UAlbany offensive lineman and Saratoga graduate Griffin Clancy will start his pro career by staying in the 518.
Clancy signed last week with the Albany Empire as they begin to build their roster for 2021 and the National Arena League. Let's hope they can find some more local talent, which would certainly help attendance at Times-Union Center.
=====================================
This should come as no surprise, but the PWBA's tour stop in South Glens Falls in June will have a local flava.
Rotterdam native Liz Kuhlkin, a 2 time winner on tour, is already making plans for a homecoming trip June 3-5, per the Albany Times-Union. If that doesn't get any of the local stations interested in covering the tournament, what will?
=======================================
Albany Academy graduate Dion Lewis was one of the offensive stars for the Giants in a 25-23 loss to Tampa Bay on Monday.
Lewis caught a 7 yard TD pass from Daniel Jones, and returned 3 kickoffs for 98 yards. With Davonta Freeman out with an ankle injury, Big Blue activated veteran Alfred Morris off the practice squad to take his place, splitting time in the backfield with Wayne Gallman. Coach Joe Judge would rather use Lewis as a receiver out of the backfield in specific situations than let him start. Morris has played with Dallas & Washington in the course of his NFL career before signing with the Giants this year.
You'd think that Judge, who was a special teams coach under Bill Belichick in New England, while Lewis and Tampa Bay QB Tom Brady were there, would know enough to better utilize Lewis, and to come up with a full-game defensive strategy against Brady. Ex-Giant Jason Pierre-Paul, playing his first game at the Meadowlands since leaving for Tampa a couple of years ago, had a couple of sacks.
===================================
Maple Hill completed a sweep of the Patroon Conference soccer titles, as the women knocked off Greenville Monday. The league had a shorter season than other leagues that were willing to play this fall. The Suburban Council, for example, still has two weeks of play left. Go figure.
