BURNT HILLS The only surprise Friday night in the Suburban Council boys’ volleyball championship game between Shenendehowa and Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake was that it didn’t go to a fifth-and-final game.
As it turned out, the Plainsmen only needed four sets to earn the Suburban Council title, as Shenendehowa topped Burnt Hills 28-26, 21-25, 25-19, 25-20.

CLIFTON PARK Bennett Wilson was right in the middle of a Shenendehowa hitting display Thursday which included a kill to finish off the second set in what would be a Suburban Council boys’ volleyball sweep of Niskayuna.
Wilson is unlike the others on Shenendehowa’s front-line cast, though, and different from the rest of the Plainsmen, too.
“The running joke is how I skipped the ladder and took the stairs instead,” Wilson said of his status as Shenendehowa’s only freshman.
He’s not just the lone ninth-grader on this season’s “Fall II” varsity team, but the first ninth-grader to play for 10-year Plainsmen coach John Coletta.
