News & notes

It's not a misprint this time.

Last year, an editing error on the Albany Times-Union website led folks to think Lansingburgh had won a game over Colonial Council newcomer Mohonasen, a Class A school, but the result was posted backward. Mohon won that game, and 'Burgh ended the season 0-8.

Not this time.

Lansingburgh ended the season on a winning note Friday, blowing out another Colonial Council foe, Ichabod Crane, 48-6, to go 1-7 on the season. Maybe there is hope on the north side still.
===================================
Following are the updated Class AA standings after play last night:

Conference: Class AA

Niskayuna0700.0000700.000

Niskayuna closes their season today at Albany, so one of those teams will salvage their season.

The story, though, is the knot among Guilderland, Bethlehem, CBA, & Schenectady. All four teams have the same identical overall records. The difference that enables Guilderland to claim the #3 seed and a rematch with Shenendehowa is that they, unlike their brethren in the conference, didn't play a non-league game. As it is, they own the tie-breaker over Bethlehem. Likewise, Bethlehem gets the nod over CBA, and will get a rematch with Shaker next Friday.

This four way knot for 3rd overall results from Guilderland losing their finale to CBA, and Schenectady beating Bethlehem, 36-29. 

Figuring who goes to the Class AA Super Bowl in 2 weeks isn't that hard. Everyone assumes Shaker & Shen, who met earlier this season, will have their rematch, and if the rumors are true, it'll be on a field where neither has had any success lately, that being Picken Field at Troy High. 
=======================================
Speaking of Troy, former stars Dev Holmes & Joe Casale were in the house for Troy's 48-13 pasting of Scotia last night. UAlbany has the week off, but no one is sure of what Holmes' next move is after leaving the Great Danes earlier this season.
