SCHENECTADY — The perfect season isn’t over quite yet for the Shaker High School girls tennis team, but it got that much sweeter Tuesday afternoon.

Shaker junior Cat Crummey defeated Emma Willard freshman Claire Schmitz in the Section II individual championship match, 6-3, 6-3, claiming her second straight Section II individual title at Sportime.

Shaker’s first doubles team of junior Catherine Jenkins and freshman Shannon Mukerji, the No. 2 seeded entry, defeated Emma Willard’s top-seeded duo of Molly Goodman and Mitali Das, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, as the Blue Bison claimed the Section II doubles title as well.

It marked the first time since 2002 that a school has captured both the individual singles and doubles champions in Section II. Shaker did that in 2002 (Amanda O’Hearn; Emily Emerick & Joshleen Sandhu) and also in 2001 (O’Hearn; Emerick & Kim Paul).

The Blue Bison hit the trifecta with the Section II team title in both of those years as well, something Shaker has a shot at in 2010. Emma Willard and undefeated Shaker (12-0) will square off for the Section II Class AA team title Thursday at 2 p.m. in Schenectady’s Central Park.

“It’s amazing having five girls here and Cat winning and us too,” said Jenkins. “It’s really great and the school is really supportive of what we do.”

Crummey, who did not lose a set in sectional competition this year, will return to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association tournament for the third straight season. She was the Section II singles champion in 2009 and played on the second-place doubles team in 2008 along with Ali Coyle.

Tuesday’s championship match pitted her against Emma Willard’s Schmitz, who plays with Crummey in team tennis in the high school offseason.

“Claire and I are good friends, so it was fun to play against her. She’s a good player,” Crummey said. “It was definitely a match that I had to focus and play my game at.”

Schmitz, who will make her second straight trip to the state meet, as she placed third overall last year after losing to Crummey in semifinals, could not be all that mad after falling to her friend Crummey again in 2010.

“It doesn’t make it as tragic. It’s like, you know, she’s not meaning any harm, I guess,” Schmitz, at left, laughed.

In consolation action, Guilderland’s Gaby Peda, the No. 4 seed, upset Shenendehowa’s Jessica Macaluso, the No. 3 seed, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 to claim third place and a trip to the state tournament.

In doubles, the No. 7 seeded team from Shenendehowa, Taru Greene and Kristen Brayden, defeated Shaker’s No. 8 ranked team of Eleana Wolner and Molly O’Conner, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 to clinch third place and a berth in the state tournament.

The New York State tournament begins Nov. 6 at the East Side Racquet Club in Manlius.
Jenkins and Mukerji, who had never played doubles together until one week ago Monday, played an entertaining match in the doubles championship.

Emma Willard’s team of Das and Goodman took an early lead in the first set, but the Blue Bison stormed back to record a 6-4 triumph. The Jesters won the second match, but Jenkins and Mukerji adjusted their strategy and held on for the decisive 6-1 third set victory.

“I have a nasty habit of having to come back from huge deficits, so I think I kind of passed that on,” said Jenkins. “But we just really tried to focus and get it done and we were lucky enough to have that happen.”

“You can be down 5-0 or 40-love and you can always come back,” Mukerji said. “You can never give up in tennis.”

LATHAM — After losing its final two regular season games at home, the Shenendehowa High School football team, which at one point looked like a lock as the Empire Division’s No. 1 seed, lost out on hosting a Section II Class AA quarterfinal round playoff game.

That wound up being no problem at all for the road warriors.

Undefeated away from home this season, the Plainsmen played at Liberty Division No. 2 seed Shaker High Friday night. Shenendehowa used 197 all-purpose offensive yards and five total touchdowns from senior running back Bronson Greene to post a 48-6 victory on Arthur E. Walker Field at Shaker High School.

Shenendehowa (6-2), the Empire Division’s No. 3 seed, is now 5-0 on the road and just 1-2 at Steuerwald Stadium.

