News & notes

 Congratulations to Saratoga Catholic baseball coach Alphonse "Phonsey" Lambert on winning career game #600 Saturday, as the Saints won the title game in the Phil Waring Memorial, defeating Schuylerville, 12-1, in 5 innings.

It's been a week of milestones in Section II. First, it was Curtis Nobles at Ballston Spa winning #250. Then, Mike Lilac, Jr. at Hoosick Falls claimed #400. Rico Friese at Maple Hill won #300.

Let's not forget that a chunk of Nobles' career victories came when he was at Troy High, so figure they'll send him some belated congratulations, if they haven't already done so.

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

The Tri-City Valleycats have won 2 straight to start the season, downing Trois-Rivieres, 6-1, on Saturday night. Carson McCusker hit the 1st homer of the season for the hosts, who close their series today at 5 pm. If you can't be at the game, and don't want to subscribe to FloBaseball, you can listen to the game at tcvalleycats.mixlr.com for free.

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

Tennis season is officially over at Troy High.

The Flying Horses got a participation trophy, if you will, as a 1st round tomato can, losing to Queensbury, 7-0. Since most of Troy's meets were never reported to the press, it's safe to assume this capped another winless season.

We're waiting for the result of Saturday's non-league lacrosse road game vs. Hoosick Falls-Tamarac, played on Tamarac's field in Cropseyville, and all of last week's flag football games.
