Troy High sports update, 12/10

I stand corrected on the Troy High bowling team.

While the result was never reported to the press, the Flying Horses upset Shenendehowa last Thursday, and Troy continued its hot start by beating CBA, 25-6, on Tuesday at Towne Bowling Academy. Olivia DeCitise led Troy with a 632 triple, and a high game of 252. Troy continues its road trip at Boulevard Bowl to play Schenectady tomorrow, then has a week's rest before contending against Colonie at Spare Time-Latham (formerly Latham Bowl) on December 19, their last match before the Christmas break. Troy is now 3-1 on the young season.
====================================
On the other hand, the school's basketball teams aren't so hot.

The Troy boys dropped their second in a row, 57-47, to Guilderland on Tuesday. Jadon Cummings led the team with 13 points in a losing effort, as the Dutchmen avenged a loss last year at Zotto Gym. The two teams will meet in Troy on January 7. Billy Lia left the showroom at one of his auto dealerships long enough to score 21 points, while Ryan Teaney added 19 to lead the Dutchmen.

Meanwhile, the women's team picked up its first win of the season, knocking off the Lady Dutch for the first time since entering the Suburban Council, 68-54. Jenalyse Alarcon led all scorers with 30 points, and Nadia Brown added 11 for the winners. Valencia Fontenelle-Posson led Guilderland with 28 points. The rematch will be in Guilderland on January 7.

Both basketball teams are 1-2 heading into play against Schenectady on Friday (women at home, men on the road). In a scheduling quirk, both games will start at 6 pm, approximately.