“I think we looked at it as two different seasons,” said Shenendehowa head coach Brent Steuerwald. “That season was over and now it’s a new season. We’re into the playoffs. It’s a brand-new season, a brand-new start.”

The Plainsmen will hit the road again Friday night to take on Empire Division No. 1 seed Ballston Spa (6-2) in a Class AA semifinal. Shen defeated the Scotties 7-0 at home in Week Three of the regular season.

“We’re road warriors. That puts us in a position where it’s not a novelty or a concern anymore,” said Steuerwald. “It’s a good attitude to have. It’s fun to play at home, but it’s really fun to win on the road.”


Greene put Shen on the board with a 40-yard touchdown run on the Plainsmen’s first drive of the game, but Shaker responded with an 11-play scoring drive.
 
Ted Van Galen connected with David Boyle on a 25-yard touchdown strike with 13 seconds remaining in the first quarter and Greene scored three times in the final 3:57 of the second as the Plainsmen pulled away for good.

“We had been saying if we lose this game, it was going to knock us out of the playoffs and we were going to end up like we had the last two years and no one wants to end up like that,” Greene, pictured at right, said. “What we’ve really been doing is picking ourselves up in practice. We had a great week of practice and we’ve just been going and using all the momentum we had.”

Following Shen’s 14-play scoring drive, which featured an 11-yard run by Greene on a fake punt attempt and ate up six and one half minutes of game clock, Tyler Rajeski sacked Shaker quarterback Ben Capeless for an eight-yard loss that led to a Blue Bison punt. Chris Walrath broke off a 78-yard run on the first play of Shen’s ensuing drive and Greene scored from five yards out on the very next play.

Shaker (6-2) threw three straight incomplete passes on its subsequent drive and Greene returned a punt 38 yards to the Shaker 14-yard line with 12 seconds remaining before halftime. Van Galen connected with Greene on a 14-yard touchdown pass on the next play.

Greene carried the ball 22 times for 171 yards and caught a pair of passes for 26 yards. Shen gained 342 rushing yards on 47 attempts.

“Bronson has been very consistent all year,” Steuerwald, pictured at left, said. “He’s a young man that gives us a top effort. We’re asking him to do everything but drive the bus home. He’s on offense, he’s on defense and he’s been a very good leader by his example as much as anything else.”

“In practice, we’ve been talking about the Super Bowl all week,” said Greene. “The seniors are really hyped up and we all want to go out there and be able to have a great senior year.”

Brien Bouyea covered the Queensbury at Averill Park game for us. Here is an excerpt from his story, but for the full scoop, check out Saturday's edition of The Record.


AVERILL PARK -- The recipe for disaster read like this for the Averill Park football team on Friday night: lost fumble, punt, interception, interception and interception. Those were the results of the Warriors’ five offensive possessions in the second half of their Class A quarterfinal against Queensbury.

The outcome was predictable.

The Spartans scored a pair of second-half touchdowns and took advantage of numerous Averill Park turnovers and other assorted gaffes en route to a 22-7 victory in the Section II playoffs, ending the Warriors hopes of a deep postseason run.

"It’s disappointing because we did some things well out there, but the turnovers were too much to overcome," Averill Park head coach Zach Gobel said. "We set up both of their touchdowns in the second half with our mistakes. This really could have been a different game."

SCHENECTADY -- For the Emma Willard School’s Mitali Das and Molly Goodman, along with Shaker’s Catherine Jenkins and Shannon Mukerji, the Section II girls tennis tournament is doubly challenging. Not only are they going up against the best talent in the area, they’re playing doubles for the first time this season.

Those four players are some of the best singles players in the area during the regular season, but when the season-ending individual tournament rolls around, their coaches have decided to pair them up as doubles teams.

"Jerry (Cuva, Shaker head coach) kind of told us ‘you guys are playing together’ and we were like, cool!" said Jenkins, pictured at left. "There really is no planning to it."

"Yesterday was the first time we played together," said Mukerji, pictured at right.


