The Class A & AA Super Bowls are now set. As we reported last night, it'll be a rematch between the two sets of Spartans--Queensbury vs. Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake---in the A title game next Saturday night at Shenendehowa. Meanwhile, in Class AA, the two teams that were bridesmaids to Troy the last two years, Shaker & Saratoga, will meet at Bob Ford Field at UAlbany on Friday night.
Over in Class B, Cobleskill has punched its ticket to the Super Bowl, and awaits the winner of today's game between Hudson Falls and Glens Falls. Syracuse-bound Joseph Girard III leads Glens Falls into a possible Super Bowl berth yet again. The Class C & D Super Bowl berths will be decided today as well.
=======================================
After being eliminated from the playoffs last week, LaSalle hosted Christian Brothers Academy in their annual battle for the Sabre to close out a disappointing season for both teams. CBA retains the Sabre with a 21-14 win. Due to two forfeits due to ineligible players, LaSalle closes its first season under John Audino with a 2-7 record, but with room for improvement next year.
=======================================
Suppose you're one of the best volleyball teams in Section 2, and you can't compete in sectionals because of a technicality, one caused by a clerical error?
That's exactly what happened to Lake George's women's volleyball team. They were declared ineligible for the Class C sectionals, despite being the top team, due to playing too many regular season games. One too many, in particular. According to a report on WTEN, a Lake George scrimmage vs. an unnamed opponent was mistakenly reported as a regular season game. State rules cap the regular season schedule for volleyball at 20 games, so, in effect, Lake George was screwed by an error in judgment. The mistake, according to the WTEN report, was by an opposing school. Intentional or not, it's a sickening feeling for the seniors on the Lake George squad.
