News & notes

With regard to a major winter snowstorm due to hit New York on Saturday night, Troy High & Kingston have agreed to move their boys' basketball game up a day. Originally scheduled for a 3 pm tip on Sunday, the game now will be played on Saturday, but as of now, the game time has not been set per Troy High's Twitter account, accessible on the school webpage.

This means Troy now will play games on back-to-back days for the 2nd time this season, the last being last month's Gilooly Memorial tournament at Catholic Central.

Meanwhile, Kingston's road game at Schenectady, which was to take place last night, has not been reported to any media outlets as of press time.
=====================================
It's starting to feel like 2015 again for LaSalle's hockey team.

Tim Flanigan's skating Cadets dropped their third in a row, and fifth in their last six, counting the Mohawks tournament, absorbing a 5-0 shutout at Shenendehowa last night. The Plainsmen completed the regular season sweep, having won last month at Hudson Valley Community College. Weather permitting, the Cadets will be back home Saturday night to entertain the Capital District Jets.
======================================
It looks as though Saratoga will not repeat as Suburban Council Blue division champions in boys' basketball this season. The Blue Streaks fell to Bethlehem Tuesday night to fall from the ranks of the unbeaten, leaving the Eagles as the only undefeated team left in the league. The momentum must've carried over to the ice, as Bethlehem beat Saratoga in hockey last night, too.

Anyway, Saratoga's men's hoops team will play Schenectady Friday night, then host Troy a week later.
=========================================
Troy's bowling team has hit the skids. The Flying Horses have dropped five straight matches, the latest to Guilderland yesterday in a makeup date from last month. Today, Troy hosts Niskayuna at Uncle Sam Lanes.
