News & notes

Bethlehem has clinched the Capital District High School Hockey League regular season title for the 2nd straight year. The Eagles have just two games remaining, and lead Albany Academy by three points headed into the final full week of play. Bethlehem defeated Academy, 7-2, on Friday, but the Cadets came right back and beat Burnt Hills-Ballston Spa, 4-2, on Saturday. Academy's next league game is at LaSalle next Saturday. Before that, however, they have a pair of non-league games, and by the time the puck drops at Hudson Valley Community College, the Eagles will have completed their schedule.
=======================================
On August 31, Schalmont upset Troy High in football, 14-6. Shane O'Dell & LJ Randle were two big reasons why the Sabres had such a good year on the gridiron, at least until the team was derailed pro tempore by Coxsackie virus.

O'Dell & Randle are also starters for Schalmont's basketball team, the leaders in the Colonial Council's Patriot Division. Troy QB Alex Wolfe and RB/DB Makai Cruel come off the bench for the Flying Horses in basketball. These four young men met again Saturday night as Schalmont met Troy in the Sunmark Shootout at Cool Insuring Arena in Glens Falls. O'Dell led all scorers with 36 points, and Randle added 19. For Troy, Latyce Faison followed his 28 point game vs. CBA on Friday with a season high 30, and Nazaire Merritt added 28, but it wasn't enough, as Schalmont prevailed again, 78-76, snapping Troy's nine game winning streak. Troy (14-3 overall, 13-0 Suburban Council) finishes its current road trip in Albany on Tuesday before coming home for a clash with unbeaten Bethlehem. Schalmont will visit Lansingburgh on Tuesday.
======================================
College beat: After dropping a heartbreaker to Union in a shootout for the Mayor's Cup, RPI bounced back and beat Colgate, 3-1, on Friday, before skating to a 1-1 overtime draw with Cornell on Saturday night. RPI goaltender Owen Savory had 40 saves against the Big Red. Union, by the way, beat Colgate on Saturday.
