High school scoreboard, 2/27

 Men's basketball:

Saratoga 61, Troy 60. Chris Dufort led all scorers with 25 points for the Blue Streaks. Alex Wolfe led Troy with 17 points, and Josh Rodriguez added 15.

CBA 67, Schenectady 64.

Bethlehem 49, Niskayuna 45.

Shenendehowa 46, Albany 36.

Colonie 51, Averill Park 50.

Ballston Spa 63, Columbia 57.

Shaker 59, Guilderland 46. Stats for this game were not reported.

Also:

LaSalle suffered its first loss under Greg Davis, losing to Green Tech, 69-61. The Eagles, as recently as a couple of weeks ago, had been having problems finding opponents in this pandemic-ravaged season. As an independent, Green Tech had it the toughest. Looking at the game, it's easy to see why schools have been reluctant to schedule the Eagles. LaSalle falls to 4-1 with the loss.

Women's basketball:

Schalmont 58, Ichabod Crane 38. Payton Graber broke the school's career scoring record  for women, and finished with 22 points.

Also:

Guilderland 72, Shaker 64.

Averill Park 63, Colonie 52. Amelia Wood, after being shut down by Troy the night before, led with 22 points.

Shenendehowa 76, Albany 61. The Huerter sisters combined for 38 points (Meghan led all scorers with 24, Jillian added 14).

It appears the Saratoga-Troy game was either postponed or cancelled, the second game in 24 hours for the Blue Streaks to be called off. They were supposed to play Shaker on Friday, and that, too, was postponed. COVID, anyone? The games will likely be made up the week of March 8.

CDHSHL:

Bethlehem won't finish the season undefeated. CBA saw to that with a 2-1 win to split their series.

LaSalle picked up a game on Bethlehem in the standings by sweeping the Capital District Jets, 3-2. The game was moved to the Albany County Hockey Training Facility, which is home to CBA, virtually last minute due to problems with the ice at Frear Park.

David Clemenzi got the hosts on the board first with under 3 minutes left in the first period, but (Moves Like) Jagger Sessa tied the score less than 30 seconds later. After Shaun Branon put LaSalle in front, Cameron (Holy) See knotted the game for the Jets, but it was Nathan Harriman who put the game winner past Phil Ryan in the third period to win it for the Cadets (4-3 overall, 4-2 division). Assuming Frear Park's ice is repaired in time, the Cadets will return Wednesday to play the luckless Mohawks, and then will welcome CBA on Friday before returning to the Albany County Hockey Facility for the finale next Saturday morning.

Also, the CDHSHL has rescheduled their post-season Delvecchio Cup tournament. Instead of spending three days in Glens Falls, the league will revert to a more traditional model, as quarter-final games will start March 10, making it imperative that LaSalle run the table to have at least one home playoff game. According to the schedule on LaSalle's HomeTeamsOnline page, the quarters (& presumably, semi-finals) are set for March 10-11, with the finals in Glens Falls, as scheduled, on March 13.
