You might have noticed after we posted Troy High's soccer schedule that it doesn't include Ballston Spa.
That's because the school is moving moderate risk sports, such as soccer, to the "Fall II" schedule in March. They're not alone.
On Wednesday, the Foothills Council voted to move moderate risk sports such as women's swimming & diving, soccer, & field hockey to "Fall II" as well. The Adirondack Conference will sit out the fall season entirely, erring on the side of caution due to the ongoing pandemic.
===============================
There will be college basketball in the 518 this winter. The question, of course, is whether or not fans will attend. As has been demonstrated with college football to this point, limited fan admission with social distancing is possible.
The NCAA has ruled that the basketball season would start the week of Thanksgiving (November 25-30), which gives teams enough room where they can plan on the usual league & NCAA tournaments in March. Stay tuned.
=================================
Mekeel Christian women's basketball star Avery Mills is the latest Section II player to seek her fortunes elsewhere before finishing high school, opting to take the prep school route in North Carolina, according to reports. Best wishes for continued success, and we hope to see her playing in Division I in 2021.
=================================
Back to the Foothills Council for a moment. The league has indicated that fans will not be admitted for low-risk sports events in order to block the spread of COVID-19. As far as ye scribe knows, they're the only league to publicly make that declaration. We recommend contacting your school to see if they'll be admitting fans, even in a limited capacity, for games when play starts in a week's time. If fans can't attend, now would be a good time for schools to look into live streaming.....
