What we neglected to mention in Friday's game summary of Troy High's win over LaSalle is that head coach Bob Burns now doubles as offensive coordinator. Mike Grasso left after last season to become the men's varsity basketball coach at Niskayuna, which will make things interesting when Troy & Nisky play this winter.
But of course, a certain newspaper will ignore the game, just like they ignored the Collar City Cup game. Again. Stay tuned.
=====================================
Due to the ongoing embargo against El Cheapo Media, sports editor Joe Boyle covered the Averill Park-Columbia game on Friday. At least the Blue Devils scored this time. 11 months after being shut out by the Warriors, Columbia actually put some points on the board, but Averill Park won again, 40-6. Troy will visit AP & Columbia in weeks 5-6.
=====================================
Lansingburgh has not solved its woes after going winless last year. The Knights traveled to the North Country Saturday, and were blown off the field by defending Class B champion Glens Falls, 67-6. Ouch! Noah Girard, cousin of Joseph Girard III, directed the offense, which scored 8 touchdowns in the first half alone against a still-undermanned 'Burgh defense.
Apparently, they still haven't reinstated the JV program, if not also the cheerleaders & band, at Lansingburgh. For coach Jeff Pasinella, the lean times will continue until those factors go back in the budget.
========================================
Troy High's women's soccer team is playing a Hall of Fame tournament in Niskayuna this weekend, and are off to a bad start, getting shut out by Holland-Patent, 4-0, Saturday morning, to fall to 1-2 overall (1-1 Suburban Council). They'll play Schoharie this afternoon before returning home to play Colonie Tuesday night.
