News & notes

 Troy High opened basketball & men's swimming season on Tuesday, with mixed results.

The united Troy/CBA/Columbia squad thrashed Albany, 98-60, to get off to a fast start for coach Jeff Maxwell. For whatever reason, results are not being submitted to the local papers in a timely manner.

On the hardwood, Shenendehowa spoiled Jamil Hood's debut as Troy's men's basketball coach, 87-62, despite a game high 34 points from returning sophomore Stetson Merritt, who had a falling out with Josh Pelletier at the end of last season, which had to have led to Pelletier's departure after the season.

Meanwhile, 2nd year women's coach Will Harris saw his daughter, Amaya, an 8th grader, lead Troy with 14 points in a 47-33 win over Saratoga. 
===================================================
After transferring from Siena, Mason Courtney has landed with St. Edwards in Texas, where he averages 10.8 points a game for the Hilltoppers, coached by Watervliet native Andre Cook.

After the College of St. Rose closed this spring, Payton Graber (Schalmont) transferred to Nova Southeastern in Florida. She's averagin 7.9 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. She leads the team in assists and shares the team lead in steals for the 6-1 Sharks.

Jonathan Beagle (Hudson Falls/UAlbany) has found a new home with Richmond, averaging 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. Richmond dropped a double overtime game to Bucknell, 82-80, on November 16. As we know, Bucknell lost to Siena last week. Go figure.
