News & notes

The waiting is almost over in Section II.

On Monday, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that some low-risk sports, such as golf, swimming, cross country track, soccer, & tennis, would begin practice on September 21, with games to follow soon after.

Football & volleyball would also begin practice that same date, but because they're considered high-risk sports, a start to the season will be determined at a later date. Regional & state championships for fall sports were already cancelled as a precaution, so there will certainly be shorter seasons.

A winter sport such as hockey is also considered high risk, so there's a question of whether or not they'll be able to start on time.

Stay tuned
=====================================
Shenendehowa graduate Ian Anderson could possibly make his major league debut tonight for Atlanta. That's the good news. The bad news? They're hosting the Yankees, who are a bit cranky after getting swept by Tampa Bay last week before the Subway Series vs. the Mets was postponed due to a pair of COVID-19 cases among the Mets.

I can imagine more people than usual will tune to the Yes network (Spectrum digital channel 321) for the game, just to see Anderson.

Look at it this way. It's a good alternative to the Republican Genuflection Party......
