News & notes

Stillwater's dream season came to a crashing end Friday night at Mohonasen, as the Warriors fell, 10-2, to Governeur. Only a fourth quarter safety prevented Stillwater from being shut out. A disappointing finish for seniors Mason Seymour and James Galarneau, to be sure, but for the juniors who will be seniors next year, there is a building block to repeat as Section II Class C champions.
===============================================
At Shaker High in Latham, Shenendehowa used a steady diet of running back Billy Beach (5 touchdowns in the first half) against an overmatched Pine Bush defense, and advanced to the Class AA semifinals in convincing fashion, 41-7.

Shen will await the winner of today's game between New Rochelle and Proctor, and will play next Saturday at Middletown.
===============================================
Class B champion Schuylerville put down Potsdam, 28-8, at Ogdensburg, to advance to the semi-finals. If there is an x factor in the Black Horses' favor, it'd be former Troy coach Jack Burger, who won two state titles with the Flying Horses in 1996 & 1998, and took Troy to the Carrier Dome on multiple occasions otherwise before stepping down after the 2013 season.
================================================
WWE Executive VP Paul "Triple H" LeVesque appeared on WNYT 10 days ago to talk up NXT and it's connections to the 518. Yes, I said connections. Turns out Albany native Bobby Fish isn't the only one with ties to the home district:

Matt Riddle, originally from Allentown, Pa., relocated to Saratoga as a youth, and, as noted in the video, graduated from Saratoga in 2004. You better believe he's making the Blue Streaks' wrestling team very proud on Wednesday nights.

Edit, 7/18/23: The video was deleted by WNYT. In its place above is the NXT logo.
====================================
I've only got one word to describe the crowd size at Houston Field House Friday night for RPI's women's hockey game vs. Quinnipiac.

Depressing.

The men's ECAC team isn't exactly selling out the Field House, either, but they're a big draw, depending on the opponent. The ACHA men's team and the women's team don't get the press they deserve, as we've noted, and that's just wrong.

Speaking of the men's ECAC team, they played to a 2-2 tie at Princeton, and will play Quinnipiac tonight.
