News & notes

 CBA's Donald Jones has committed to UAlbany to play football next season. Jones, who was a kick returner, defensive back, running back, quarterback, & wide receiver at CBA, will have choose which position he'll play this fall. Younger brother Archie, a sophomore, will compete for the starting QB job with CBA in training camp this summer.

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

Someone needs to tell WROW morning host Ben Patten to give the women's basketball teams at UAlbany & Siena some love.

Patten is plugging the men's game tonight between UAlbany & Vermont, but has so far ignored the women, who've won 14 straight heading into tonight's home game at Broadview Center vs. Vermont. Patten only reads the women's scores during the postseason, which is doing the schools a complete disservice.

Notes from Tuesday's Troy-Niskayuna basketball games.

On the women's side, Amaya Harris was the lone Troy player in double figures with 10. Troy failed to crack double figures in any quarter, as Nisky never relented with the full court pressure. As for the guys, the Merritt brothers didn't get much help again. Stetson Merritt had a game high 31 points, while Legend added 13. Troy was held to 16 points in the 1st half before making a run to outscore Nisky, 19-9, in the 3rd quarter before Nisky pulled away in the final frame.
