News & notes

 The season opener in women's lacrosse between Niskayuna and Guilderland, played at Schenectady because the turf field at Niskayuna is being renovated, was delayed for several minutes in the 1st half Tuesday when Schenectady went into lockdown due to an armed man in the area, whom police later apprehended.

Niskayuna won the game, 10-7.
===========================================
There will be no Federation title in Section II this year.

Albany Academy lost the Class A final Sunday to Monsignor Farrell, 55-51, at Guilderland. You tend to forget that while the Academy women play in the Colonial Council, the men play more of an independent schedule in basketball.
===========================================
Due to a scheduling conflict, Troy High's non-league varsity softball game vs. Glens Falls, set for tomorrow, has been delayed four weeks to April 27. We have to assume it's a scheduling conflict, because the weather calls for rain late Friday, and no precipitation is in the forecast for Thursday.


In other Troy High news, the school has cancelled its entire junior varsity lacrosse schedule, as they don't have enough players to fill a JV roster. We've noted previously that the Flying Horses are taking on more of an independent schedule, with some Suburban Council games mixed in, a la soccer in the fall, in the hope of improving their record. They are forging ahead, however, with a modified schedule for middle school players (grades 7 & 8) as of now.
