Valley Boys, Cambridge Girls Post Wins

A good number of Wasaren teams have enjoyed successful basketball seasons this year, while playing a different type of schedule with most teams having the opportunity to face opponents they typically would not when playing a Wasaren schedule. Two of those squads were in action on Wednesday and both the Cambridge girls and the Hoosic Valley boys stayed hot, capturing wins.

The talented Cambridge squad has rolled through most of their nine games thus far with little difficulty, as was the case in Hudson Falls Wednesday night where the Indians ran out to a 23-3 lead after the first period and cruised from there to the one-sided “W”. Cambridge placed three players in doubles with eight Indians scoring points on the night as Cambridge, with the win, remains undefeated with two contests remaining on the year.

Hoosic Valley built a 29-13 lead by the break and rode that cushion to the home victory over the Rams in Schaghticoke Wednesday night. After starting the season 1-4, the Indians have been on a roll with last night’s “W” being their sixth straight. Sophomores, Reilly and Eddy combined for 37 points in the run, and both started quickly teaming up for 19 of the Valley’s 21 first period points, a quarter that ended with a 20-7 Indian advantage.

On Senior Night in Stillwater a back and forth first half ended with Mechanicville holding a slim 31-30 lead, but the visiting Raiders slowly pulled away over the final two periods and notched the win over their neighboring rival on Tuesday night. D’Ambro’s 24 points led a trio of Raiders in double figures for the 11-1 Mechanicville squad. Stillwater ( 6-6 ) also posted three players in double figures with Lilac’s 14 points leading the way for the Warriors.
