News & notes

 The Albany Firewolves would probably be satisfied if the season ended in the next month.

The 'Wolves dropped their 9th straight, 11-9, to Toronto on Saturday at MVP Arena. After arriving in the league with so much promise, the 'Wolves have turned into a league doormat. The last indoor lacrosse team in town, the Attack, lasted three seasons before folding. Let's hope the same does not happen to the 'Wolves.
============================================
LaSalle graduate Zach Remillard may be a step closer to the big leagues with the Chicago White Sox.

Remillard, who played in Double-A at Birmingham last year, hit two homers to lead the ChiSox past Cincinnati, 9-2, Saturday night in a preseason game in Goodyear, Arizoa. You might get to see the game on MLB Network this morning before live coverage begins.

Anyway, check the video:


I think Remillard starts in Triple A this year, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the call sometime this season to Chicago.
===========================================
As bad as the Firewolves have played, the Albany Patroons are trending in the opposite direction.

The Pats won their 7th straight, blowing out Academie Alma, 120-80. Montreal is in town today for a 3 pm matinee, and, like Academie Alma, looking for revenge after the Pats beat them in Canada two weeks ago.
===========================================
UConn has reached the final four after knocking out Gonzage, 82-54, on Saturday night. Andre Jackson (Albany Academy) had 8 points in 31 minutes for the Huskies. The Huskies will learn who their opponent is after play today.
============================================
Speaking of Albany Academy, the Cadets play a mostly independent schedule in Section II, unlike the women's team, which won their first sectional title earlier this month. The men have reached the Class A finals of the Federation tournament, which this year is being contested at various Section II schools, including Guilderland and Shaker. Final round match is today.
