News & notes

Winter sports season has begun in Section II, even though football doesn't wrap up until Sunday.

Troy High opened the bowling season Tuesday with the first of a three match homestand at Uncle Sam Lanes, and, for the second straight season, Troy opens with a win, putting down Bethlehem, 21 1/2-10 1/2. The Flying Horses are idle until December 3.
=============================
Turning to basketball, LaSalle & Saratoga renewed acquaintances on Tuesday to open the season for both clubs. Aiden Holmes led the Blue Streaks with 24 points. LaSalle's Bo Catherwood matched Holmes with 24 of his own, but it wasn't enough, as Saratoga came away with a 63-55 victory. LaSalle is also idle until next week.
===============================
Congratulations to UAlbany football coach Greg Gattuso, named Coach of The Year by the Colonial Athletic Alliance on Tuesday. QB Jeff Undercuffler was named CAA Offensive Rookie of The Year, also on Tuesday.

The Great Danes will play Central Connecticut State, coached by former UAlbany assistant Ryan McCarthy, on Saturday.
================================
The Foothills Council will have one fewer team in women's varsity basketball this season.

Gloversville announced on Tuesday that they simply don't have enough varsity-ready players for the women's team, but will still field a junior varsity team, along with 2 modified squads (Grades 7-9). The Lady Dragons also had similar issues from 2012-14 before returning to league play in 2014.
