After getting on the soapbox yesterday to stump for the ol' alma mater (Troy High), Wednesday's results brought a sobering dose of reality.
Troy softball saw their 7 game winning streak come to an end at the hands of Ichabod Crane, 14-3, leaving the Lady Riders as the only undefeated team left in the Colonial Council. Troy drops to 6-1 in league play, 8-3 overall. The Lady Horses will play host to Albany Academy tomorrow.
Baseball will also host Academy after beating Ichabod Crane, 7-0, to snap a 2 game losing streak. Keegan Armstrong twirled a no-hitter, and struck out 13 to lead Troy.
Flag football just rolls on, blowing out Ravena, 33-6, for their 7th straight win. Next up is a road trip to Mohonasen tomorrow, followed by a showdown with Columbia on Monday.
Men's lacrosse dropped an 8-7 decision to Greenwich-Cambridge. Next up is a road game at Hoosick Falls-Tamarac tomorrow. The Panthers will be looking for revenge after losing to Troy earlier this season.
Niskayuna is looking for a new football coach.
Brian Grasdorf stepped down after leading Nisky to a Section 2 class A title in November. Grasdorf, the head man for Nisky for 9 seasons, is leaving to spend more time with his family.
Burnt Hills is planning on a new multi-purpose field for football, soccer, field hockey, & lacrosse, to be built next door to the current field, Centennial Field. It'll be a turf field, which would cut down on concerns about rain.
It won't take long for Gerry McNamara to see some "old friends" next season.
It was announced today that UAlbany will take a road trip to Syracuse as part of both schools' non-conference schedules, per the Albany Times-Union. Date has not been finalized as of press time.
This season, the Orange began a series of ads with Harding Mazzotti law firm. Imagine if ex-Siena players Francis Folefac and Gavin Doty appear in those ads next season.
We have to close on a somber note. I'd imagine flags at UAlbany are at half staff today in memory for Richard "Doc" Sauers, who passed away earlier this week at 96. If it was possible for the school to memorialize Sauers next season, I don't think anyone would object.
Rest in peace, "Doc".
