Troy High news & notes

Soccer sectionals take place this week, and for Troy High, there is the prospect that one or both of their squads could go one-&-done.

The women are off until Friday, when they go on the road to play Queensbury. Justin Haviland's club finished the regular season having lost 8 of their last 9, the lone win a non-league victory over Hoosic Valley in that stretch. Their record stands at 1-13 in the Suburban Council, 2-15 overall. Despite the losing record, as noted yesterday, senior stars Abby Burns & Maddie Rifenberick were named first team league all-stars.

The men, meanwhile, will have a rematch of their season opener vs. Hudson Falls tomorrow night at Picken Field. The Flying Horses beat Hudson Falls back in August to start the season, and finished the regular season 2-11-2 in the league, 3-12-2 overall.
=========================================
Troy will host an exhibition basketball game featuring the Harlem Rockets, a comedy hoops team in the mold of the better known Harlem Globetrotters, taking on a team comprised of faculty and students. The charity game takes place October 30 at Zotto Gym. Tickets are $5, and will be available at the door.
=========================================
Troy's women's swim team will wrap their season tomorrow, hoping to avoid another winless campaign. The swimmers are 0-8 headed into the pool on Wednesday. Golf & women's tennis seasons are over, with swimming and soccer soon to follow. Troy, of course, is hoping their football team can play deep into November again.
