News & notes

 The Tri-City Valleycats made it official a week ago, as they're bringing back Frontier League HR champion Denis Phipps for his 3rd season in Troy. Phipps smashed the team record for homers in a season, and gives the 'Cats a base around which to build their offense for this season.
=============================================
Is there room for a 2nd arena football team in Albany?

The Arena Football League, which disbanded after the 2019 season, is being revived this year, with an eye toward a 2024 launch with as many as possibly 16 teams. League officials are interested in putting a team in Albany, but the Empire, the last AFL champions before the dissolution of the old league, are the 2-time defending National Arena League champions, and have no plans to jump back. The Empire begins their season in April.
==========================================
It might be in the best interest of UAlbany to cut bait on Dwayne Killings, given his legal issues.

The Great Danes dropped their 6th straight, 66-50, to UMass-Lowell Wednesday night. As the losses mount, so do the distractions. Gerald Drumgoole, Jr. led Albany with 18 points, as the Danes fall to 1-8 in America East play, leaving them in last place, heading into a home game with arch-rival Vermont on Saturday.
