Troy High sports review, through April 4

 The spring season has begun. Tennis, baseball, & outdoor track are scheduled to start this week, weather permitting. Meanwhile, let's take a look at last week's action.


Flag football:

Current record: 2-0.

Frank Rogers' club is off to a fast start again after avenging a loss to Shenendehowa on opening day, then beating Guilderland on the road. Football is one of the few sports left where Troy will face teams from the Suburban Council.

Next: The Lady Horses return home to play Colonie on Wednesday, then travel to Shaker on Friday, and will host Monroe-Woodbury on Saturday.

Softball:

Current record: 0-2.

Another slow start for Sean Geisel's club, as they dropped non-league games to Shaker & Colonie. Starting play in the Colonial Council can't come soon enough.

Next: The ladies are idle until Thursday, when they host Schalmont, then it's a non-league matinee vs. Burnt Hills on Saturday.

Men's lacrosse:

Current record: 0-2.

Updated, 4/7: Troy lost, 18-2, to Voorheesville on Friday. It wasn't reported until 4/7 for unknown reasons.

The Troy laxmen were blown off the field vs. Schalmont-Mohon-Schenectady on Wednesday, 13-2. Different league, same issues.

Next: Troy goes across town to Lansingburgh for a rush hour special vs. the Knights on Tuesday, then play Hoosick Falls-Tamarac (Wasaren League) on the road on Friday.

And the rest.....

Tennis opens vs. Cobleskill-Richmondville (Western Athletic Conference) on Monday, then a road trip to Albany Academy on Thursday. This meet was pushed back a week for unknown reasons.

Outdoor track, marking year 2 for coach Jordan Canzeri, opens Wednesday at Voorheesville. On Saturday, the ladies will be at LaSalle, while the guys travel to Niskayuna.

Baseball: Trevor McCarthy's group will look for revenge vs. Schalmont Monday (weather permitting) before embarking on a 2 game non-league road trip to Averill Park (Wednesday) and Lakeland on Saturday. I didn't even know there was a Lakeland in New York until I saw the schedule.

In case of weather, check your schools, and watch this space when we pick up postponements.
