2/24 HVCC 8:00pm
Glens Falls has the best player in Section 2 in Joseph Girard III. I think his will be a good matchup Schalmont could possibly contend with GF. If Troy Moran, Tyler Mattice, and Jesse O’Dell can get going and shut down JG3 I think Schalmont can pull out a dub. In the end I think GF remains undefeated with another W.
2/24 Shen HS 6:30pm
Obviously Mekeel is the favorite to win this matchup, but don’t take anything away from Justice Brantley and the Cats who pulled of an upset vs Hoosick Falls. If Brantley can have a big game like he did @ Chatham this year then the Cats are in good shape to pull off a HUGE upset. I think Mekeel will come out of there with a W though.
2/24 Shen HS 5:00pm
Sean Nolan leads the Blackbirds into Friday night against the Patriots who defeated the Tigers from Cohoes. I think this could be a good game, but it could also end in a blowout. I think Voorheesville wins this contest.
2/24 HVCC 6:30pm
This will be the best game of the four. #4 vs #5 in a classic rivalry matchup! Mike Alert vs Pete Volkmann, Kimedrick Murphy vs Joey Werner. This is a great game and it deserves endless publicity! This game will come down to the wire! Expect a high intensity, loud atmosphere, and tons and tons of big plays! Mike Alert will be splashing three’s back and forth with Pete Volkmann all night long
