Troy High sports review, through January 30

 Bowling & swimming will officially wrap up this week, but there's two more weeks of basketball left to go.


Women's basketball:

Current record: 13-2 (10-0 Colonial Council).

Will Harris' club has won 7 in a row after beating Albany Academy, 61-38, on Friday. Granted, the Bears had been in a trap game vs. Shaker earlier in the week, but soon discovered this wasn't the same Troy team they beat a year ago. Four league games remain over the two weeks.

Next: It's a 2 game road trip to Voorheesville (Tuesday) & Ballston Spa (Thursday) before returning home for a rematch with Cohoes on Friday. Speaking of trap games, B-Spa may very well be one.

Men's basketball:

Current record: 9-4 (6-1 Colonial Council).

It can be argued that Jamil Hood's Flying Horses fell into a trap, too, but it was a narrow loss to Berne-Knox-Westerlo, 69-68, on Tuesday night.

Next: Four games in six days, starting today at Duchess Community College for a tournament hosted by old nemesis Kingston. Then, the guys are back home Tuesday vs. Voorheesville, then back on the road for a two game stretch vs. Columbia (Wednesday) & Cohoes (Friday).

Swimming:

Final regular season record: 6-4.

Swimcloud and the local press were never given the results of this week's meets, so we reached out to Troy AD Paul Reinisch, who filled us in. Troy-CBA-Columbia lost to Burnt Hills-Scotia on Tuesday, then came home for Senior Day & beat Guilderville.

Next: The league championships take place Saturday at Ballston Spa.

Bowling:

The Colonial Council championships take place Monday at Boulevard Bowl. Hopefully, the layoff will enable Don Poutre's club to shake off the rust after dropping their last four matches.