"So we’re just trying it out," Jenkins continued. "And we work pretty well together."

Jenkins and Mukerji entered the start of Tuesday’s individual competition as the No. 2 seed behind the Emma Willard duo of Das and Goodman, who also were joined together as a doubles team just for this tournament.

"Me and Mitali are friends, so that worked out nicely," said Goodman, a junior and a native of Schenectady, pictured below right. "Doubles is almost a completely different game than singles, so you almost have to like get used to different dynamics and different strategies."

Das, at left, a sophomore this year, and her older sister, Shibani, placed second in the doubles tournament in 2009.
Both teams certainly worked together well Tuesday, as they won first and second round matches by perfect 8-0 scores.

Mukerji, Goodman and Das stated that they were in part introduced to the sport by older sisters who had helped teach them about the game.

"I started beating her this summer," Mukerji laughed. "Before that, she would always crush me. We’re close."

Jenkins, who had attended the Albany Academy for Girls before transferring to Shaker as a freshman, saw tennis as a natural extension of her love for squash.

"I started playing when I was a younger kid, but when I came to Shaker, it was a new school and I wanted to be able to make friends pretty quickly so I decided to play tennis seriously," she said. "I’ve been playing squash since I was about six or seven years old, so that’s how I got started playing tennis."

These doubles teams may be on a collision course for the Section II individual championship match, but they may meet again as singles after that. Shaker has already advanced to the Section II Class AA team title match, but the semifinal between Shenendehowa and Emma Willard was postponed by rain last Thursday and will be made up sometime in the near future, depending on how the weather determines the outcome of the individual tournament. Play was briefly suspended early Tuesday morning after drizzle on the cold courts caused a slippery and unsafe surface.

Despite their lack of experience playing together, the Shaker duo is hoping to follow the long tradition of success the Blue Bison have had in singles competition.

"Our team is really competitive, so everyone trains really hard over the summer to try to get a good spot on the team," said Jenkins. "You know everyone else on your team is a really confident player, so you don’t feel any pressure during matches to win."

"You know everyone is working hard, so you want to work harder to stay above. We push each other," Mukerji said.

Section II Singles Tournament

The top two singles seeds in the 2010 tournament are also from Shaker and Emma Willard.

Shaker’s Cat Crummey, the defending Section II individual champion, is the No. 1 seed. Emma Willard’s Claire Schmitz, who finished No. 3 in the tournament a season ago, is the No. 2 seed.

Crummey won a pair of 8-0 matches Tuesday. Schmitz won her first match 8-1, followed by an 8-0 second round victory.

The top three singles players and the top three doubles teams advance to the New York State Tournament, which begins Nov. 6 at Eastside Racquet Club in Manlius.

Shaker has won 12 Section II singles titles since 1991, with players such as Kristen Odabashian, Amanda O’Hearn, Sarah Mayer and Jasleen Sandhu carrying the torch before Crummey.

And with a pair of doubles teams in the field, the Blue Bison are hoping for a Section II title sweep in 2010.

"Your objective is to get your players to the state championship," Cuva said. "That’s how you have a better shot. I have my No. 2 and 3 players and my No. 4 and 5 playing together as doubles."

Section II doubles and singles quarterfinal action continues today at Central Park beginning at 3 p.m. The semifinals and finals will be played Monday and Tuesday at Sportime in Schenectady.

TROY — Hundreds of Troy High alumni returned to campus for Saturday’s Liberty Division championship homecoming football game against Shaker.

So did the Troy High defense.

The Flying Horses, coming off a pair of hard-earned victories, held Shaker to 142 yards of total offense and just six first downs. Troy senior running back Jordan Canzeri rushed for 282 yards and three touchdowns on 26 attempts in a 34-0 victory in front of a standing-room only crowd on Edward C. Picken Field.

“It meant a lot. We knew a lot of people would be here and all of us talked about that,” Canzeri said. “We knew even more would be here since we were the last two undefeated teams going at it for the first seed and it was just great to get this and get a win like this because it just sends a message that we’re playing Troy High football from now on.”

