News & notes

After the NFL was forced to postpone Sunday's Patriots-Chiefs game due to positive COVID-19 tests to a Chiefs backup quarterback, and starting New England QB Cam Newton, local fans will get to see the Buffalo Bills-Las Vegas Raiders game after all. Kickoff on WRGB is approximately 4:25 pm.
====================================
Speaking of COVID-19, it's made its way to Section II, as today's Suburban Council opener between Guilderland & Shenendehowa on the men's side was postponed. No makeup date has yet been set. The women's match went on as scheduled.
=====================================
New year, same results for Troy High. The school's soccer squads got off to identical 0-1 starts after shutout losses to Niskayuna today.

The women's home opener was spoiled by the Silver Warriors, 7-0. The Troy men opened at Nisky, losing, 8-0. Up next for Troy is Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake on Tuesday. The men will have their home opener at 6:15 pm, while the women will be on the road with a 7 pm start.
======================================
According to a headline in the Albany Times-Union, the Tri-City Valleycats' affiliation with the Houston Astros could be soon coming to an end. The 'Cats' contract expires at the end of the 2020 baseball season, and the team could be either unaffiliated or hooking up with another organization next year. I'm reading that the American Association, which was formerly affiliated with Major League Baseball years ago, could be a landing spot for an unaffiliated Valleycats franchise with the demise of the New York-Penn League. Other leagues, such as the Frontier League, have also been mentioned. Stay tuned.
