The last of Section II's tennis titles was decided Thursday, when Bethlehem upset Shaker, 7-2, to win the Class AA title. Now, it's on to state play for the Eagles.
Thomas Wolfe famously wrote that you couldn't go home again.
U'Mier Graham would like to debunk that theorem.
The former Green Tech star, who played as a graduate student at the Knox School this season, is returning home to play for Dwayne Killings at UAlbany next season. The Great Danes can use the hometown connection, to be sure.
Friday's sectional scoreboard:

Brayhans Barreto didn't have it Friday as the Tri-City ValleyCats opened a series vs. Brockton at Bruno Stadium.
After 5 innings of no-hit ball vs. Quebec a week ago, Barreto was wild over three innings vs. The Rox, who touched him up for 8 runs, all earned over that span. Derek Bender (Albany Academy/Coastal Carolina) got it started after Barreto walked the bases loaded, and crushed a grand slam to right. Tommy Kretzler (Colonie) walked with 1 out, but was doubled off first on a Scott Seeker liner to first baseman Brayden Jobert to end the frame.
After Brockton doubled its lead to 8-0 in the 3rd, Tri-City finally answered with 4 runs of their own, and gradually began to claw their way back into the game against Zach Eldred (Columbia/SUNY Brockport). Ranko Stevanovic homered in the 5th to cut the deficit to 8-6, and in the 6th, Jobert scored on a single by Jake Reinisch (Shenendehowa/Wake Forest). However, the Rox put the game away in the 7th against Michael Riley with three insurance runs. Jobert drove in Connor Hext in the home 7th to close the scoring, as the Rox won, 11-8.
The teams will try to resume the series tonight at 6:30 pm, weather permitting.
