In a nice early season girls matchup, Cambridge hosted Tamarac on Friday night  The Indians took control early, but left the door slightly ajar, and while the Bengals stepped to the open door they never walked through as Cambridge held on for the 49-44 victory.

Three minutes into the first period the Indians, holding a 5-4 lead, went on a run, building a cushion they would hold for much of the contest.  Cambridge closed the quarter with a 12-2 spurt that saw five different players score, and held a 17-6 advantage after the first. Continue reading →

A familiar face and voice will be seen and heard stalking the Hoosic Valley sidelines this season as former head coach Walt Dorman returns to the lead chair.  Dorman, who led the Indians to a state title in 2012, while known by everyone at the Valley, has not previously worked with this group of players.

“Having never coached this group I’ve been happy with their ability to adjust to me and my ways”, said Dorman.  He added, ” They’ve been completely dedicated to the process.” Continue reading →

In a game that was tied at both the quarter and halftime breaks Hoosic Valley gained some breathing room late in the third and gradually pulled away over the final eight minutes earning a 60-48 decision over Mechanicville in Schaghticoke Tuesday night.

The visitors ran out to a 5-1 lead early in the first with sophomore Amy DiSiena scoring four points off a runner and a transition bucket on a nice feed from Charli Goverski.

The Valley’s Renee Serafin tied things at 5-5 midway through the period on a runout, and her wing jumper to end the quarter again knotted the score at 8-8. Continue reading →
