Capital region wrestling fans starving for live action before WWE hits town on September 12 will get a warmup from New York Championship Wrestling, which will have a live card Friday at the Watervliet Dome. Hometown star Foxx Vinyer, who has appeared with All Elite Wrestling and Ring of Honor, will be one of the featured attractions. Also, for the nostalgia buffs, the Rock & Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson) will face the Stepdads.
Tickets are $25 each at the door. Bell time is 7 pm. DVR Smackdown if you have to, and you might make it home in time for AEW Rampage.

The Tri-City Valleycats are regretting this weekend's trip to Canada.
The Atlantic Division leaders were bushwhacked by Equipe Canada in a 3-game sweep. The cumulative score in the three games was 35-12. Ouch!
=========================================
Apparently, there were other commitments prohibiting the Troy Fighting Irish from playing their regular season finale at Watervliet High on Saturday, so the Irish returned to their old home, Lansingburgh High, for Saturday's game vs. Auburn. It was all moot, as Auburn forfeited the game due to lack of available players or COVID.
I'm beginning to suspect that it's actually a case of the Irish needing a temporary home, if 'Burgh had to renovate their field for the forthcoming season. Don't ya wish they had a press department?
=========================================
Some school districts in Section II, such as Albany, Bethlehem, & Niskayuna, are requiring that student-athletes trying out for, in particular, volleyball & football, be vaccinated, or in the process of same. One report last week said that Nisky was only offering football & volleyball as "high risk" sports, leaving out men's & women's soccer, but that might've been an oversight. We'll have to wait & see when games begin in two weeks.
