Albany High girls' basketball, boys' bowling teams in title contention
One
team is perfect for the season and ranked among the top teams in New
York state. One was perfect for more than a month and striving for its
first Big 10 title since the coach was one of the team leaders.
Both have high expectations once the regular season
ends in February.
The
unbeaten Albany High School girls' basketball team and the boys'
bowling team are surging through their seasons with some of the top
performers in Section II.

Director's Memo: Sports are a time commitment
Updated for
the spring 2012 sports season
Sports are a time commitment.
If you are interested in participating in a varsity or junior
varsity sport, please keep in mind that you are making a commitment
to your team and that sport. To be fair, each player must make the
commitment to be present at each practice and contest throughout the
season before tryouts begin. This weighs heavily on the decisions
made by coaches when they determine their rosters.
A schedule is
given at the beginning of each team’s season and is also available
before tryouts upon request. (MORE)
