State Champ Schuylerville Remains Perfect This Season

Saratoga Field Hockey Now 6-2 After Undefeated Streak

After winning their first five games in a row, the Saratoga Springs varsity field hockey team is now 6-2 on the season after a 5-4 double overtime loss to Bethlehem Central on Sept. 15 and a 5-0 loss to Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake on Sept. 17.

Scotties Beat Amsterdam

The Ballston Spa High School football team soundly defeated Amsterdam, 27 to 6, last Friday. The game was tied 6-6 at halftime but the Scotties went wild in the third quarter, scoring 21 points and mounting a lead too large for Amsterdam to overcome. Jacob Thomas led the way with a rushing touchdown, followed not long afterwards by a Tyler Perkins TD. The third endzone appearance of the quarter came when quarterback Chris Duclos hit Wyatt Older for a huge 77-yard catch. The Scotties will look to keep the good vibes rolling when they head to Queensbury for a Friday night game.
