Motivated by a memory
Big 10 champs for the second year in a row and ranked among the top teams in New York state, the Albany
High School girls' basketball team is looking ahead to big things in the
postseason, which begins with a Section II Class AA quarterfinal game at
home Friday, Feb. 24. Yet, coach Kelly Haggerty-MacNabb and her players still are
motivated by a difficult memory during what has been the Lady Falcons'
best season in 14 years. (MORE)

10 championships on Jan. 28. She won the 55 meters at that event and

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)
