Notes from around town

 Sports agent John "JR" Rickert's tenure as principal at Niskayuna High is coming to an end at the end of the season.

The district, which recently announced they would retire the "Silver Warriors" team nickname in favor of plain "Nisky" in the fall, announced Friday that Anthony Malizia will succeed Rickert as principal beginning in September.
