NYSPHSAA Class D Regional Semifinals
Fort Edward Flying Forts vs. Moriah Vikings - 6PM at SUNY Plattsburgh's Fieldhouse
Press Republican Preview
Post-Star Preview
If Fort Edward wants to make it back to the Hudson Valley Community College next week, they need to do something no other team has done so far this season.
Beat the Moriah Vikings.
The Moriah Vikings come out of the Northern Athletic Conference Division II with a 19-0 record after beating Elizabethtown-Lewis 46-26 in the Section 7 title game. They are led by Madison Stahl, who scored 11 points in the title game. She has a 15.2ppg average.
Taylor Sprague and Sarah Slattery are also key contributors, both with better than 7 points per game. Slattery scored 11 points in the game against Elizabethtown. And you have to watch out for Lauren Cross, who developed into a 3-point threat with her four 3's on Saturday for a total of 14 points.
The Vikings outscored Elizabethtown 17-1 in the 1st Quarter, a start that Fort Edward needs to be prepared for.
The Flying Forts had to survive a surge by the Fort Ann Cardinals in their title game on Saturday, prevailing 43-39. Alexis Thomas led the Flying Forts with 18 points, and Brittany Sardina scored 7. For the season, Thomas leads the Forts with 15 points per game, and Sardina is their second top scorer, with a 8.8 point average.
Kali Knapp is the Forts best three point threat, dropping 23 from beyond the arch this season.
For the Flying Forts to make it to the Regional finals game this Saturday at SUNY Canton, they need to put together a team effort, and to prevent the Vikings from coming out hot out of the gate. A 17-1 first quarter in this kind of game will be devastating for the Forts.
Coverage of this game will be available on 1230 FOX Sports Radio beginning at 5:45PM.

NCAA Picks - Sweet 16 Thursday Night
Another Thursday in March means another round of March Madness, and this time March Madness comes to the North Country, airing live on 1410 CBS Sports Radio (WENU-AM) starting at 7PM both tonight and tomorrow night.
In celebration of the Sweet 16, let's pick the four games that will be coming our way tonight.
East: (3) Marquette vs. (2) Miami (FL) - 7:15PM
For the most part, these two teams put up similar stats, although Miami holds a defensive rebounding advantage. This game could come down to who cleans the glass efficiently. Miami can be a more dangerous team behind the arch, shooting 36% compared to Marquette's 30%. This could become an issue in a late game situation if Marquette finds themselves down.
Pick: Miami (FL), 74-62
West: (6) Arizona vs. (2) Ohio State - 7:47PM
This game should be a battle between a defensive team and an offensive team. Ohio State's 70.3 points per game is less than Arizona's 73.5 points per game, but where Ohio State excels is their defense. At 58.8 points per game, the defense has shut down many teams, forcing them to shoot less than 40% from the field and less than 1/3 conversion rate on the 3 pointers. Deshaun Thomas has not scored fewer than 10 points in any game this season, including a 19 point effort when Ohio State played U-Albany on November 11th. Mark Lyons will be a threat for the Wildcats, scoring 15.4 points per game this season, including his season high of 27 when the Wildcats ended the Cinderella story of Harvard last week. It should be a close match throughout.
Pick: Ohio State, 66-64.
East: (1) Indiana vs. (4) Syracuse - 9:45PM
Syracuse is another under 60 points per game defensive team, but will have to find a way slow down a hot Indiana Hoosier team that puts up nearly 80 points per game. The Hoosiers can shoot nearly 49% from the field and 40% from behind the arch. Although the Orange may have a good defense when it comes to stopping the 3, doing so may open the door for the high percentage shots. Syracuse has one of the better offensive rebound figures of the 16 teams in the tournament, but ultimately it will come down to stopping Indiana's key scorers, Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller and Christian Watford. C.J. Fair will be put to work in this game for the Orange.
Pick: Indiana, 76-61.
West: (9) Wichita State vs. (13) LaSalle - 10:17PM
The Cinderella run of LaSalle now brings them to Los Angeles where they will have to face Wichita State. LaSalle is a team that can hit well from the field, but doesn't defend too well within the arch, allowing about the same percentage as they shoot themselves. This will become an issue if Wichita State gets hot, shooting 44% from the field. Rebounding could become an issue, as well, with Wichita State outrebounding LaSalle by a wide margin. Ramon Galloway is a strong player on the court for the Explorers, scoring 17.4 points per game, and has three other weapons he can distribute the ball to for an even scoring attack. Cleanthony Early also needs to be watched for the Shockers, scoring 13.9 points per game in only 24.5 minutes per game.
Pick: LaSalle, 71-70.
Be sure to listen along with 1410 CBS Sports Radio and join us on Facebook as we talk about the games all night. And be sure to tune in tomorrow for these great games:
Midwest: (12) Oregon vs. (1) Louisville - 7:15PM
South: (4) Michigan vs. (1) Kansas - 7:37PM
Midwest: (3) Michigan State vs. (2) Duke - 9:45PM
South: (15) Florida-Gulf Coast University vs. (3) Florida - 9:57PM

