News & notes

 Hockey's Mayor's Cup is staying at Union College.

The Garnet Chargers swept the men's & women's games at MVP Arena Saturday, in the process winning the season series between the two schools.

The women's team defeated RPI, 4-3, in the opener. The men's game went to overtime before Union completed the sweep, 5-4. Union has now won 2 straight women's cup, and 5 straight on the men's side.

Similarly, UAlbany's basketball teams had their hands full with New Hampshire. The men went on the road, and dropped an 80-72 decision. Miles Rose led Albany with 20 points. Back at Broadview Center, the Lady Wildcats spoiled National Women & Girls in Sports Day with a 56-51 win over the skidding Lady Danes, who've dropped 5 in a row.

The Section 2 Skills Competition and a clinic on learning to be an official, both scheduled for Clifton Park Arena this afternoon, have been cancelled due to the weather. No make up date has been set as of press time.

Troy High sports review, through January 24

 We're in the homestretch of the winter season. One week remains for the men's swimming program, about three for basketball.

Swimming (w/CBA & Columbia):

Current record: 5-3.

The Flying Devil Brothers snapped a 3 meet losing streak in beating Ballston Spa on Tuesday.

Next: The season closes with a road trip to battle Burnt Hills-Scotia, then it's Senior Day Thursday vs. Guilderland.

Men's basketball:

Current record: 9-3 (6-1 Colonial Council):

Jamil Hood's squad was treated rudely by undefeated CBA on Wednesday, absorbing their worst loss of the year. Then, they beat Ichabod Crane.

Next: It's back on the road, this time at Berne-Knox-Westerlo, from the Western Athletic Conference, on Tuesday.

Women's basketball:

Current record: 12-2 (9-0 Colonial Council).

It may be bitter cold this weekend, but Troy's women are red hot on the court.

Will Harris' crew has run its winning streak to six with a blowout win over Hudson Falls earlier today, 72-32, this after beating Bethlehem & Ichabod Crane earlier in the week. Y'think they're ready for a 1st place showdown?

Next: Albany Academy comes to town on Friday with 1st place on the line. The Bears are the only team Troy hasn't collected a receipt from after losing last year. Only the cold weather could keep fans away from what will be the league's game of the year.

A word to the wise as it relates to the winter storm heading into the 518 on Sunday. Games scheduled for Monday will likely be postponed or cancelled, as the storm is supposed to arrive after Sunday's games have been played at last check. Tuesday's games may be affected as well. Check with your schools to see about Sunday-Tuesday games.

Small town Thursday night (Stillwater @ Greenwich, 1/22/26)

 With apologies to the estate of Greenwich native Hal Ketchum, it certainly would've felt just right if tonight's My4 Game of the Week was on a Saturday night. Ketchum, who passed away in 2020, recorded "Small Town Saturday Night" in 1991.

My4 is back in the Wasaren League tonight as the homestanding Witches, #1 in Class C in the state, took on league rival Stillwater, in a rematch from last month. This one was close all the way, matching the close quarters of one of the smallest gyms in Section 2:

So Greenwich falls from the ranks of the undefeated with the 43-41 loss, and likely will also lose its #1 state ranking in Class C.

Women:

Broadalbin-Perth 59, Hudson Falls 33.

Schenectady 51, Rensselaer-Loudonville Christian 43.
