High School Fridays: Bragging rights (LaSalle @ Troy, 9/29/23)

 It had rained most of the day, but as game time approached, it looked as though LaSalle & Troy would be able to play in dry conditions the entire night. The Collar City Cup was on the line, and it was Homecoming at Troy.

LaSalle won the opening coin toss, and deferred. Their defense shut down Troy's running game, forcing a punt. The Cadets would then march down the field, but had to settle for a field goal by Will Kelly to take an early 3-0 lead.

Troy started with Jeremiah Gilmore at quarterback instead of Jeremie Archambeault, who alternated between running back and wide receiver the entire night. Spectrum announcer Chris Watson repeatedly misidentified Archambeault as "Jermaine", even though the graphics department got it right. Regardless, Gilmore had his best success either on designed runs or through the air.

The first half was largely a defensive struggle, but some dubious officiating at the end of the 2nd quarter led to some chaos. An unintentional, ever so slight face mask tug on Gilmore led to a turnover deep in Troy territory. However, the Cadets could not cash it in, although replays showed that quarterback Chris Chenette actually got the ball over the plane of the goal, but the officials missed it. Seems they've been taking online correspondence courses with notorious baseball umpire Angel Hernandez.


LaSalle's next possession was just as chaotic. After a first down at the Troy 5, Chenette tried to clock it, but fumbled. The clock kept running instead of stopping to allow the chains to be reset. Troy recovered the fumble as time expired in the half.

Just three minutes into the 3rd quarter, LaSalle's Matt Bott put the game away with a 37 yard touchdown run. Kelly added the extra point to give the visitors a 10-0 lead. LaSalle's defense kept the Troy running game bottled up, and Gilmore more than once had to come out of the game, with receiver A'Zari Johnson taking over at quarterback. Gilmore, it appeared, may have injured his left hamstring, but gutted it out. I'd say he'd be questionable for next week's home game vs. Bethlehem.

Late in the 4th quarter, Kelly added some more salt to Troy's wounds with a 47 yard run of his own to the house. An extra point later, LaSalle was up, 17-0, and that would be your final score. LaSalle (3-2) travels to Columbia next week. Troy played a much better game defensively, but there are still some holes to be filled on the offensive line to spring the running game. At 0-4, there is a sense of urgency, so maybe coach Jordan Canzeri might need to find his old playbook from his playing days.......

News & notes

 Mike Kwarta is back in the arena football business.

Kwarta, who foolishly sold the Albany Empire to Antonio Brown earlier this year, and watched the Empire implode under Brown's watch, is reportedly reviving the Albany Firebirds for next season.


Kwarta, and some so-far-unnamed business partners, will hold a press conference at MVP Arena on Monday. What isn't clear yet is if the new Firebirds will play in the Indoor Football League or the revived Arena Football League.

None of this would be happening if Kwarta had done his due diligence on Brown and his diva behavior in the NFL six months ago. Had he done so, the Empire would've finished the season.

Damon Ware will return to coach the new Firebirds. You know what they say about a Phoenix rising from the ashes? It may apply to the Firebirds, too.

News & notes

 When Troy High's women's basketball team takes the court this winter, they have to replace three top players from last season. Addie Borowsky graduated, and Ava Mamone reportedly decided to go the prep school route.

Now comes word that Kate Gilooly has transferred across town to LaSalle, which will play its first varsity season this year. As we noted yesterday, the two city rivals will not meet on the court this season.


We are waiting on the results of Troy's soccer & golf matches vs. Burnt Hills on Tuesday, but, predictably, the Spartans shut out Troy in volleyball in straight sets, snapping the Lady Horses' 3 match winning streak.

