News & notes

The United States Bowling Congress (USBC) will have some representation from the 518 for the next three years.

Liz Kuhlkin, from Schenectady, was elected to a 3 year term on the board earlier this week. Kuhlikn has been active on the womens' tour since it was relaunched, and one would think her presence on the board would create an opportunity for some future tournaments to be held in the 518. Stay tuned.
======================================
Now, let's follow up on a couple of recent stories.

UAlbany lacrosse fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

Mens' varsity coach Scott Marr is staying with the Great Danes, turning down an offer from national rival Johns Hopkins to be their head coach. The Albany Times-Union and Daily Gazette broke the story earlier this week. El Cheapo Media? Fuhgeddaboutit!

This, actually, is nothing new at UAlbany, as mens' basketball coach Will Brown has turned down offers to go elsewhere the last few years as well.
======================================
Across the river at Troy High, Athletic Director Paul Reinisch made it official on Wednesday. Richard Hurley, after a 3 year sabbatical from coaching, during which time he was an assistant to principal Joseph Mariano, Jr., will return to the bench to coach the mens' varsity this winter, according to the Gazette. Greg Davis, who succeeded Hurley in 2017, and won a Suburban Council Gray division title and a Section II Class A crown in 2019, was notified a couple of weeks back that he would not be back as head coach next season after a 4th place finish in the Gray division this past season, the worst finish Troy has had since entering the Suburban Council in 2015.

Troy will return a solid core of players for 2020-21, and likely will contend for the Gray division title.
