Troy High sports review, through April 17

 As we approach the latter half of April, the women's teams at Troy High are hot, but the guys? Not so much.

Flag football:

Current record: 4-1.

The ladies have defended their turf with blowout wins over Ichabod Crane & Catskill, running the current winning streak to 3.

Next: KIPP Tech Valley closes the homestand on Wednesday. The game was, I think, supposed to be a road game, but KIPP doesn't have a home field. The ladies finally hit the road on Friday at Hudson.

Softball:

Current record: 4-2 (2-0 Colonial Council).

Three games in as many days? Not as much of a problem as you'd think, as Sean Geisel's club took down Shaker on the road, then came home and blew out Holy Trinity before going back on the road to beat Schalmont in 9 innings.

Next: The road trip continues at Cohoes on Monday, as the Tigers will try to finally beat Troy, then at Ravena on Tuesday before returning home to play a Lansingburgh club that isn't a pushover like their other women's teams. The week ends with a road game at Mohonasen. Four games in five days this time.

Women's lacrosse:

Current record: 4-2.

The winning streak is at 3 after a tight win over Holy Names on Thursday.

Next: It's back home to play Mohon-Schalmont-Schenectady on Thursday. Then, it's back on the road to play Voorheesville on Friday.

Men's lacrosse:

Current record: 2-2.

The laxmen are back at .500 after beating M-S-S on Friday, 8-6.

Next: Stillwater-Mechanicville visits on Monday night. Friday, they play Voorheesville, but the Colonial Council website says both the men & women are on the road. Maybe the Blackbirds have separate fields? This might be an error either way.

Baseball:

Current record: 2-3.

Last week started promisingly with wins over Queensbury & Schalmont, but ended with a thud in a loss to Averill Park, 11-0. Kody Thompson twirled a 1-hitter, as the game was called after 6 innings (mercy rule), with Kayne Behan getting the lone hit for Troy.

Next: On the road at Cohoes on Monday and Albany on Tuesday, the latter game being played at the Plumeri Sports Complex, where CBA plays their home games, so this might be some sort of charity event. Then, it's back home vs. Lansingburgh on Wednesday before a road game at Mohon on Friday.

Men's modified lacrosse will host Schalmont at Gardner-Dickinson on Tuesday, the first game since the merger of the Troy & Wynantskill districts.