News & notes

 One week after their national television debut, Hudson Valley Community College dropped its 2nd straight football game, falling to East Coast Prep, 26-13, squaring their record at 2-2. Watching the game without sound is not cool, and is an indicator of the disconnect between the athletic & communications departments. HVCC doesn't have a campus radio station, but maybe they should consider a deal with UAlbany's channel....
========================================
Speaking of UAlbany, the Great Danes snapped a 2 game losing streak, going to double overtime to beat Morgan State, 23-17. The Great Danes are also 2-2, and start conference play next week at home.
========================================
Union & RPI have been feasting on tomato cans to start the season.

RPI began pulling their starters before halftime as they demolished Dean College, 63-0. The Engineers were up, 56-0, at halftime, and didn't score again until the 4th quarter. RPI is now 4-0, and begins league play in 2 weeks, as they continue their homestand at East Campus Village Stadium. Dean falls to 1-3.

Meanwhile, Union crushed Montclair State, 43-7, to go to 4-0.
=========================================
Burnt Hills---surprise, surprise----won their own tournament in volleyball on Saturday, sweeping 3 opponents in the Cider Challenge, beating Cornwall and Foothills Council representatives South Glens Falls & Broadalbin-Perth. Only Cornwall won a set from the Spartans.


Averill Park also hosted a volleyball tournament, but results were not reported.
===========================================
To break down how bad things have been for Troy High football after 3 games, consider this:

Troy's defense has given up 148 points, or, 49.1 points per game.

Troy's offense has only score 34 points, or 11.1 points per game.

The disparity, of course, went the other way under Bob Burns (2015-21). Jordan Canzeri has to find cohesion in his offensive & defensive lines, and, maybe change quarterbacks. Jeremie Archambeault reclaimed the starting job this season after being a backup last year, and starting in 2021 under John Barber. In a way, Archambeault is Troy's answer to Jets QB Zach Wilson, and that's all I'll say.

High School Fridays: Lansingburgh @ Schalmont, 9/22/23

 Friday Night Matchup presents a battle of unbeatens in Class B this week, as Lansingburgh (3-0) visited Schalmont (2-0) tonight in the Sabres' home opener.

Lansingburgh won the toss, and took the opening kickoff.....nowhere. It was a defensive struggle in the 1st quarter until the Sabres collected a safety late in the frame after a penalty backed up the Knights near their own goal line.

Beginning in the 2nd quarter, it was the Landen Callahan show.

Less than 2 minutes into the quarter, Callahan scampered in from 15 yards out. QB-PK Ryan Woodrow added the extra point, and Schalmont extended its lead to 9-0. Two minutes later, Callahan recovered a blocked punt, and scored again. Dylan Devine, on a gadget play, hit Woodrow for the 2 point conversion. Mere seconds later, Devine picked off Israel Baker, and ran 33 yards to paydirt. Woodrow added the PAT, and the Sabres went into the break with a healthy 24-0 lead.


Things quieted down in the 2nd half until Callahan----who else?----added to his big night with two more touchdowns in the space of 2 1/2 minutes to lock it down for Schalmont, which goes to 3-0 with a 37-0 shutout. 'Burgh falls to 3-1.
=========================================
Other scores:

Shaker 47, Colonie 14.
Ichabod Crane 48, Green Tech 24.
LaSalle 43, Amsterdam 7. The Cadets avenged a loss last year at Amsterdam.
Columbia 55, Troy 6. Troy is 0-3, and their defense went missing again on the road. Not a good thing with LaSalle coming in next week for Homecoming and the Collar City Cup.

Averill Park 27, Bethlehem 6. Like Lansingburgh, the Eagles fall from the ranks of the undefeated.
Shenendehowa 59, Ballston Spa 20.
Ravena 41, Mechanicville 6. Ravena hosts Schalmont next week.

News & notes

 We can confirm that Troy High, having had their October 27 game vs. Albany taken off the schedule, has moved up Homecoming to September 29, the Collar City Cup game vs. LaSalle. The game will be televised on Spectrum News 1's Friday Night Matchup.

The change adds more pressure on the winless Flying Horses, who are on the road at Columbia (2-1) tomorrow night. The school will host its annual Homecoming dance on September 30.
