Red Hook plays at Marlboro on February 3, if anybody is curious. Coleman Catholic hosts New Paltz on Friday, with [...]

….to the Chester boys’ basketball team, for Thursday night clinching a tie for the OCIAA Division V title with a 70-52 victory over Tuxedo. Chester – now get this – upped its league record with the victory to 3-0! Can you imagine? That’s all it takes in a ridiculous three-team division. You have 27 OCIAA [...]

Pine Bush’s Cleanthony Early drops 48 points on Newburgh – and loses. Pine Bush coach John Salvadore said the performance was something to see.

Thoughts on frigid Friday afternoon

Anybody have any thoughts as to the best Mid-Hudson Athletic League team? You’ve got Rondout Valley heating up in Division I. Division II is wide open as Red Hook beat New Paltz, but lost Onteora, which then lost to New Paltz. Then you had Marlboro beat New Paltz. When is Spackenkill not a tough out? [...]
