High School this 'n' that

The season is over for Section II hockey. Bethlehem, which captured the Delvecchio Cup in beating LaSalle on Tuesday, got a taste of their own medicine Saturday night in getting blown out by Section X champion Massena, 8-3. Queensbury, which plays in Division 2, also was eliminated, falling to Section I champion John Jay, 6-2.

All that says is that Section II still has a way to go to be on an equal playing field with teams in other parts of the state this time of year.
=====================================
Friday's snowstorm forced Section II's basketball committee to cram all 10 games together on Saturday. It seems they have learned their lesson from past years, as, at least for the women's games, there was a 15 minute window between games to give fans a chance to leave if they didn't want to stick around and binge themselves on more action.

Here's the results, courtesy of the Albany Times-Union:
