If you follow me on Twitter (@1045RadioBrady) you've noticed that I tweet most of my stories and blogs out at the following accounts: @518varsity @Real518Sports @518SportsDRoss and @challsidelines. Those accounts are all run by student-journalists at the high school level...

After dispatching CBA-Syracuse in the NYS Regional Final, the Troy High School boys' basketball team is just two wins away from a New York State championship in Class A. Rich Hurley's team will play against Williamsville-South (Buffalo Area) at 9 a...

If the Jimmer Fredette era is over in New York, it ended with a flurry. With the Knicks getting blown out again last night by Portland, the fans were chanting for Jimmer to enter the game all night. He finally got in with just over three minutes left and immediately contributed two free throws after drawing contact through the lane...

As the Shenendehowa boys' basketball team prepares to face Green Tech tonight in the Section II final (7:30 p.m., Times Union Center), they'll do so with a label more prestigious than No. 1 seed: Nationally ranked. The undefeated Plainsmen (23-0) now hold the No...

After a 55-38 win against CBA in the Class AA semifinals on Thursday night, Shen is heading back to the Class AA final, where they'll meet Green Tech on Tuesday at 7:30 at the Times Union Center (the Shen girls play at 6:00 for the title against Albany High)...

Through two games with the New York Knicks, Glens Falls native Jimmer Fredette has played just less than two minutes. The Knicks are 0-2 in those games. Fredette has taken only one shot - and buried it - a three-pointer in a Monday loss to the Toronto Raptors...

The quarterfinals of the Section II boys' basketball tournament are the best days of the high school sports season, in my opinion. The Class AA quarters at Hudson Valley CC on Saturday afternoon saw four games, three of which were very competitive...

Earlier in the Spring, we found out that Maple Hill graduate Jaime Schultz would be getting an invitation to major league Spring Training with the Tampa Bay Rays, and now we find out that Shaker High School graduate Jeff Hoffman has the same invitation to Rockies camp...

It's been a banner year for Section II basketball as we are fortunate to have some of the best players in recent memory on both the boys' and girls' side, and that was further evidenced yesterday when the finalists for New York Mr. and Miss Basketball were announced...

The Section II basketball pairings came out this afternoon, and in order to properly break them down, we brought in James Allen of the Albany Times Union. Allen has covered Section II athletics since 1989. When it comes to Class AA on the boys' side, is Shen the clear favorite...

JP Sportman. Jordan Canzeri. These athletes, among several others, have helped put the Capital Region on the map in the last few years. Sportman, the LaSalle graduate who has torn through the Oakland Athletics minor league system since being drafted in 2014, and Canzeri, the Troy grad who helped the Iowa Hawkeyes get to the Rose Bowl this year, both have one thing in common...

Glens Falls native Jimmer Fredette is a favorite son of the Capital Region because of what he does on the basketball court. He excelled at Glens Falls and at BYU before making it to the NBA. Armed with a great shot and a dizzying array of moves around the basket, Fredette is arguably the best player to ever come out of the Capital Region...
