News & notes

 Columbia captured the Suburban Council women's bowling championship on Wednesday. Results did not make some media outlets in time for publication on Thursday.

And, on Thursday, Mohonasen added the Class A women's title to the Colonial Council title they won earlier in the week. Schalmont won the B title, outpointing Lansingburgh by nearly 70 total pins. Middleburgh won the C/D title.

The men's results have still not been published.

While we don't know how Troy High did in the men's tournament, they did cop some hardware on Thursday.

Olivia DeCitise was named to a composite all-star team that will take part in state competition. Eric Balogh & Colin Shepard were named as honorable mentions in the league. Congratulations to all three.

===========================================

Has Siena's women's team peaked in basketball?

The Lady Saints dropped a 70-59 decision to St. Peter's on Thursday night. Valencia Fontanelle-Posson (Guilderland) had a season high 10 points in a losing effort.

===============================================

Hoosick Falls men's basketball coach Mike Lilac, Jr. won his 400th career game Thursday, as Hoosick Falls demolished hapless Berlin-New Lebanon, 70-24. No box score has been provided for the game. Lilac joins his father, Mike, Sr., in a very exclusive coaching fraternity with the milestone win.

==================================================

We've talked about how there have been shadows passing over the scoreboards at Troy High this season. It's been happening at Lansingburgh, too, and on at least one occasion during a LaSalle hockey game at HVCC.

At Ichabod Crane in Chatham, however, it's more of an electrical issue at Riders games. The scoreboard flickers throughout the game, which suggests that some work needs to be done after the season is over.

For evidence, we offer Thursday's Riders-LaSalle varsity game.

For the record, Brett Richards led all scorers for Ichabod Crane with 32 points, but LaSalle's Adam Myers & Jason Bradwell had 15 each, backed by JJ Thompson with 11, as LaSalle won the game, 74-64.
