News & notes

 There won't be any "high risk" winter sports in junior colleges (i.e. Hudson Valley Community College) this year, as HVCC, Fulton-Montgomery Community College, and other junior colleges have cancelled high-risk sports for the winter, due, of course, to COVID-19.

That doesn't mean, of course, that the McDonough Sports Complex at HVCC will be completely dark, pending approval of high risk sports such as hockey and basketball, for high schools. LaSalle plays their home hockey games at Conway Arena inside the McDonough Complex, and, if you go by the school's Twitter page, they're chomping at the bit to get started with just practice.

All we can say now, of course, is to stay tuned.

518 Alumni Watch: Syracuse sophomore Joseph Girard III was held to just 3 points Tuesday in a 79-69 loss to undefeated Rutgers. Girard played all but 6 minutes for the Orange (3-1).

As noted yesterday over at The Land of Whatever, former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson earned $10 million for a recent exhibition vs. Roy Jones, Jr.. The total gate the night of the event was in the neighborhood of $80 million. The Catskill native has maintained that he wasn't interested in a full-on comeback. Next thing you know, he'll be like George Foreman, selling kitchen appliances....!
=====================================
Troy High's booster club is selling protective face masks for $8 a pop to benefit the football team as the Flying Horses prepare to begin a "Fall II" season in March. $8 is too much for one mask, even at most retailers. 

To better illustrate the point I'm making, I invested in a pack of 25 masks a while back at Walmart for $15. Maybe the booster club might want to reconsider the price tag, as the masks go on sale Saturday.
