Conference) on Tuesday. After that, it's back home for Holy Names on Wednesday and Ravena on Thursday.

Football:

Current record: 0-1.

Jordan Canzeri's Flying Horses will be happy to be home this week after dropping the season opener to Horseheads on Friday, held to just 8 points. Troy hosts Mohonasen on Friday night.

Women's swimming:

No record yet.

Coach Emily Caboot is based at Averill Park, and the merged squad is now down to Troy & the Golden Knights, who open vs. Schenectady on Wednesday, and then travel to Bethlehem on Friday.

High School Fridays: Of Knights errant & bold (Lansingburgh @ Averill Park, 9/5/25)

 Spectrum News 1's High School Game of The Week (formerly Friday Night Matchup, that title hasn't been used in a few years) began the 2025 season tonight with a battle of Knights.

Averill Park, now in Class B in football, hosted Lansingburgh, but you have to wonder if, other than the BEDS system, there is a real reason why AP is in Class B in the first place.

The Golden Knights won the toss, and deferred to the 2nd half. They then proceeded to bully the Knights of North Troy virtually the entire night, forcing three turnovers.

After a scoreless first quarter, Philemon Noi, an emigre from Ghana who was recruited by coach Zach Gobel in gym class, ran it in from 3 yards out. Noi would also be tried out as a placekicker, and made 1 of 2 PAT attempts in the 2nd half. Later in the frame, Mason Phelps, Jacob's brother, wearing his big bro's #28, hauled in his first touchdown from 38 yards, but the extra point was not good, and AP went into the break with a 13-0 led.

Spectrum's graphics department was late to the party, as all that was missing was the usual scoreboard bug on the bottom of the screen, as the graphics otherwise began appearing at halftime.

In the 3rd quarter, Braeden Kilgallon (brother Blake was a quarterback last year), after having a TD run and a Pick 6 taken away by penalties, finally made one count, as he rambled 59 yards to paydirt. It was 20-0 at that point. Averill Park was driving again at the end of the frame, and, so, on the first play of the 4th quarter, QB Tyler Bradley kept it himself from a yard out. The PAT failed, so it was 26-0. On Lansingburgh's next possession, Griffin Baker got a Pick 6 from 58 yards. Noi added the extra point to make in 33-0.

With under 2 minutes to go, Averill Park poured salt on the wounds, as Eli Amadon, Jr. scored the final touchdown of the game. Noi missed the extra point, and, so, your final score is 39-0. In all, the Golden Knights had three touchdowns called back by penalties.

Next week: Averill Park will get a reality check as it faces Ravena. Lansingburgh will meet Green Tech. Spectrum's cameras will be in Niskayuna, as they'll host Shenendehowa.

News & notes

 Shaker grad Tommy Kahnle saw action for Detroit vs. the Mets the last two days.

Kahnle went 1/3 of an inning Tuesday, and retired the only batter he faced, but the Mets thumped Detroit, 12-5. On Wednesday, it was a different story. Kahnle went 1 1/3 innings, giving up 2 hits and 2 walks, as the AL Central leaders salvaged the final game of the series, 6-2.

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

The Tri-City Valleycats have drawn first blood in the Frontier League playoffs, beating Sussex County, 5-1, on Wednesday night. Connor Wilford went 7 strong innings to pick up the win, and Ian Walters homered. Today is a travel day, and the teams will play game 2 tomorrow night.

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

Spectrum News 1's Friday Night Matchup returns tomorrow with a Class B game between Amsterdam & Averill Park, as the Golden Knights have dropped down in class after winning the Class A title last year. The Golden Knights return 16 starters from 2024, and James Allen, who will call the game with Chris Watson, has them finishing first, per today's Albany Times-Union.
