section II

Congrats to Saratoga's Tim Stauffer and Schenectady's Casper Wells.  Both Capital Region natives are on Major League Baseball rosters for the 2011 season.

Here's a photo from the past! It's some old school Jimmer Fredette and yours truly.

Just when you think that Glens Falls native and BYU star Jimmer Fredette was going to slow down in the NCAA Tournament, he dishes out yet another incredible performance.

It's down the final weekend of the high school basketball season as 5 Section II teams will all be going for New York State Championships.

Talor Battle's first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament didn't last long. Juan Fernandez hit a game-winning shot with 0.4 seconds left giving Temple a 66-64 victory over Penn State in a West Region matchup in Tucson.

The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament gets underway on Thursday (well, really on Tuesday - but I'm not counting the "play-in" games) and the Capital Region will be well represented.

Glens Falls' Jimmer Fredette isn't the only former Section II basketball standout getting it done at the next level.  Bishop Maginn graduate Talor Battle has the Nitany Lions in a position to make their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 10 years.

The Section II Boys Basketball tournament is underway.  Check out the latest scores and schedules here. And make sure to catch the hoops highlights on the FOX23 High School Sports Show on Friday night at 10:45pm and Saturday at 10:30pm.

I'm just going to admit it now.  Last night, I got Jimmer'ed!