Troy had struggled defensively each of the past two weeks, having to come from behind at Saratoga Springs in Week Five and giving up 336 passing yards in an overtime victory at Niskayuna last week.

"There was a lot of hype going into practice," said senior defensive back Dan Danahy, pictured above. "A little extra energy. It all paid off today. We put up a 0, not a 28."

Shaker quarterback Ben Capeless went 0-for-6 before completing his first pass and the Troy High defense did not allow a Blue Bison run of longer than 11 yards in the first half as the offense gradually relied on Canzeri to build its lead.

“We had to overcome the running game to start to make them pass,” said Troy High senior cornerback Evan Vadney. “And once they started throwing, we had just been repping it in practice over and over again. We know our coverages and we know where we need to be and we just got there and got it done.”

Vadney recovered a Shaker fumble early in the third quarter. Michael Pastore added a sack and Stephaun Grinage contributed with an interception of a Capeless pass later in the third as the Flying Horses began to pull away.

"We knew that it would be a battle but our main objective was to score early, stop them on ‘D’ with a three-and-out and score again," Canzeri said.

“(Defensive coordinator) Bobby Burns does a phenomenal job with our defense,” said Troy head coach Jack Burger. “He was very disappointed the last two weeks and he took it very personal. The kids think the world of Bobby and I think they went out and played hard obviously for themselves, but I think they played hard for coach Burns, too.”

"We practice a lot," Canzeri said. "Coach Burns helps us a lot. We go through all the looks and go through all the opponents’ plays. We knew we got thrown against a lot last week, so we just practiced, practiced, practice and we just played well."

Shatiek Lewis, a senior running back for Troy who sustained an ankle injury on his first rushing attempt at Saratoga Springs and did not play last week against Niskayuna, ran the ball three times for nine yards in Saturday’s game and did not play at all in the second half.

“Being on my own, I wish he was still in the backfield with me, but now I know how much I really have to work and how hard I really have to push myself,” Canzeri said.

Canzeri, one of Section II’s top home run hitters out of the backfield, collected seven runs of at least 16 yards in the game.

Troy (6-0, 7-0) clinched the Liberty Division’s No. 1 seed and will host Empire Division No. 4 Christian Brothers Academy (3-3, 4-3) in a Section II Class AA quarterfinal game Saturday.

Shaker (5-1, 6-1) earned the No. 2 seed and will host Empire Division No. 3 Shenendehowa (4-2, 5-2) Friday night.

“I think we’ll be a lot more sound,” Vadney, pictured above, said of his postseason expectations. “Most of our defense has been in position since last year. We have a lot of returnees. There are only a couple of new guys, so we’ve been there. We know what is going to come at us. I think we’ll do well.”

LATHAM — A banner hangs on the outfield fence of the baseball field at Shaker High School, a testament to the success of the Blue Bison football team this season.

“Who dat? 6-0.”

“I don’t really know who did that 6-0 sign out there, nobody really knows who is doing that, but there is a lot of buzz throughout the school with all the kids,” said senior running back and strong safety Sam Hyatt.

“It’s completely different this year,” senior middle linebacker Cole Lawton, pictured below, said. “Everybody knows who we are. Everybody knows who plays, who does what and who is part of the team. It’s just a really special feeling to be 6-0 and have this much accomplished and we’re not even done yet.”

 Shaker (5-0, 6-0) travels to Troy High (5-0, 6-0) Saturday afternoon in the Section II Class AA Liberty Division regular season finale, the biggest test of the year for either team to this point. Kickoff time, because of another test, the PSATs, has been moved back one hour to 2:30 p.m.

The winner of the game will clinch the No. 1 seed in the Liberty Division and the loser will be No. 2, but both teams are guaranteed a home playoff game in Week Eight.

The Blue Bison were ranked No. 24 in the latest New York State Sportswriters Association Class AA poll. Troy was slotted at No. 8 one week after holding off Niskayuna in overtime, 35-28.

