News & notes

 It's Masters Week in golf, and before the tournament itself begins on Thursday, Augusta National opened its doors to a junior tournament, which wrapped on Sunday.

South Glens Falls 8th grader Hayden Knapp took part in the Drive, Chip, & Putt national finals Sunday, finishing 5th. It could be that Section II may have found its next women's golf star after Albany Academy's Kennedy Swedick graduates at the end of the season, and leaves for Virginia.

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

While classes will not resume at Troy High, and, presumably, other schools in the 518, today due to the solar eclipse, there's a full slate of sports action.

Troy softball (1-1) will continue their homestand vs. Colonie today at 5 pm, while the baseball team (0-1) hosts Guilderland. A non-league softball game vs. Glens Falls, set for tomorrow, has been postponed, as Troy will instead make up Friday's postponed game vs. Shenendehowa. The Glens Falls game has been rescheduled for April 16.

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

There was some softball action Sunday, as Mayfield (Western Athletic Conference) took part in a tournament, and won both games, defeating Copenhagen, 7-0, then defeating Avoca-Plattsburgh, 6-3.
