Beginning next year, the NYSPHSAA wrestling championships will return to MVP Arena in Albany. The venue was awarded the state tournament for a 3 year period beginning in 2026.
The last time the state championships were at the-then Times Union Center, some of the competition aired on local television. Hmmmmm.
===============================================
Former UAlbany defensive lineman Jared Verse, who was drafted out of Florida State last spring, was named the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year at Thursday's NFL Honors event, broadcast on NFL Network.
===============================================
Seeing how flag football for women has been a success at the high school level, Russell Sage College is adding the sport to their lineup, beginning next year. The Gators will be one of 5 Empire 8 teams taking part in the sport. However, given how poorly high school flag football's been covered the last two years, this will run into the same problems of media coverage.
Stay tuned.
================================================
