Meanwhile, defending champion Bethlehem saw its Section 2 winning streak end with a loss to Shenendehowa. Sounds to me like coach Juan de la Rocha's Plainsmen are ready to take back the league title after being out of the title hunt the last few years.

Why is CBA in the Blue division after winning the Gray division last season? Only league officials know, and they're not sharing. They want the Blue division to be the stronger half of the league, and they think this makes up for Mohonasen leaving for the Colonial Council. The biggest surprise to this point seems to be Columbia, as Curtis Sankey's Blue Devils sit a 1/2 game in front of Troy, The two teams meet in East Greenbush on January 8, with Columbia looking to snap a 3-game losing streak to the Flying Horses, for whom Sankey starred in the late 70's and early 80's.
We knew Colonie was in a rebuilding phase in football, but boys' hoops, too? You have to believe Troy coach Greg Davis will keep his team from salivating for revenge when the two teams meet on Thursday. Troy would like to go to the Crusader Roundball Classic at Catholic Central in two weeks still undefeated, as they've owned Shaker in recent years, but in this league, you can't look too far ahead.......
