Having learned a lesson from last week's double-dip at Hudson Valley Community College, Section II has rescheduled the Class B men's title game between Schalmont and Glens Falls as tonight's headliner at Cool Insuring Arena, and although Schalmont will be the home team, they're going to feel like visitors, with the majority of the crowd firmly behind the hometown hero, Joseph Girard III, and the Indians.
Last year's B champs, Mekeel Christian Academy, were eliminated in the A semis last night, falling to Troy High, 74-61. Latyce Faison & Nazaire Merritt (who else?) led Troy with 19 points apiece. Zaveon Little added 14, but was misidentified as newly graduated Hunter Redden. Little is wearing Redden's #33, the same number Little wore in JV play. Unfortunately, Little was listed as Redden in the box score and some media accounts of the game, and that, quite possibly, could spell trouble for Troy. Remember, Columbia was assessed a technical foul for administrative reasons last Saturday because one of their players had a different number on his uniform than listed on the roster.
Defending A champ Mohonasen's bid to repeat was foiled by Gloversville (Foothills Council), 50-41, so the Dragons will face Troy in the second game of Saturday's tripleheader at Cool Insuring Arena.
Leading off tonight's doubleheader in Glens Falls will be the Class D title game, as Oppenheim/Ephratah/St. Johnsville will face Germantown. OESJ ended North Warren's Cinderella run, 50-32, while Germantown beat Fort Ann, 44-31.
At HVCC, the Class AA women's semifinals, delayed from Wednesday, saw #3 Saratoga upset #2 Albany, 69-42. Top ranked Shenendehowa downed #4 Colonie, 62-50. Shen & Saratoga will meet for the 3rd time this season in the finale of Saturday's tripleheader at HVCC.
"High School Fridays" will be at HVCC tonight for the Class C & D title games.
