GALWAY Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake senior setter Claire Isaksen could see the difference during the second non-league volleyball match between her team and Galway.
“We played them earlier in the season,” Isaksen said Saturday after the Spartans’ three-set win in the Eagles’ gym. “They’ve improved so much.”
That was the objective when Galway coach Mike Glenn set up a series of non-league matches between his Class D squad and some of the best the Suburban Council has to offer.
Class A-sized Burnt Hills won Saturday’s match 25-10, 25-11, 25-19, after prevailing against the Eagles on March 27 by scores of 25-5, 25-17, 25-8.

SCHENECTADY Ballston Spa senior Anna Pilkey drilled the ball hard into the Schenectady defense several times early in Wednesday’s Suburban Council volleyball match at the Pat Riley Sports Center.
Later on, she continued to hammer, but also scored a few more points on well-placed dinks.
“When I was a sophomore, I just hit the ball,” the Scotties’ co-captain said after her team had rallied for a 3-2 win over the Patriots. “I wanted to catch them on their heels so I threw a tip in there to trick them, or I smashed it. I have added tools to my repertoire.”

ALBANY Fun’s over for the UAlbany men’s lacrosse team.
The Great Danes grabbed footballs instead of sticks when they took to the practice field last Friday for an hour and a half of spirited two-hand touch, then got the weekend off to play golf some performing well, others “personally, not that great,” senior attack Ron John said, referring to himself with a laugh.
But fun time is over, and crunch time has started for UAlbany, with three games in eight days to close the regular season, by virtue of the big rematch game at Vermont having been postponed from April 16 to April 28.

With more and more New Yorkers getting their COVID-19 vaccines, Saratoga County school administrators wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the dedication of more than 50 school nurses who participated in closed PODs for educators over the last two months.
These PODs, which stands for Point of Dispensing, are temporary sites in the community where vaccines can be quickly administered to people in large numbers. Recently, several PODs ran through a partnership between Saratoga County Public Health Services, Saratoga County schools and WSWHE BOCES.
Just about every Friday from Jan. 29 until April 16, happy educators could be seen leaving PODs at the WSWHE BOCES Ballard Road Conference Center or Ballard Elementary School in Wilton, knowing that they had received their vaccine and were a step closer toward returning our schoolsâ classrooms to normal.
