Troy High sports review, through January 16

 Time is running out for swimming & bowling, with sectionals right around the corner. Basketball just continues to roll along.


Swimming:

Current record: 4-3.

The slumping Flying Devil Brothers fell to Niskayuna on Tuesday, but what was more telling was that it took a couple of days before the results were posted to Swimcloud. Hmmmmmm.

Next: A road trip to Ballston Spa on Tuesday.

Bowling:

Final regular season record: 7-7.

Don Poutre's club has dropped 4 matches in a row, having been swept by Lansingburgh on Thursday. The Knights remain the standard-bearers in the Colonial Council.

Next: The regular season is over, so the Flying Horses are idle until the league championships at Boulevard Bowl on February 3.

Men's basketball:

Current record: 8-2 (5-1 Colonial Council).

Your eyes do not deceive you. Reality hit the Horses when they lost to Lansingburgh on Tuesday, then came home and looked flat in a loss to Red Hook on Wednesday. However, Jamil Hood's club recovered to beat Mohonasen on Friday.

Next: A non-league road trip to old nemesis CBA on Tuesday, then returning home to play Ichabod Crane on Friday.

Women's basketball:

Current record: 9-2 (8-0 Colonial Council).

There's only one word to describe the blowouts over Lansingburgh & Mohonasen. Those teams ended up as roadkill. The 70 point margin of victory over the luckless Lady Knights was the biggest of the season for Troy, which then followed up by crushing Mohon by nearly 40. Ouch!

Next: The ladies will have three games in four days, staying on the road to play old rival Bethlehem on Wednesday, then Ichabod Crane on Friday, before returning home next Saturday to play Hudson Falls, a make-up date from last month's Glens Falls holiday tournament. Tip time there is 2 pm.
