Troy High has not won a men's soccer match in 2 years, and they're a game away from their 2nd straight winless season under Mike Murnane.
Mercifully, the season ends Saturday at Colonie, as the Flying Horses are safe in knowing they won't be a part of the Suburban Council tournament that starts November 17. The top 8 teams qualify, and Troy is in the cellar, now 0-10-1 after being shut out yet again, 5-0, by Christian Brothers Academy on Senior Night last night.
Just to show how bad things have been, Troy has been outscored 54-3 in 11 games this season. That ratios out to a goal differential of 18:1.
OUCH!!
The Troy women, at 1-9-1 heading into tonight's game vs. Schenectady, have scored more goals than their male counterparts. That tells me their coaches are getting more out of the ladies, even though there've been a couple of blowout losses mixed in. Head coach Justin Haviland does have that Master Teacher certification he received from Governor Cuomo three years ago to hang his hat on to prove he is a motivating force. Murnane, eight years removed from a sectional title, just doesn't have the talent on the pitch at the moment that he actually needs to compete.
Look at it this way. There's always next year.