NCAA Tournament: U-Albany gets 15-seed, Face Duke Blue Devils.
The University of Albany Great Danes will be dancing for their third time in school history after winning the Automatic Bid courtesy of its America East title. In the brackets just released this evening, the Great Danes are seeded #15 in the Midwest Region.
They will face the #2-seeded Duke Blue Devils this Friday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. Tip is scheduled for 12:15pm, and will air on CBS (Locally, WRGB Channel 6).
For the Great Danes, it will be the first time since making it to the tournament in 2007, where they drew Virginia and was outscored 45-25 in the first half before losing 84-57. This was one year after the first appearance of the Great Danes in the Big Dance, where they drew #1 seeded Connecticut, and for 33 minutes threatened to become the first team to ever knock off a #1 seed as a #16 seed.

Sectionals: Girls Basketball
GIRLS BASKETBALL
A busy week of Girls Basketball games begins later this week as teams fight their way to make it to Hudson Valley Community College first for the Sectional title, then later on back to HVCC for the State Title.
In Class A, the South Glens Falls Bulldogs get the distinction of playing in the lone Opening Round game as they host the #9 seeded Amsterdam Rugged Rams this Wednesday with the hopes of advancing to play the #1 seed Troy on Saturday.
The Bulldogs are one of four Foothills Council Class A teams to make it to Sectionals. Council-winning Queensbury gets the #4 seed, and will travel to Troy to play Mohonasen in the first of the 1/8 and 4/5 doubleheader at Troy High this Saturday night. The Glens Falls Indians are the #6 seed, and will head to Holy Names to face #3 seed Averill Park in the first game there on Saturday, with Holy Names then hosting #7 seed Scotia.
Fellow Foothills Council team the Hudson Falls Tigers (#6 seed) will get to host a game in the Class B first round, as they face #11 seed Hudson on Wednesday. Johnstown (#7) and Broadalbin-Perth (#9) also earned a berth into the tournament. Schuylerville made it into the Round of 16 after their play-in win against Emma Williard, but will have a tough match on Tuesday as they travel down the Hudson River to face #1 seed Watervliet. Corinth also had to play their way into the Round of 16 after their 42-39 win over Leadership, and will travel to #2 seed Tamarac on Wednesday.
In Class C, Lake George (#9) and Greenwich (#11) make up the local teams playing in the Round of 16. The bracket is led by the #1 seed Hoosic Valley, who has looked good all season long, losing only one game by one point against Class A's Scotia. Both local teams will have to hit the road for their 1st round game, as Lake George makes the long trek to Fort Plain (#8) in Montgomery County on Tuesday night. Greenwich's trek is easier, as they will travel to Waterford (#6) for their game on Tuesday. Hoosick Falls, a team we covered when they lost to Class A's Glens Falls in December, gets the #4 seed and hosts Voorheesville on Tuesday.
Even before winning the Adirondack League Title, the Fort Edward girls earned the respect of the Section II seeding committee and gained the #1 seed in Class D. The Flying Forts have run the table, including a narrow 1 point victory over Argyle back in December. They'll face the winner of Germantown/North Warren this Friday at Fort Edward High. Warrensburg (#4) also will be playing at Fort Edward this Friday, as they play #5 seeded Northville. Fort Ann is the #2 seed, and will play host to the Quarterfinals round of the lower bracket when they play the winner of the Hartford/New Lebanon 7/10 match this Friday. And Argyle (#3) wraps up the local contingent playing in sectionals, as they play the winner of Bolton/Heatly on Friday.
Like with the boys, we're keeping up with the girls brackets as it's possible we will be broadcasting one of the semifinals next week. Be sure to listen this Wednesday when we bring you the Section II Division II final in Boys Hockey (5:30pm) to find out where we'll be next week!

