News & notes

Siena College has gotten the green light to prepare for their 2020 fall sports season, per the Albany Times-Union. Now, the question is whether or not the area's other colleges (UAlbany, Union, RPI, etc.) will similarly be ok'd to begin practice for the fall season.
=============================
There may be hope for baseball in the 518 this year after all.

The Saratogian and The Record, in their Sunday editions, reported that Saratoga-Wilton Youth Baseball plans on beginning a short season as soon as they get the go-ahead from the governor's office. Spring Youth Baseball, in Troy, erring on the side of caution, is waiting until September at the earliest to begin their fall schedule.

The downside to Spring's plan, however, is that youth baseball in general doesn't get the same kind of press coverage it used to back in the day, and the local press is more interested in football & soccer during the fall season. Also, some parents might also be parents of Troy High or LaSalle athletes, creating a conflict of interest if high school sports begins as scheduled in September.

Stay tuned.
