The Section II soccer sectional pairings for men & women will be announced later today, a day sooner than had been previously reported. Later today, we'll have the men's pairings, while the women's seedings should be in this space tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Queensbury closed out its season with a men's & women's double-dip at home against Amsterdam, but not in the traditional sense.
According to the school's Twitter account, both the men's & women's games were played on separate fields at the same time. One game was supposed to be at noon, with the nightcap at 3 pm, but Amsterdam had transportation issues, creating the concurrent game scenario.
The Spartans clinched the Foothills Council title in both men's & women's play, with the men taking the title on point differential over Scotia-Glenville. The men won, 4-1, while the women closed with a 4-2 verdict over the Lady Rams.
========================================
Troy High's win over Mohonasen on Friday was a belated birthday present for senior QB Michael Dinardo, whose birthday was on October 13. Dinardo accounted for nearly 300 yards by himself between running and passing, with 2 touchdown passes, and 3 rushing touchdowns in the 34-26 win. That earned Dinardo a spot on the Albany Times-Union's Section II honor roll in today's editions.
========================================
Former WTMM host Brian Cady is back on the air.
Cady, who has also been a ring announcer and manager for local independent wrestling promotions, was signed by WROW as the new host of their Sunday public affairs series, Albany Street, with the first episode airing yesterday. The station had tried to stay in house with WYJB afternoon host Jon Reilly, who was given the gig in July, but flopped after just 1 episode, which was replayed to death until October 9. Former host Joe Condon retired over the summer, rather quietly.
Cady was cut by WTMM after falling victim to a scammer pretending to be then-Yankee Shane Spencer in the mid-'00's, which was accidentally vetted.
The first episode, however, was not without some bloopers by WROW, whose weekend staff has apparently not gotten past the intern level. Listeners expecting a half hour-plus of music leading to Legends of Jazz were instead treated to replays of the first half of Cady's initial broadcast due to some transmission foul-ups. Maybe that should convince Pamal/Albany Broadcasting to hire some full-time weekend staff again.
