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.

With the last week of the regular season upon us there’s a girls team in the Wasaren that has quietly gone about their business and put together a nice campaign. While traditional powers Tamarac, Hoosic Valley, and Hoosick Falls fill the first three slots in the league standings the Red Raiders of Mechanicville sit in fourth place with an impressive 10-4 league mark.

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
Longtime rivals Hoosick Falls and Hoosic Valley will get together tonight at a pair of venues with plenty on the line for both the girls and boys squads. The girls run will play out in Schaghticoke while the boys take the floor in Hoosick Falls and the atmosphere at both will say it’s more than just another Friday night. Continue reading
There was a trio of runs in the league last night with one-sided decisions all around.
Saratoga Catholic 72 Waterford 53: The Saints exploded for 43 second half points to break open a close game and post the road victory over Waterford. Continue reading
Tamarac 53 Stillwater 37: Tamarac built a 37-16 halftime lead and rode that cushion to the easy road win over the Warriors of Stillwater.
Emily Erickson scored 16 points and Hannah Kreiger added 13 for the Bengals who bottomed eight triples on the night. With the win front running Tamarac improves to 12-1 in league play. Continue reading
In a matchup of the first and last place squads in the Wasaren, home standing Hoosick Falls gave the visitors from Waterford little opportunity to pull the upset, jumping out to a 22-11 lead after one and increasing that cushion to 44-23 at the half on their way to a 75-53 “W”. Continue reading
