News & notes

Troy High two-sport star Maddie Rifenerick has signed a National Letter of Intent to play softball at Columbia University beginning in 2021. Maddie was also an all-star goalkeeper at Troy in soccer, and was named to the Suburban Council All-Star Team 1st team this season. Congratulations!!
====================================
Meant to get this in yesterday's report. Shenendehowa alum Kevin Huerter scored 14 points in a losing effort as Atlanta fell to the Knicks on Tuesday. The game was shown on MSG for one of the few times local fans will see the Hawks this season.
======================================
Troy High's boys basketball team snapped a three game losing streak in beating Colonie, 54-49, last night. Marquis Hamby led Troy with 13 points. Colonie's Marcus Shelton matched Hamby with 13 of his own to lead the Garnet Raiders. The team concludes a four game road trip tomorrow, but as of press time, the game site remains a mystery. Still think it's Kingston.
======================================
In contrast, the Troy women saw their two game winning streak end at the hands of Colonie, 48-44. Scoring was so hard to come by that no one on either team reached double figures. Jenalyse Alarcon was held to just 6 points. Amalia Mulinio led Troy with 9 points, and Alaina Holmes & Nadia Brown added 8 apiece. Macie Trimarchi & Sareena DiCerbo led Colonie with 9 points each.

Both Troy teams are now 2-3 overall, and the women will have a week's rest before playing a tournament in Amsterdam next week.
=========================================
It's still the first month of the season, but we're noticing that a fair number of games have not been reported to all media outlets. Parents, you may need to help the coaches and athletic directors at your schools submit game results to the local papers and television stations. We'd like to post the current league standings for basketball, but so far, they're incomplete as of press time.
==========================================
Colonie also defeated Troy in bowling, 27-5, the Flying Horses' 2nd straight loss to even their record at 3-3.
