News & notes

Troy High's women's basketball game at Burnt Hills has been rescheduled for tomorrow at 5:30, 90 minutes earlier than it was originally scheduled had the game been played last night. That means Troy will play four games in the space of ten days:

Thursday: @ Burnt Hills.
Tuesday: Albany.
February 8: @ Bethlehem.
February 9: Kingston (home finale).

Factor in the regular season finale at Schenectady on February 12, and Troy could conceivably go into the sectionals with a respectable record.
=========================================
It doesn't appear as though yesterday's bowling match between Troy & Burnt Hills will be rescheduled, as nothing has been posted on Schedule Galaxy for either team as of press time. That means for Troy the season could end tomorrow at CBA, regardless.
==========================================
Seedings for the men's & women's basketball sectionals will be finalized on February 13, the day after the regular season is scheduled to end. Being in Class A affords Troy a better seeding than they were getting in Class AA the last two seasons. Stay tuned.
===========================================
They finally got the Mayor's Cup hockey games in at Times-Union Center Tuesday night, and RPI & Union split the double-header.

The Lady Engineers completed a season sweep of the Lady Dutchmen, 2-1. The men's game went to a shootout before Union finally won. However, unlike the NHL, the result goes into the record books as a scoreless tie. Now, try figuring that one out. Union retains the men's cup for a 3rd year, while RPI holds on to the women's cup for a 2nd year.
============================================
If WNYT sports anchor Rodger Wyland is to be believed, we could see former Shenendehowa pitcher Ian Anderson in Atlanta during the coming baseball season. Anderson has been named one of the top 100 prospects by Baseball America. I'll be most interested if Anderson gets called up to pitch against the Mets, for example.
=============================================
Schedule Galaxy has posted Troy High's lacrosse schedule, along with the rest of the spring sports calendar. The Flying Horses will have a pair of Saturday matinees at Picken Field, both in April, one of them being a non-league tilt vs. Queensbury on the 6th, while Shen comes in a week later. The only other matinees on the schedule come when schools are on Easter break the week of April 22.

Interestingly, Troy baseball (and probably softball, too) have home & home games this season scheduled against Burnt Hills, Averill Park, & Ballston Spa. As of now, no non-league games are on the docket for Chris Strack's club, but there's still 2 months and change before the season begins.
