I finally got the opportunity to go out and watch some high school hoops last night, and man, was I impressed. I went to Troy High to watch Guilderland take on the flying horses. Guilderland won the game 58-46 against an undermatched Troy team missing its two best players, but that doesn't mean the Dutchmen didn't come away looking very impressive...

It's been well documented that Albany High School football has had a lack of success on the field over the last several years. The Falcons won just one game this season -- and have not had a winning season since 2005. But they've found the man to turn around the program...

After a great fall season ended with three Section II football teams playing for state championships, we are now fully shifted into the winter season. Couldn't you tell by all the snow this week? With that said, we have our first winter ESPN Radio 104...

The first almost-full night of high school basketball is in the books. Most teams opened up Tuesday, but some will open Friday and others will play their first game next week. The best of the best: Jahlil Nails (Columbia), last year's Suburban Council Player of the Year, had 33 points in the Blue Devils win over Colonie...

Section II football teams unfortunately go 0-3 this weekend in their quests for New York State championships.
