News & notes

 Belated congratulations to Schenectady product Tara VanDerveer, who retired as Stanford women's basketball coach earlier this week. Tara was born in Massachusetts, and her family moved to Schenectady early on. She graduated from high school in Niagara Falls. She was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011, and won gold medals in the Olympics, Goodwill Games, and World University Games. She finishes with 1216 wins on her record for an .818 winning percentage.

Flag football scores have been hard to come by. Only one result came without a box score in today's editions, and it was Troy going to 2-0, beating Burnt Hills, 27-12. The Lady Horses return home Wednesday night to play Bethlehem at 7:30 pm.

UAlbany has lost another player to the transfer portal in basketball.

Muneer Newton played all 32 games this season, but has entered the portal to see what would be a better fit for him. Something tells me either Newton or some of the others, like Sebastian Thomas, could return, or this could spell the end of Dwayne Killings' tenure with the Great Danes. Stay tuned.
