News & notes

Former LPGA golfer Dorothy "Dottie" Pepper is now working in television, but you can bank on the fact that she's paying close attention to a high school sophomore who could be the next Section II player to go on the tour.

Albany Academy's Kennedy Swedick won her 2nd straight Section II title Tuesday at McGregor Links, carding a 66 over 18 holes. Keep in mind that she is a sophomore. It's very possible she could win again as a junior & senior. Academy teammate Nicole Criscone finished 2nd, three shots back at 69, and two more Lady Cadets, Jillian Rawson & Samantha Von Rohr, a sophomore & a freshman, respectively, tied for 3rd, 14 shots back. Criscone, by the way, is a junior, so all four of these talented ladies will be back next season.

If this doesn't convince any of the local stations to cover this event, even on tape delay, what does?

News & notes

 Citing a "player shortage" at South Glens Falls, the Bulldogs' football game vs. Troy High was postponed again on Monday, spoiling Homecoming at Troy. No makeup date has been set, but there is the prospect that if Troy doesn't make the playoffs, they could reschedule the game for either November 5 or 12. In that case, Homecoming would be on October 29, when Troy has the Collar City Cup on the line vs. LaSalle. Stay tuned.

========================================

Shenendehowa's Ian Anderson gave up just three hits over five innings while striking out six, as Atlanta defeated Milwaukee, 3-0, on Monday to take a 2-1 lead in their NLDS. The Braves could close out Milwaukee later today.

News & notes

Atlanta Falcons receiver Juwan Green hasn't seen the field in three games since it was reported that he was being brought up from the practice squad for a game vs. the Giants two weeks ago.

As it happens, Green was moved back to the practice squad after that game, and thus he apparently didn't make the trip to London, as the Falcons beat the Jets, 27-20, on Sunday. How will anyone else have a clue as to evaluate Green if coach Arthur Smith doesn't use him? It boggles the mind.

==========================================

Shenendehowa grad Ian Anderson will pitch for the Atlanta Braves this afternoon in game 3 of the NLDS vs. Milwaukee. The series is even at a game apiece, and Anderson will have the advantage of pitching at his home park, as the series shifts to Truist Park outside of Atlanta. First pitch will be a little after 1 pm, with the game airing on TBS (Spectrum Cable channel 104).

==========================================

Saturday was a big day for RPI.

Their field hockey team downed Skidmore, 2-1, which might've been the nightcap at East Village Campus Stadium.

The main event there, though, saw the Engineers continue their winning streak, putting down Buffalo State, 24-16, giving up two late scores.

Check the video:

Not long after the football game ended, the scene shifted to the Houston Field House, where the Lady Engineers completed a surprising sweep of Union College, 9-2.

Unfortunately, all of that momentum died with the men's hockey team, which went to overtime with Bowling Green for the second straight night, only this time, the result wasn't so pleasant, as Bowling Green left town with a 3-2 victory.

The RPI men are now 0-1-1, while the women are at 2-4. Like, who knew?

News & notes

 We told you yesterday that RPI's women's hockey team had lost 31 straight games. Then, other sources noted that the winless streak was actually 39, including 8 ties.

This morning, it's over.

In the first half of a home & home series at Union College, the Lady Engineers ended the losing streak with a 4-0 verdict. RPI (1-4) will host Union (2-1) this afternoon at 3 in the first half of a hockey doubleheader at Houston Field House.

The nightcap will be the conclusion of a 2 game series between the RPI men and Bowling Green. Game 1 ended in a 2-2 tie through overtime (no shootouts in college hockey):

Meanwhile, the Union men dropped their opener to New Hampshire, 4-1.

High School Fridays: Shaker @ CBA (football), 10/8/21

 5 1/2 months ago, Jake Iacobaccio was a freshman quarterback-defensive back at CBA. Bob Burns was leading Troy to a Section II Class A title. Shaker was upset by Guilderland for the AA title.

Funny how things can suddenly change.

After the school year ended, Iacobaccio transferred to Shaker. Burns was hired by CBA, and brought with him assistants Jim Canfield & Sam Marro. Fullback-linebacker Jaylen Riggins followed them across the river by transferring from Troy for his senior season.

Tonight, Iacobaccio led Greg Sheeler's Blue Bison into battle at CBA on Spectrum News 1's Friday Night Matchup. Sheeler, while it wasn't a point of emphasis, had to be thinking revenge, as he had lost to Burns & Troy in 2016-17.

CBA took the opening kickoff, and marched down the field, but a defensive stop by Shaker halted the drive at the Bison 5. Shaker couldn't do anything, and punter Malcolm Robinson shanked one that landed at the 35. The Brothers grinded it out on the ground again with Brenden Simek and Donald Jones, ending with Jones running it in from 12 yards out for an early 7-0 lead.

Just 90 seconds later, Shaker answered with swift precision. Malachi Moore galloped home from 31 yards out, and we were tied at 7 after the first quarter, with the Bison driving again.

As the second quarter, Shaker took the lead in an ninstant. Porter Ninstant, that is, who ran it in from 11 yards out. However, the point after was blocked, and Shaker led, 13-7, at the break.

A little over halfway through the third quarter, Jones struck again, this time from 10 yards. However, the point after skewed wide, and we were tied at 13 heading into the final frame. Ninstant answered yet again, with just over a minute left in regulation, again from 10 yards out. Again, the point after was blocked. On the ensuing CBA possession, Jack Gregory's desperation heave was picked off. One kneel-down later, and CBA fell from the ranks of the undefeated. Shaker goes to 5-0 (4-0 Class AA) with a hard fought 19-13 win.

CBA, which had only allowed six points going in, ran into some of the same decision making issues that occasionally plagued Burns' teams at Troy. If they were any more conservative, Burns, a Rensselaer County Legislator, would cross party lines. Through six games (5-1 overall), the Brothers are averaging 39 points a game, down from 44.2 at the start of the evening. Their points against average, which was a microscopic 1.2 going in, went up to just over 4 points per game.

Other stuff: LaSalle downed Queensbury, 25-24, to run their record to 3-2.

Troy's women's tennis team ended its season in the first round of the sectionals with a 6-1 loss to Hudson Falls. Why did they even bother? Emma Willard, now in the Central Hudson Valley League, upset Columbia, 6-3.
