.....And down the stretch they come!
Troy High's winter sports teams are nearing the end of their regular seasons, save for the unified men's swimming & diving team (with CBA), which may be the last to finish its season.
We'll start with basketball.
Men's basketball:
Current record: 8-6 overall after beating Bishop Ludden, 56-53, on Sunday in Syracuse. A good bounce back for John Killian's club after a heartbreaking last second loss to Shenendehowa on Friday. The Flying Horses went 2-3 on the just concluded 5 game road trip, and have 5 games left:
Tuesday: Columbia.
Friday, February 3: @ Niskayuna.
Tuesday, February 7: @ CBA.
Friday, February 10: Senior Night vs. Bethlehem.
Saturday, February 11: @ Goshen (regular season finale).
Potential trap: Bethlehem has gotten hot at the right time, trying to keep pace with their counterparts on the women's side, who are leading the Blue division of the Suburban Council.
Projected finish: All 5 games are winnable, so we see Troy finishing 13-6.
Women's basketball:
Current record: 1-16. Coach Steve Lombard didn't know what he was walking into when he took the job, for all intents & purposes, last minute in November. One must assume that assistant coach Sarah Fullmer was passed over for the head coaching position after Ryan Meikle was kicked upstairs last summer to the principal's office, and because of that, some players chose to leave the team, leaving an almost bare cupboard for coach Lombard to work with. He can't bring anyone up from JV, because the JV's are just as bad, if not worse off.
3 games remain:
Tuesday: @ Columbia.
Friday: Senior Night vs. Niskayuna.
February 10: @ Bethlehem.
Projected finish: 1-19. No sense in going to sectionals.
Bowling:
Current record: 5-7-1. Two league matches remain, tomorrow at Niskayuna, and Wednesday at Averill Park. A "tournament" has been scheduled for today. The Suburban Council championships are set for February 8 at Boulevard Bowl, Nisky's home turf.
Projected finish: 7-7-1.
Of course, I could be wrong.
