Ballston Spa Basketball Wins Tough Test, Remains Unbeaten

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Sports.

HUDSON FALLS — The Ballston Spa varsity boys’ basketball team continued its strong start over the holiday break, beating a strong Hudson Falls squad to improve to 8-0 on the season.

The Scotties went on the road and cruised past the Tigers in what was a battle of previously unbeaten teams. Hudson Falls, a Class B school, had already defeated two Class AA opponents this season (Shaker, Albany). Ballston Spa dominated, however, pulling away in the second quarter and running to an eventual 92-56 victory.

Ballston scored 35 points in the second quarter to take a 54-33 lead into halftime, and never let up from there. Senior guard Michael Miller had 32 points for the Scotties, with fellow senior Nick Verdile scoring 24 points. Hudson Falls senior Peyton Smith led the Tigers with 25 points in the loss. 

Ballston Spa (8-0 overall, 4-0 Suburban Council) resumes league play today with a road contest against Troy (4-2 overall, 4-0 Suburban Council) at 7 p.m.
