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.

“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” →

Patroon Conference boys soccer: Taconic Hills plays Coxsackie-Athens to a scoreless tie

On a rainy evening in Columbia County, Taconic Hills and Coxsackie-Athens played to a 0-0 tie Thursday, Oct. 11, in a Patroon Conference boys soccer game.

Coxsackie-Athens generated some early chances that Taconic Hills’ defenders turned away. The Titans gradually started mounting attacks of their own on the Indians’ back line, but they couldn’t generate any quality shots on goal.

The second half featured more scoring chances for both sides, but goalies from Taconic Hills and Coxsackie-Athens turned aside shot after shot to keep the score sheet clean. Coxsackie-Athens’ defense continued to thwart Taconic Hills’ attackers in overtime, but the Indians could not muster much on the counter attack.

It was the Patroon Conference’s first tie of the boys soccer season.
