News & notes

Lansingburgh's football struggles continued last night on the road, but it wasn't quite so bad this time, as the Knights fell to Mechanicville, 17-7. The Knights return home next Friday to host Schuylerville, but, as we've noted, until the school district finds it within itself to reinstate the JV program, along with the band & cheerleaders, 'Burgh football remains in rather rough shape.
==================================
RPI is honoring recently retired baseball coach Karl Steffen by naming their baseball stadium after him. Beginning with the 2020 season, the venue will now be Robison Field at Karl Steffen Ballpark. Steffen retired after 34 years as head coach of the baseball Engineers, but his accomplishments won't soon be forgotten.
==================================
It's also Homecoming for RPI football this week, as they'll host little known Anna Maria College today at East Campus Village Stadium. After what went down a few clicks down the road at Troy High last night, you have to believe police will be on high alert at RPI today. If you're bored by the major college action on the tube, this game will be on RPI's YouTube channel.
==================================
Averill Park remains atop the Class A Capital division standings after beating LaSalle, 35-13, last night at Sutton Field. The Warriors will return home to play Troy next week, as noted last night, with first place on the line. Last year, the Warriors came to Picken Field with the division on the line, and saw their undefeated season end, so they'll have revenge on their minds.

Meanwhile, Queensbury leads the Grasso division, but Ballston Spa has jumped into a second place tie with Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake after upsetting Matt Shell's club, 9-7.
==================================
CBA, perhaps still sky high after beating Troy last week, fell to Bethlehem last night. Parity, folks. You've gotta love it.
