Cohoes girls' basketball team has won nine straight

COHOES -- The opening night of the season for the Cohoes High girls' basketball team proved to be an eye-opening experience as perennial small-school power Hoosic Valley's suffocating man-to-man defense helped the Indians post a 54-34 win Nov. 30.
"It was a really tough way to start. We thought we'd give them a better battle than that," Cohoes senior Bailei Tetrault said. "They have the best defense around." Things didn't get much better for Cohoes three nights later in its Colonial Council opener against defending league champion Holy Names as the Tigers dropped a 41-34 decision.
The team, which spent six nights a week together throughout the summer competing in four leagues and working together in two open gym nights, hoped for better than an 0-2 start. All the difficult beginning did for the Tigers is make them work even harder. That resolve, and the subsequent results, speak for themselves.
The Tigers (9-2, 8-1) have climbed to the No. 8 ranking in the latest state Class B poll on the strength of a nine-game winning streak. Cohoes looks to make it 10 in a row Friday when it hosts Holy Names (10-1, 8-1) in a showdown for first place in the Colonial Council Patriot Division. Game time is 7. Cohoes has captured those nine games by an average margin of victory of 28 points. The only close contest during that span was when the Tigers edged Watervliet -- ranked No. 3 in the state Class B poll at that time -- 54-53. Read More...

Sparks Finish 11th at the Penn State USA Invitational
Saturday, July 24, 2010 Tournaments
The Saratoga Sparks 16U team traveled to State College PA this past week and finished up their 2010 campaign by finishing 11th out of the 64 teams in the Southern Bracket of the Bluechip USA Invitational Tournament. The Sparks finished with a 4-2 record while turning the heads of many college coaches.
Niskayuna’s Ashley McCaughan, Shenendehowa’s Megan Rogers and Mandi Edick and Queensbury’s Alexis Perryman were all named game MVP’s.
The week was terrific for the Sparks who spent much of the season being haunted by their coach about the importance of winning the first game of the tournament. Pressure was applied at every practice and a website was created as a constant reminder that winning the first game at Penn State would split the tournament field in half, assuring the Sparks games against the best competition in their bracket.
