St. Peter's couldn't stop Siena sophomore Jordan King. The CBA graduate topped 20 points for the 3rd straight game, with 21, but it wasn't quite enough. The Peacocks, the last team to beat the Saints before Siena went on a 16 game winning streak, ended said streak Friday night, 68-62. Manny Camper added 18 points. Jalen Pickett, in his first game back, had 8.
The game aired on ESPNU (Spectrum channel 370), but when the game started at 7 pm, viewers were rerouted to ESPNews (Spectrum channel 302), as coverage of a Big 10 gymnastics meet between Michigan & Minnesota ran late. ESPNU picked up the game around 7:05.
Tonight's game will be seen locally on WNYA (Spectrum channel 1215), also at 7.
=================================
UAlbany alumnus Eli Mencer will play his pro football in, like, Canada, eh?
Mencer signed a free agent contract with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. Mencer joins former Albany Empire star Malachi Jones, who signed with Montreal last year when things didn't work out for him in the short-lived XFL.
==================================
Finally, some good news for Section II athletes.
Pending authorization from county health departments, high risk sports (wrestling, hockey, basketball, competitive cheerleading) will begin the week of February 1. The state has given the green light, but with the caveat that each county (i.e. Albany, Rensselaer, Columbia, Schenectady, Saratoga) has to give their approval.
Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin, interviewed by WNYT last night, has indicated that the county health department will give the green light, which would make student-athletes at Emma Willard, Troy, LaSalle, Catholic Central, & Lansingburgh very happy.
Stay tuned.
