The Shen baseball team captured its first state championship on Saturday after producing a come-from-behind walkoff win. The Plainsmen were aided by several great individual performances including the semifinal dominance of Ian Anderson, who was also drafted by the Atlanta Braves with the No...

It was June 1, 2008 (I think), and we were the No. 1 seed in the Section II playoffs, having completed a great regular season. We were the No. 5 team in New York State for Class AA and we were playing Niskayuna, who had just beaten Amsterdam in a first-round game (we had a bye)...

It wasn't just Shen baseball star Ian Anderson who was drafted this week in the MLB Baseball Draft. While Anderson went 3rd overall to the Atlanta Braves, several other players with Capital Region ties were drafted as well: Stephen Woods of UAlbany was drafted in the 8th round by the Giants while La Salle grad Zach Remillard was drafted in the 10th round by the Chicago White Sox...

Congratulations to Shenendehowa star pitcher Ian Anderson, who was selected by the Atlanta Braves with the No. 3 pick in the 2016 MLB Draft last night. It marks the third straight year that the Capital Region has had a first-round pick as Shaker grad Jeff Hoffman was taken by the Blue Jays ninth overall in 2014 and Niskayuna grad Garrett Whitley was taken No...

The final MLB mock drafts continue to come out and this morning I saw one draft expert projecting Shen star Ian Anderson to go No. 12 to the Red Sox, while one had him going No. 18 to the Yankees. While Anderson has an interesting choice ahead of him about whether or not to sign professionally or go to college at Vanderbilt, I don't think it's a difficult choice for the lanky right-hander...

The Shenendehowa baseball team advanced to the New York State Final Four with a win on Saturday against Cicero-North Syracuse. In the win, Shen star pitcher Ian Anderson allowed just two hits while racking up 16 strikeouts. It was a nice final outing for Anderson before the Major League Baseball draft, which begins on Thursday...

When the LeMoyne College lacrosse team takes the field on Sunday in the NCAA Division II National Championship game against Limestone, they will be doing so with a pair of Shenendehowa graduates at the forefront in senior Mike Jenkins and junior Brain Rogers...

While the Clarkson University baseball team didn't win the Liberty League title this year, they did have some very impressive individual performances from Section II standouts, including Shen grad Chris Miller. The junior outfielder was named to the All-New York region team by D3baseball...

The honors keep coming for Shen baseball star and MLB Draft hopeful Ian Anderson. Much like NIskayuna star Garrett Whitley a year ago, Anderson has been invited to the draft in New Jersey. The first round begins on June 9th. Anderson just made his second start of the season last weekend for the Plainsmen, taking a loss against Class A Queensbury...

The biggest question in regards to the local baseball scene this year is where will Shenendehowa right-hander Ian Anderson go? Will he be drafted in the first round? How about the Top 10? Will he forego his commitment to Vanderbilt in order to enter the professional ranks...

Last week we got notice of the Class D, C and B boys' basketball all-state teams and today we get the release of the Class AA and A teams. Huerter headlines the Class AA group after winning Player of the Year. The Maryland-bound senior led the Plainsmen to a Class AA Regional championship one year after helping his team capture the state title...

Every time that Ian Anderson takes the mound in 2016 for Shenendehowa, he is going to do with several pairs of Major League eyes on him. Yesterday, multiple scouts were in attendance to see the ace pitch against Guilderland. Draft prognosticators were also in attendance, including our friend Hudson Belinsky of Baseball America...
