NorthCountrySports.net claims it will be broadcasting Friday's regional basketball games in the North Country featuring Averill Park and Maple Hill, so I figured, why not host a live chat for all the other folks stuck in Rensselaer County listening to the broadcast.

Click the link above to be redirected to the North Country Sports website, which has a blue box for broadcasts near the top of the page on the right-hand side.

The Averill Park girls tip off Friday at 6 p.m. and the Maple Hill boys will follow at 7:45 p.m., so join the chat at 6 p.m. and stick around until the Maple Hill game is over.



Saturday, I'll be covering the Maple Hill girls and the CBA boys and we will also staff the Watervliet and Shen girls games.
We're hoping to have stringers from the North Country send us stories for the Averill Park girls and Maple Hill boys.
