Mid-week roundup

Has Troy High's bowling team already peaked this season?

The Flying Horses dropped their second straight match, this one to Columbia, 30-2, on Tuesday. The schedule is a little more challenging next week, as Troy will have three matches in as many days. Their match vs. Guilderland was, in fact, postponed last month due to weather, and has been rescheduled for January 16.
============================================
Troy's women's basketball team may have taken Columbia too lightly Tuesday, and it cost them. Ryan Meikle's club dropped its 5th straight league game, 47-41. Alexis Van Vorst led all scorers with 20 points to lead the way for Columbia. Juliana Valenti led Troy with 13 points, while Alaina Holmes & Jenalyse Alarcon each had 10.

Meanwhile, the Troy boys continue to roll merrily along, as they beat Columbia, 73-64. Nazaire Merritt led Troy with 24 points, and Latyce Faison added 17. Dylan Ouimette had a game high 26 points for Columbia, while Cooper Zwanka added 20 in the losing effort.
===============================================
When LaSalle & Saratoga get together on the ice, you're assured of a low-scoring, defensive battle, and that's what happened Wednesday night, as the Blue Streaks needed overtime to beat the Cadets, 2-1. Jack O'Bryan had the lone goal for LaSalle. The two teams meet again Saturday night in Troy.

LaSalle's basketball team also went to overtime on the road, but the result was a happier one for Jon Desso's Cadets, as they beat in-city rival Catholic Central, 55-54. As of press time, this result had not been submitted to the Albany Times-Union's website.

The way local television frames Atlanta Hawks highlights around Shen alum Kevin Huerter, you'd think they'd be contending. Nope. The Hawks are likely a lottery team again at the end of the season. Huerter had 14 points and 10 rebounds for his first pro double-double, but it wasn't enough in a loss to Brooklyn.
