News & notes

 Updating information from Monday:

UAlbany is currently initiating a nationwide coaching search to find a successor for Will Brown, who parted company with the school on Monday. Assistants Josh Pelletier and Jon Iati are among the candidates. Iati is currently listed as the interim coach even though the Great Danes' season ended on Sunday.
======================================
The Albany Times-Union, in reporting on Monday's Averill Park-Shenendehowa women's basketball game, is noting that the Suburban Council will have a post-season tournament next week to make up for the lack of sectionals.

What that means for Troy High is that their women's home game vs. Saratoga, which was cancelled on Saturday due to COVID issues, will not be made up, and the Lady Horses will only see Albany and/or Guilderland in the tournament, depending on seedings, which will be announced next week.
======================================
Monday's basketball scoreboard:

Suburban Council (men):

Troy 47, CBA 42: Josh Rodriguez led Troy with 16 points.
Schenectady 57, Colonie 55.
Shen 72, Averill Park 37.
Niskayuna 61, Ballston Spa 38.
Columbia 63, Bethlehem 54. The Blue Devils picked up their first win of the season, but are locked in the Gray division cellar.
Albany 71, Guilderland 59.

Troy leads the Gray division at 7-2, and should lock up a 3rd division title should they take care of business and beat Ballston Spa, Shaker, & Bethlehem. They have a 2 game lead on Schenectady with 3 to play.

Non-league (women):

Cambridge 57, Troy 33. Jenalyse Alarcon led all scorers with 18 points in a losing effort for Troy. Sophie Phillips led Cambridge with 16, with sister Lily and Schuyler Nolan adding 11 each.

Suburban Council (women):

Shen 63, Averill Park 34. With three games left, the Plainswomen have clinched the Blue division. Rylee Carpenter led Shen with 21 points. Meghan Huerter added 15.
Shaker 54, Burnt Hills 34.
Albany 84, Guilderland 71.