Troy appeared in the Section II Class A Super Bowl a season ago, so this type of game is nothing new for the Flying Horses. But for Shaker, which last played a postseason game in 2005, Saturday’s showdown is a chance to show just how far the program has come under first-year head coach Greg Sheeler.

“It’s really something we’re taking day-by-day,” said senior cornerback Brendan Kisselback, pictured above. “We’re 6-0, they’re 6-0 and we’re both fighting for a spot. We already have homefield advantage, but this is a big game for us.”

Shaker last won a Section II football championship in 1969. That is the ultimate goal for the Blue Bison players, but a week-by-week mindset has served the team well so far.

“It’s something to be proud of, but we want to finish the season out before we start thinking of what we’ve done so far,” Hyatt, pictured above, said. “We want to advance in the playoffs and win some games before we start thinking about stuff like that.”

Shaker’s running attack has been paced by junior Kyle Bernard (83 atts., 519 yds., 6 TDs) and senior Conor Alund (39 atts., 404 yds., 5 TDs), who missed the first three games of the season with an injury.

Troy’s backfield features seniors Jordan Canzeri (93 atts., 799 yds., 13 TDs) and Shatiek Lewis (42 atts., 493 yds., 7 TDs), who has managed just one carry the last two games after sustaining an ankle injury at Saratoga Springs.

“We know Troy and the reputation they have as a physical football team,” Sheeler said. “They’ve been the most dominant team in the area the last few years, them and Burnt Hills, of course. We know it’s a big game, we know it’s their homecoming game and they’re going to be excited for it.”

“It’s a really good game just for us in general coming back from a couple of bad years,” Lawton said. “We can finally start to step up and show what we can really do and how good we really are. With the game, it’s going to be a great game. There’s not too much more to say. It’s going to be a great game.”

Shaker (5-0, 6-0)

at Troy (5-0, 6-0)

Saturday, 2:30 p.m.

Class AA Liberty Division

championship game

Bishop Maginn (2-1, 4-2) 

at Lansingburgh (3-0, 5-1)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Class A, Southeast Division

About Maginn: The Griffins posted a 47-21 victory over Scotia-Glenville last week to remain in the hunt for a home playoff game. Matthias McKinnon rushed for 218 yards and scored three touchdowns in last weeks’ game.
About ‘Burgh: Jake Luce, who shifted from offensive line to fullback in Week Four, has been instant offense for the Knights. He has gained 246 rushing yards on 29 attempts and has scored six touchdowns since the switch.
Notable: Lansingburgh can clinch the Southeast Division title outright with a victory. Maginn could potentially set up a three-way tie with ‘Burgh and Averill Park with a victory, but ‘Burgh currently owns the quarterpoint tiebreaker and could only be caught by Averill Park. Bishop Maginn won the last meeting between the teams, a 2008 regular season game, 22-16.

Albany Academy (3-0, 5-1) 

at Ravena (3-0, 5-1)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Class B, Reinfurt Division

championship game

About Academy: The Cadets will be without starting quarterback Hunter McCarthy for the rest of the season – he injured his knee in a game against Hudson on a rainy night at UAlbany – but feature Section II’s top running back, Zay Richardson. Richardson has rushed for 1383 yards on 101 attempts and has scored 26 all-purpose touchdowns in 2010.
About Ravena: The Indians’ two-headed rushing attack of Corey Watts (70 atts., 565 yds.) and Darryl Ford (47 atts., 348 yds.) has proven effective through six weeks.
Notable: The winner of this game secures the No. 1 seed in the Reinfurt Division. The loser will be No. 2. Both schools have lost non-division games to Class A teams. Academy fell against Albany rival Bishop Maginn and Ravena lost at Averill Park last week. Ravena has won four of the past six games against Academy, but the Cadets won the most recent meeting, a 52-35 decision in a regular season game last year.

