A look back at the Section 2 Cross Country Championships

By ROB JONAS

SARATOGA SPRINGS – One race lived up to its pre-event billing, while another showdown never materialized at Friday’s Section 2 Cross Country Championships at a soggy Saratoga Spa State Park.

The Class A boys race turned into a battle royale between Shenendehowa and Saratoga Springs, with the Plainsmen pulling out a three-point victory over the Blue Streaks, 60-63. Saratoga had two of the top four runners in the race, but Shen’s pack mentality proved to be the deciding factor.

“Our sixth and seventh runners beat Saratoga’s fifth runner. That was the game right there,” said Shen boys head coach Lance Jordan. Continue reading “A look back at the Section 2 Cross Country Championships” →

Scenes from Section 2 boys soccer: Maple Hill edges Catskill in Patroon Conference battle

By ROB JONAS

SCHODACK – Seth Roberts’ goal less than 14 minutes into the second half proved to be the difference for Maple Hill in a 1-0 victory over Catskill Tuesday, Sept. 18, in a Patroon Conference boys soccer game.

The Wildcats (4-1) made several unsuccessful pushes towards goal until Lucas Charlebois sent a through pass into the Catskill penalty box, where Roberts redirected it past Cats goalkeeper Andrew Tran inside the left post with 26:25 left in the second half.

Patroon Conference boys soccer: Taconic Hills edges Catskill on short rest

Less than 24 hours after beating Cairo-Durham 7-4, Taconic Hills bounced back by edging Catskill 1-0 in a Patroon Conference boys soccer game Saturday, Sept. 15.

The Titans controlled the tempo in the first half, but did not possess the ball well. Catskill attempted to take the lead with a couple of shots in front of the Taconic Hills goal late in the half, but goalkeeper John Disbrow stopped them both.

Taconic Hills applied more offensive pressure on Catskill in the second half, and it paid off when Phillip Davis scored off a pass from Teagan Campion-Pratt. Catskill looked for a late goal to tie the score, but the Titans’ defense held firm.

In Friday’s win over Cairo-Durham, Kolby Clegg struck for five breakaway goals to lead Taconic Hills. Richie Savoia recorded a hat trick for Cairo-Durham.
