IT IS A CANNONEER DYNASTY |
 |
|
Whether it is Class C or Class B
does not seem to matter much for
Watervliet. The Cannoneers
have now won four straight
Section II titles between the
two small school classes and
have moved on to the State
Tournament once again after
defeating Colonial Council rival
Mechanicville 38-27.

Watervliet has one of the most
storied basketball franchises in
Section II and New York State,
and as the future still looks
bright for a young Cannoneer
team, the Class B Championship
belongs to an undefeated Fonda
team who defeated the Arsenal
City school 62-54. The
Braves were led by Senior Seth
Hidde who netted 22 points in
the title game and earned

They entered the Class A
playoffs four games below .500
and all they did from there is
record three victories and win
the Class A title. Burnt
Hills just knows how to win
those big games when they matter
most. They have more
Section II championships over
the past two years than any
other school, yet this one
proves that experience in the
big games is an intangable that
can not be overlooked.

battled back in the second half
and sent the game into overtime
where Chris Despart played
the part of hero and hit his
third 3-pointer of the game with
:04 seconds remaining to give
the defending Class C Champions
the crown once again and earned
himself the Tournament MVP in
the process. Sean Danaher added
10 points and 10 rebounds in the
46-45 overtime win for Maple
Hill. Kevin McMahon netted a

At half time it looked as though
Broadalbin still had a chance if
things went their way.
Then a 14-year old Freshman
shattered the Patriots dreams of
an upset.
Jordan Gleason (above) slammed
home two dunks, hit a pair of
three pointers, had three steals
and two assists and that was all
in a five minute span of the
third quarter. When the
quarter ended the only question
remaining was when will the
substitutes enter the game for
the Cannoneers.
Watervliet Head Coach Walter
Bowden decided that would take
place early in the fourth
quarter but 2:27 later Gleason
and his older brother Devonte
re-entered the game after
Broadalbin cut the lead to 19.
The number two seeded Class B
team held on for the 89-72

The

Gwiazdowski controlled their

was the first Section II winner
of the weekend winning with a

Title at 152lbs.
Gwiazdowski of Duaneburg
followed soon after earning the

Casper of Leroy (V) for the
Division II 215lb Gold. If
the energy and atmosphere are
any indication, the Wrestling
State Championship will remain
at the TU Center. (T. Smith) |

After much delay Schalmont
traveled to Watervliet for what
everyone thought would be an
easy win for the Cannoneers, but
for the first two quarters of
their third matchup of the
season it looked as if the
Sabres may upset the Class B #1
seed. The second half
however belonged to the Arsenal
City hoopsters who move on to
host Schuylerville on Wednesday
in the quarterfinals of the

SARATOGA IS SECTION II CHAMPS |
 |
|
Shaker/Colonie came out strong
and dominated the first period
of play, but a regulation hockey
game is three periods long.
After entering the first
intermission leading 1-0 the
Jets had complete control of the
game. When the teams
returned to the ice for the
second period it looked as if it
may be much of the same in the
second period. Then
everything changed. The
initial dominant team took a few
penalties and the momentum began
to shift. Saratoga netted
two goals in the second and
continued to control the game
from there and took the Division
I crown with a 3-1 victory. (Jon

GAME ON: CADETS BATTLE IT OUT
The snow
storm and school closings
changed what was to be a busy
night on the hardwood once
again. For those of you
who did not make it to Albany to
watch Boys Academy take on La
Salle, and there were not many
who missed it judging by the
capacity crowd, you missed what
shaped up to be the game of year
thus far. Josh Terry
scored a team high 16 points and
teammate Marquis Campbell (22)
netted 12 but it was not enough
to lead La Salle's version of
the Cadets to a victory.
Albany Academy outscored the
private school from Troy 20-14
in the fourth quarter and won
the first round contest 62-59
led by David Benoks game high 18
points. Nolan Hart added
15 points for the host Cadets.

AN ATHLETE FOR ALL SEASONS |
|
|
|
Schalmont's Vince Gallo (on top)
powered his way to winning the
Section II Class CC title at the
181lb weight Class. The
Sectional Championship is
Gallo's second in two seasons
this school year after being a
member of the Class B football
champions (T. Smith) |

MERGER WORKS FOR WALSH/VLIET |
 |
|
The Watervliet Wrestling team
always seemed to have tough
kids. They always had some
wrestlers that opponents would
fear, but in recent years that
fear has spread. For the
past two years Section II has
taken notice that the Cannoneers
are at the top of the heap in
Class CC. What has been
the biggest change in the past
two years? A merger
between Loudonville Christian
and Watervliet's programs.
What that has meant for
Watervliet is Brian Walsh (above
on top). Walsh is now the
two-time Section II champion
after winning the 140lb crown on
Saturday at Schalmont High
School. Was it enough for
his team to take the Title for
the second year in a row?(T.
