Traditionally, the Spartans of Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake have been a basketball patsy for Troy High since the Flying Horses entered the Suburban Council in 2015. For the boys, tonight was no different.
Like some other schools in Section II, the Spartans are not using their PA system, so we'll have the final stats within 24 hours. What we can tell you is just how bad the Spartans are this season.
Apparently, it's school policy at Burnt Hills not to make their videos publicly available outside of YouTube. Coach Richard Hurley began lifting his starters early in the 4th quarter with the game well in hand. This was the fourth game in a week for Troy, with four more in the next week.
Troy also won the JV boys game in a rout, 60-39.
The women were back at Zotto Gym, more than 48 hours after blowing out Columbia on Saturday. It was Senior Night, and five of the six seniors--Jenalyse Alarcon, Genevieve Bertrand, Nadia Brown, Jaylei George, & Jakaiya Dewer, were in the starting lineup. Senior Kayla McNall is a reserve.
Troy had their PA announcer back to MC the Senior Night festivities, which pushed the start of the game back to 6:50 pm, a half hour after the boys' varsity game began at Burnt Hills. The women's JV game, won by Troy, didn't end until almost 6:10 pm, so they were already behind schedule.
The Lady Spartans had their first win over Troy last season, but as badly as they have played this season, getting blown out in virtually every game, Troy let them stay in the game until Alarcon hit a 3 pointer late in the 4th quarter to put Troy ahead to stay. The Lady Horses are now 3-2 after picking up a hard-earned 45-39 win.
Here's the video of the women's game:
Up next for Troy will be Colonie. The men return to Zotto Gym on Wednesday while the women begin a 2 game road trip.
