News & notes

 While Troy High has been struggling on the football field so far this season under first-year coach John Barber, it wasn't the only coaching change at the old barn.

Troy quietly changed varsity women's soccer coaches, too. Science teacher Justin Haviland stepped down, and physical education teacher Janine Turcio was quietly hired to take his place. The results have been the same as the football team to this point. 

While the football Flying Horses finally scored some points in a road loss to Averill Park (they've been outscored 130-6 in three games), the women's soccer team hasn't scored a point. Tuesday's home match vs. Albany was not reported to the press, a sign that they didn't want to further traumatize the team. Likewise, their home volleyball match vs. the Falcons was not reported in time for today's deadlines. What other rational reason could there be?

Update, 9:55 am: Schedule Galaxy reports that the women's soccer team snapped its losing streak, giving Coach Turcio her first win. See below.

Update, 9/30/21, 11:07 am: Schedule Galaxy has posted that Troy defeated Albany in volleyball, 3-2, on Tuesday.
