Meanwhile, the Northeast-10, which includes the College of St. Rose, has delayed the start of its fall season. I can hear the other shoe dropping any day now....
Update, 3:18 pm: That shoe has dropped as UAlbany becomes the 4th 518 college to cancel its fall schedule of sports, which, like the high schools, could be pushed back to spring. Also, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, home to Siena, has cancelled non-conference games in soccer & volleyball.

The New York State Public High School Athletic Association's task force met on Thursday, and it was decided that the fall sports season would be delayed until September 21 at the earliest. If it is determined that there won't be any sports in the remainder of 2020, then the winter season would start in January, and the "fall" season would be delayed to March, where it would run concurrent with a delayed spring season.
In addition, there will be no regional or state championships in soccer, football, and cross country track this fall.

For many of the schools in the 518, high schools & colleges both, Homecoming is going to be bittersweet this year.
On the other hand, none of this would be happening if certain people in Washington didn't misread the spread of the virus in the first place (and continue to do so).
==========================================
The thoroughbred racing season at Saratoga, which started yesterday, gives a home field advantage to one of the top trainers in the country.
Mechanicville product Chad Brown learned his trade as an assistant to Todd Pletcher before striking out on his own a few years back, and has reaped the benefits, having usurped Pletcher as the top trainer at the Spa the last couple of years.
Brown started this year's meet winning Thursday's co-feature, the Peter Pan Stakes, saddling Country Grammer. Going into today's card, Brown & Pletcher both trail Linda Rice, who saddled two winners on opening day.
