News & notes

Troy High will limp into the postseason on a two game losing streak. Greg Davis' club fell to Averill Park, 58-51, spoiling Senior Night on Tuesday. We obtained the information from Averill Park's Twitter feed, as the game wasn't reported to media outlets otherwise.

Troy finishes the regular season 9-11 overall (7-7 Suburban Council), and will learn the sectional opponent later today, with the possibility that they could play the Warriors again. Averill Park coach Dave Pugilese, just like Columbia's Curt Sankey a couple of weeks ago, finally broke the drought vs. Troy, after going 0-4 in previous meetings since Troy entered the Suburban Council.
========================================
On the women's side, Saratoga completed a perfect regular season in the Suburban Council with a 45-42 win over Colonie. Senior star Catherine "Dolly" Cairns was held out for a second straight game, and Lauren Patnode led the way with 13 points. Since it's likely the Lady Streaks will get a first round bye in Class AA, coach Robin Chudy can give Cairns as much time to rest as possible.
=========================================
Moving to the ice, CBA moved into second place in the CDHSHL by beating Queensbury, 2-1, on Tuesday night. The win leaves the Brothers a half-point behind first place Bethlehem. However, CBA's regular season is over, while Bethlehem will close and potentially could clinch its 3rd straight Delvecchio Cup with a win over Albany Academy tonight. Saratoga, now in third, could muddy the waters a bit if they can beat Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake-Ballston Spa AND Academy upsets Bethlehem. If two points are on the line, a Saratoga win, coupled with a Bethlehem loss, would leave the Eagles & Spartan Scotties in a dead heat for first, with CBA falling to third.
