News & notes

 After 18 years, Chris Culnan is stepping down as Athletic Director at Shenendehowa when the season ends in June. Culnan is leaving to spend more time with his family.

Meanwhile, Jamian Rockhill has taken a leave of absence from his role as AD at Scotia-Glenville, amidst criticism for how he's run the athletic department. Rockhill had been at Scotia for more than a decade, such that a committee has been formed to fill the void until Rockhill returns, if at all.

==========================================
To illustrate the bias the media has in favor of the Suburban Council, one needs only to take a look at the golf all-star teams selected by the Albany Times-Union.

On the men's side, Tanner LaTorre of Ichabod Crane was the only player from a non-Suburban school to make the 1st team, and he was Player of The Year.

The men's 2nd team had a bit more diversity, with Brady Carrow of Voorheesville, Adam DeGregory of Schuylerville, and Cooper LaBarge of Cobleskill-Richmondville, all seniors, making the team, joined by Sean Roddy of Guilderland and freshamn Jeffrey Fumarola of Ballston Spa.

For the women, as expected, Hayden Knapp of South Glens Falls (Foothills Council) led a more diverse 1st team, named Player of The Year. Because the Bulldogs don't have a women's team, Knapp played with the men.

Troy High's Joey Degnan was ignored on both the 1st & 2nd teams for the men.
