With the open format in sectional play and the large number of Class B and C schools in Section II, those two classifications need a play-in round to whittle the number of squads down to 16. Four Wasaren schools find themselves in play-in runs on Friday and here’s a quick look at each of those match-ups. Continue reading
The curtain came down on the Wasaren regular season Tuesday night and as it did the Tamarac girls clinched the league title, and the Hoosick Falls boys completed a season of perfection. Continue reading

We said here yesterday that the Mechanicville Red Raiders would be a tough out the rest of the way and that certainly was the case last night in a home run with Hoosic Valley, but the Indians are, well the Indians, and they prevailed, outscoring the Raiders in the overtime session to claim the 51 48 victory.

A late season non-league run turned into an overtime affair in Greenwich Monday night, and the home squad did just enough in the extra session, outscoring Mayfield 9-7, to post the 49-47 victory.
Olivia Barnes had a huge night for the Witches pouring in 27 points to go with 18 rebounds to lead Greenwich who improves to 8-8 on the season with the “W”.
Mayfield (9-9), was paced by Sydney Sheldon with 18 points, and Camryn Meca who added 12 points on four makes from behind the arc.
Congratulations to Mechanicville’s Julia Amedeo on being named the Wasaren Sportsnet Player of the Week.
In her last three outings Julia scored 17 points in a win at Waterford, tallied 12 points in a home “W” over Cambridge, and exploded for 23 points in a road victory over Greenwich on Friday night.
The senior Raider, averaging just under 10 points per contest, has scored 67 points in her last four games and is a big reason why Mechanicville is enjoying a fine season at 10-4 in league play.
Congratulations to Julia, our newest Wasaren Sportsnet Player of the Week.
When we talked yesterday about the matchups between Hoosick Falls and Hoosic Valley one thing we didn’t discuss is how difficult it is to step on a good team’s home floor and secure a “W”. Both the Indian girls and Falls boys handled their business at home Friday night in a pair of games that highlighted a full slate of action in the Wasaren. Continue reading
