News & notes

With rain in the forecast all day today, the opening doubleheader in the Friday Night Lights Coaches vs. Cancer series has been postponed to tomorrow. However, rain is in the forecast all weekend, so it's a question of whether or not they'll try to play between the raindrops tomorrow afternoon. Stay tuned.
==============================================
Before Troy High entered the Suburban Council in 2015, they'd developed a pretty good rivalry in football with Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake. However, it seems the only sport the Spartans can't beat the Flying Horses in is basketball.

After the Spartans pummeled Troy, 22-2, in lacrosse on Tuesday, the two schools met in softball & baseball on Thursday afternoon, and swept the varsity & junior varsity games. In softball, Troy saw its two game winning streak end in a 2-1 loss after beating Lansingburgh, 5-3, in a non-league game on Wednesday. The Troy baseball club put up a fight before falling, 5-4.

By the way, the box score for the softball game tells us that Troy is now 3-4 in the Suburban Council, 5-4 overall, so it looks like they will advance to sectional play if they can win at least one more game.
================================================
While Joe Bruno Stadium won't be hosting state baseball tournament play in June, teams from each of the classifications (AA-D) will take part in all-star games being sponsored by Built2Win & the Tri-City Valleycats on June 8. Exactly what times the games will be played will be announced at a later date. Bruno Stadium will also host sectional championship games in late May, as per usual.
=================================================
With Friday Night Lights pushed back a day, check with your schools to see if your teams will try to play today.

This much we know: Schuylerville @ Lansingburgh and Mohonasen @ Troy have both been rained out, per the Colonial Council web pages for their member schools. However, Schedule Galaxy has yet to acknowledge the postponement on Troy's page.
