As the season winds down.....

 Time to take another look at winter sports at Troy High, and, this time, also at LaSalle.

Troy High:

Men's swimming & diving (combined with CBA):

Current record: 4-3.

The season ends today at Niskayuna. Jeff Maxwell's squad is assured of finishing at least at .500. Sectionals start, I believe, next week, if not sooner.

Bowling:

Final regular season record: 7-7.

The Flying Horses will take part in the Suburban Council championships tomorrow at Boulevard Bowl. According to Aktivate, the tournament match postponed from last week is set for next Tuesday, also at Boulevard Bowl. We'll see.


Men's basketball:

Current record: 9-7.

John Killian's club has four, not three, games remaining, as they've rescheduled a non-league game vs. the Utica Academy of Science. Originally scheduled for Zotto Gym on December 17, the game has been moved to UAS' gym, next Monday at 7 pm. Troy will play three of the four games on the road, starting tonight at CBA. Senior Night is Friday vs. a red hot Bethlehem team that has won 9 straight headed into play tonight. Venerable coach AG Irons won his 200th career game on January 27 in the midst of the streak, and he has had Troy's number over the years.

The Flying Horses finish at Goshen on Saturday, and UAS on Monday.


Women's basketball:

Mercifully, the season ends Friday at Bethlehem. Kim Wise's Eagles routed Troy at Zotto Gym on January 4, and everyone expects more of the same on Friday. The only buzz with the Lady Horses is whether or not 1st year coach Steve Lombard is retained for next season after a historically horrid 2022-3 campaign.

Projected finish: 1-19. 

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

LaSalle:

Men's basketball:

Current record: 10-8.

Greg Davis' club finishes the regular season tonight at Ichabod Crane. A strong showing will go a long way toward determining seeding for the sectionals, which begin February 16.

Hockey:

Current record: 6-6 CDHSHL, 9-8-1 overall.

Two games remain for Tim Flanigan's squad. Senior Night is Friday vs. a luckless Albany Academy team that LaSalle beat last month on the road. The Cadets will close at Bethlehem on Saturday, but likely will get a spot in a play-in tournament a week later.

Projected finish: 7-7 (10-9-1).

 Before we get to this week's recap, we will note that Troy's own recap is not yet available on their website, as, due to Rosh Hasha...
