News & notes

 Not a good day for Troy High on the lanes or in the pool on Thursday.

Troy's co-ed bowling team dropped a 5-0 decision to Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake, dropping the Flying Horses to 1-4 (or is that 1-5?) on the season. Thursday's result was obtained through the Spartans' Twitter page, since the result was not reported to the press in time for this morning's editions.

Meanwhile, Troy/CBA also fell to 1-4 after losing to Albany, 52-42. The Flying Brothers close the regular season with a home & home series with the Spartans, February 2 & 16, and a home meet vs. Guilderville on February 9.
==================================
To follow up on yesterday's news, the Albany Times-Union reports today that out of the 12 counties that host Section II member schools, Rensselaer County is the only one launching high risk sports come Monday without restrictions. The holdouts, including Albany, Warren, Greene, Columbia, and Schenectady counties, are waiting for rolling positivity rates for coronavirus to drop below 4% before allowing play to begin.

As noted yesterday, Glens Falls has shut down their winter sports program altogether, erring on the side of caution.

Update, 4:13 pm: From WTEN comes an announcement from Montgomery County:


Also, Saratoga County is following the same guidelines.

The natives (athletes), though, are getting restless.......!
====================================
UAlbany's men's basketball team is back on pause due to another positive COVID-19 test, and games scheduled this weekend & next have been postponed.

The Siena women have had their February 3 game vs. Niagara postponed for the same reason.
======================================
On Thursday, the Tri-City Valleycats hired former major leaguer Pete Incaviglia as their new manager. Incaviglia played 12 seasons in the majors with Texas and Philadelphia, and has 35 total years experience in the game.
