GAMES TO WATCH:
Saratoga Springs at Shenendehowa:  The rivalry between these two schools 13 miles apart features two squads that won convincingly in their Week 1 matches.  Wes Englintine should be a lot of fun to watch, throwing 3 touchdowns in the Blue Streaks win over Niskayuna in Week 1.  The Plainsmen built on a 28-20 halftime lead over Guilderland, thanks in part to Griffin Wallner, who scored 2 second half touchdowns for Shen.  

Troy at Guilderland: Troy easily handed Columbia a loss last Friday, but this week won't be as easy.  The test for the defending State Champions increases with a road trip to Guilderland.  The Dutchmen played competitive with Shenendehowa last week, but couldn't muster the comeback to fall to 0-1 on the season.  

Hudson at Schuylerville: Hudson had their home debut spoiled by the defending Class B State Champions last week, now has to go on the road to Schuylerville.  It's been well documented about the short roster at Schuylerville, but when healthy, they are a strong bunch.  This was proven last Friday when they won in Rotterdam over the Schalmont Sabres, who will be playing in another game to watch.

Schalmont at Glens Falls: So after dropping their opening game against Schuylerville 47-14, the Sabres travel up to Glens Falls, where they will watch the defending State Champions play their first home game since the Sectional Semifinals last year.  It'll be a loud environment at Putt LaMay field for sure.

Holy Trinity at Mechanicville: Mechanicville's offense exploded in their Week 1 game against Fonda-Fultonville.  Holy Trinity will be a stronger challenge, but they need to put up more than the 13 points that put up against Chatham last week.  The winner has a stronger case to host come Week 8 of the playoffs.