Mechanicville (3-2, 3-3) 

at Tamarac (4-1, 5-1)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Class C, North Division

About Mechanicville: The Red Raiders have been relying on running backs David Funaro (87 atts., 424 yds., 4 TDs) and J.J. Abele (56 atts., 406 yds., 5 TDs) on a 3-1 stretch in the last four weeks.
About Tamarac: The Bengals made due without quarterback Nick Casale last week, posting a narrow 14-12 victory over Corinth. Tamarac is dealing with plenty of injures in 2010, as Nick Feldmaier, the Bengals projected No. 1 running back, has not played since Week Two.
Notable: The Red Raiders missed the playoffs a season ago on a quarterpoint tiebreaker but they control their destiny this year. A victory over the Bengals could potentially vault Mechanicville into the No. 3 seed, although Granville, also alive, is the third team in the race for the final two berths out of the Class C North Division. If Mechanicville wins and Granville loses, Mechanicville and Tamarac are in the playoffs. If Granville wins, a three-way tie is possible. It would be decided by quarterpoints scored against common Class C opponents.

Whitehall (4-1, 4-1) 

at Rensselaer (4-1, 4-1)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Class D

second-place game

About Whitehall: Josh Hoagland is Section II’s fifth-leading rusher by yards gained, with 930 yards on 104 attempts. What makes the feat that much more incredible is that Whitehall had a bye in Week Four because of the odd number of teams in Class D. He has rushed for at least 161 yards in every game except the Railroaders’ only loss, which came against undefeated Cambridge.
About Rensselaer: The Rams, two-time defending Section II Class D champions, bounced back from a 30-0 defeat to Cambridge by beating Bishop Gibbons 23-0 last Saturday in Schenectady. Senior quarterback Tim Foust has passed for 519 yards and 11 touchdowns this season.
Notable: The winner of this game clinches the No. 2 seed and a ‘bye’ in Week Eight, a game against a non-playoff Class C team. The loser will be the No. 3 seed and will host Class D’s No. 6 seed, most likely Warrensburg, in the opening round of the Class D playoffs next week.

Voorheesville (2-2, 4-2) 

at Watervliet (4-1, 4-2)

Saturday, 2 p.m.

Class C, South Division

About Voorheesville: Quarterback Ryan Duncan is the fifth-most prolific passer in Section II this season, having tossed for 772 yards and seven touchdowns. Running back Max Schuster has gained 662 yards on 99 attempts. He scored four touchdowns last week against Taconic Hills.
About ‘Vliet: The Cannoneers posted a 16-8 victory at Coxsackie-Athens last week. Quarterback Brandon Legault leads one of the section’s most pass-happy offenses. Legault has passed for 817 yards and seven touchdowns – against seven interceptions – this season.
Notable: The Blackbirds are one of four teams - Canajoharie, Coxsackie-Athens and Taconic Hills are the other three – still alive for the final playoff berth in Class C’s South Division. A victory at ‘Vliet would put Voorheesville in good shape to clinch the No. 4 seed, although Canajoharie has a slight lead in quarterpoints. Unless Fonda-Fultonville loses at Taconic Hills this week, Watervliet looks like a lock for the No. 3 seed in the South Division and a first-round playoff game at North Division No. 2 Greenwich.

Schalmont (4-0, 6-0) 

at Schuylerville (3-1, 5-1)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Class B, West Division

championship game

Notable: The winner of this game secures the No. 1 seed in the West Division.

Saratoga Springs (3-2, 3-3) 

at Shenendehowa (4-1, 5-1)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Class AA, Empire Division

Notable: One of the area’s premier rivalry games will also have Empire Division seeding ramifications, especially if the Blue Streaks can pull off the upset at Steuerwald Stadium.

Schenectady (2-3, 2-4) 

at Colonie (2-3, 3-3)

Friday, 7 p.m.

Class AA, Liberty Division

elimination game

Notable: It’s a win-and-get-in situation for both teams. The winner will be the Liberty Division’s No. 4 seed in the Class AA playoffs. The loser? Well, they’ll be playing a crossover game in Week Eight.
