News & notes

 In a rare case of mid-week scheduling, the NY Phoenix made their first appearance at the Washington Avenue Armory, and took back the lead in their division in The Basketball League with a 114-105 win over the Albany Patroons. However, the Phoenix lost star Shadell Millinghaus in the 1st quarter to a leg injury.

The Pats, now in 2nd, begin their Canadian Maritimes tour Friday at Halifax, Nova Scotia, while the Phoenix return to Armory Studios to host Reading.

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

Former Northville women's basketball coach Jim Zullo was back in Troy City Court Tuesday, but it didn't last long.

After 5 minutes, judge Christopher Maier adjourned proceedings until May 6. The prosecution's discovery phase had been completed a week ago in the case of Zullo yanking the hair of Hailey Monroe last month, and Zullo's lawyer, Robert Abdella, had been offered a plea deal that would see Zullo pay a fine of $250, waive his right to an appeal, and accept a 2 year limited order of protection, the latter of which likely isn't necessary, since I doubt he'll see Monroe again any time soon.
