Troy High sports review, through October 4

 The regular season is over for golf & tennis, with sectionals coming up soon. Volleyball & soccer will soon follow, and football likely will continue into November if they do make the playoffs.

Here we go.

Volleyball:

Current record: 11-0.

Troy has taken 1st place in the Colonial Council, and the standings on the league's website are not entirely up to date to begin with, after beating Mohonasen on Monday. Add in non-league wins over Ballston Spa & Albany, and, well, Troy just keeps on rolling.

Next: The non-league homestand concludes vs. Averill Park on Monday before Troy hits the road vs. Ichabod Crane on Tuesday. The Lady Horses then return home to entertain Albany Academy on Thursday.

Football:

Current record: 3-2 (1-1 Class A Capital Division).

Any hope for an upset vs. Niskayuna vanished early Friday, as the favorites to win the division routed Troy, 51-12. 

Next: The homestand continues with Homecoming vs. Bethlehem, which has lost 3 in a row.

Swimming:

Current record: 3-2.

The Shen Invitational has not been reported as of press time. Otherwise, the team had the week off.

Next: It's a road trip to Niskayuna on Wednesday.

Men's soccer:

Current record: 5-7.

A marked improvement over last year, to be sure. Russ Hines' group bounced back from a loss to Albany Academy to beat Ballston Spa in non-league action.

Next: The guys are home Tuesday night vs. Voorheesville, then travel to Cohoes on Thursday & Averill Park next Saturday.

Women's soccer:

Current record: 2-8-1.

It's clear that Jarret Farrell's squad isn't sneaking up on the league this year. Troy dropped a non-league game to Tamarac earlier today, 4-0, to extend the current losing streak to 5 in a row. Yoiks!

Next: LaSalle comes in Monday night, a game rescheduled from September 25. After that, it's a road date with Voorheesville on Tuesday before returning home to play Cohoes on Thursday night.

Tennis:

Current record: 4-10.

Trevor McCarthy's unit is limping to the finish line with losses to Albany Academy & the Academy of Holy Names. 

Next: A September 25 match vs. Voorheesville has been rescheduled for Tuesday before sectional pairings are released on Thursday.

Golf:

Final regular season record: 5-7.

Troy defeated Schalmont to start the week, but the regular season ended with a loss to LaSalle, which completed a season sweep.

Next: Sectional play begins Wednesday at the Fairways of Halfmoon. Joey Degnan leads the Troy contingent.
