Basketball Season Draws Near
Thinking back to my time as a player and coach, it always seemed to me that basketball season ramped up once we had snow in the air. I know, it makes little sense but in my mind that first snowfall meant the season that I so enjoyed was on. With the white stuff blanketing our area overnight it means it’s on indeed.
High school teams move into the second phase of their basketball year over the next few days when they take the floor for scrimmages.
As player I used to love scrimmages as they gave you opportunity to go against teams and players from others leagues. At the Valley back in the day we’d travel to Hudson Falls, Glens Falls, Lansingburgh and always cross the river for a run with the Red Raiders of Mechanicville in their old gym which was a great venue.

Fredette Drops 75
This just in. Jimmer Fredette can score the basketball. Always has, and until he chooses not to, always will.
The Glens Falls native showed his scoring prowess once again yesterday, pouring in 75 points for the Shanghai Sharks in a 137-136 defeat to the Beikong Fly Dragons in a Chinese Basketball Association contest.
Jimmer went for 62 in the second half including an astonishing 40 points in the final period. He shot 24 of 34 from the floor including 7 of 10 from deep, and 20 of 21 from the free throw line. Fredette scored with :07 remaining on an acrobatic drive giving the Sharks the lead before the Dragons won it at the buzzer. Jimmer added eight rebounds, seven assists and four steals to round out the stat sheet. Continue reading
Stillwater Wins it All
Was there ever any doubt? After finishing state runner-up just a year ago the Stillwater girls soccer team was on a mission to return to the title game and flip the script. Sunday in Cortland they did just that posting, a 5-0 victory over Little Falls to capture the Class C state championship. Continue reading
Panthers Falls in State Semifinal
The Hoosick Falls field hockey was tied with four-time defending state champion Whitney Point 2-2 in the second half before the Eagles exploded with four goals to close things out and post a 6-3 decision in the Class C state semifinals in Williamsville on Saturday.
Hoosick Falls finishes an outstanding season at 20-1, with regional and sectional championships in their 2018 campaign.
Stillwater Marches to State Final
The patient, relentless, season-long journey to the state championship game for the Stillwater girls soccer team took it’s final step on Saturday with a 4-0 defeat of Haldane in the Class C semifinals at Cortland High School.
State finalists year ago, the Warriors played with laser focus all season, determined to fight their way back for another shot at a state crown. They’ll have just that Sunday at 3 p.m. at Cortland HS when they take on Little Falls for Class C supremacy.
Brooke Pickett and Teya Staie with two goals each led the Warriors offensively while Stillwater keeper and the Warriors defense posted yet another shutout, their fifth in six post season outings in which Stillwater has outscored their opponents 34-1.
With a 21-0-1 mark in place, and their march to the finals complete, now it’s time for the Warriors to deliver with all the chips pushed to the center of the table.