Sectionals: Boys Basketball
It's a busy time of the year for Winter High School Sports.
Basketball Sectionals get under way tonight, and so too does the Semifinal round of the Section II Division I Boys Hockey tournament.
The big marquee matchup will be the Adirondack League title matchup tonight when the Lake George Warriors and the Argyle Scots meet up on the court at SUNY Adirondack at 7:30pm. Joey Lufkin and Joel Wincowski have both been lighting it up for their respective clubs all season long.
In their first meeting of the year, Wincowski was held to 26 points, whereas Lufkin scored 47 as the Scots gave the Warriors their first and only loss of the season. It was the closest game both teams have had all season long.
In Class A, the Glens Falls Indians get a first round bye as the #3 seed. They'll face the winner of the Bishop Gibbons/Averill Park game next Sunday at Hudson Valley Community College in the Quarterfinals. South Glens Falls also gets a first round bye, and will face Lansingburgh in the earlier game at HVCC. Queensbury will host Amsterdam in the first round, with a 7PM start on Wednesday night. The winner of that game will have to face the #2 seed, Burnt Hills on Sunday. The overall seed is Scotia, who ran the table in the Foothills Council and looked tough in all their conference encounters.
Meanwhile, 18 teams will be merged down to 16 in Class B with two games on the docket today. Tamarac travels to Greenville and Granville travels over the hills and mountains to play Corinth. Tamarac and Greenville are fighting for the right to play Watervliet, the disputed #1 seed in the class after they had to vacate some wins earlier in the season due to a player on their roster not living in the school district's boundaries. Locally, Hudson Falls gets a 14-seed, and will have to travel to Mekeel Christian in Scotia. And Schuylerville is the 2-seed, and will host the winner of the Granville/Corinth game on Tuesday.
19 becomes 16 in Class C with three games today. Hadley-Luzurne will face Mayfield tonight at 7PM as they hope to make the trek to Greenwich in the Sweet 16 on Tuesday. Cambridge travels to Spa Catholic tomorrow for the right to play #2 seed Lake George on Tuesday. Hoosic Valley out of the Warsaren league is the #1 seed in the class. Their resume includes two losses, both against Class B's Schuylerville, and a narrow win against Class B Tamarac. They could look vulnerable, with close wins against #3 seed Greenwich both at home and away.
In Class D, all eyes are on the Argyle Scots, who may have the best shot of any local team of making it back to the Civic Center in Mid-March. But Loudonville Christian may have something to say about that. They're 17-1, Ranked #5 in the state in Class D, with their only loss being a 46-40 decision against Schroon Lake, an undefeated team out of Section VII that is currently ranked #3 in the state.
We're keeping an eye on all the games, and are looking to see who may make it to the Glens Falls Civic Center for the Semifinals and Finals coming up in two weeks.
Don't Forget: 1230 FOX Sports Radio will be bringing you the Section II Division II Championship game in Ice Hockey this Wednesday as the Glens Falls Indians and Queensbury Spartans meet up for the first time since the Stick Game in January. Coverage begins at 5:15PM for the 5:30PM Faceoff at the Glens Falls Civic Center.

Quick Hits: Phantoms and High School Sports
Phantoms: Cal Heeter's bad week
It's been a bad week for Cal Heeter.
The rookie goaltender for the Adirondack Phantoms was the net-minder for the start of Wednesday's Phantoms game against the Connecticut Whale.
He didn't make it to the 2nd intermission.
After being attacked by the Whale offense for four goals in the first 28 minutes of the game, Terry Murray benched Heeter and replaced him with the Phantoms newest goaltender, Brian Boucher.
It wasn't long after the game when Cal would find out that game would be his last for the time being in an Adirondack Phantoms jersey. Thursday afternoon it was reported that he was being sent down to the Trenton Titans of the ECHL. In newspaper reports with the Trentonian, Heeter remarks that he was surprised to be sent down.
In his first game in a Trenton Titans jersey, he allowed a goal that would go on to be the game-winner, and out of frustration, he shot the puck over the glass and into the stands, which immediately earned him a game ejection. According to Mike Ashmore of the Trentonian, a similar incident two seasons ago sat a player for 12 games, so Cal Heeter could be seeing some time off soon.
But the Flyers' move to send him down to the ECHL shouldn't be shocking. Since the Flyers picked up Brian Boucher, every game was going to be a tryout-style game. For the longest time, Scott Munroe was receiving the wrong end of the proverbial stick, but that changed when Heeter allowed 4 goals on 20 shots on Wednesday. Now granted, Heeter has made some phenomenal saves for the Phantoms, keeping them in games. And also that not all goals allowed can solely be blamed on the goaltender, but the Phantoms are in a situation they've seen far too much the last few years - near or in last place of the Eastern Conference.
Allowing 4 goals in two of your last three starts with a save percentage of under .900 isn't going to help climb out of the basement.
High School Hockey: League Roundup
Staying on the rink, it's a trying stretch for the Saratoga Springs Blue Streaks, who first get a taste of what could be a potential first round State Playoff opponent in Suffern, the defending Division I State Champion.
What the Blue Streaks learned is that they've got some work to do. They fell 3-1 on Friday night at Weibel Ave Rink, getting their lone goal from Nick Winters on the power play. The loss was the Blue Streaks second of the season, the first being against the team that tossed them from the state tournament in the semifinals last year, Pittsford.
It doesn't get easier this week for the Blue Streaks, with matchups coming up against Shenendehowa (Wednesday) and Shaker/Colonie (Friday). Shenendehowa's only league loss came against Saratoga earlier in the season, a 2-0 decision. Shaker/Colonie has yet to face the Blue Streaks, and have the home advantage for the game on Friday. Both games could go a long ways towards determining who takes the #1 seed in the upcoming Section II Sectionals, which gets under way in only two weeks.
It's also been a tough road for the Glens Falls Indians this season. Outside of winning The Stick over Queensbury on January 8th, their season has been rough, resulting in a 4-13-0 record. This past week, John Myers picked up a hat trick as the Indians went on to beat winless Guilderland/Mohonasen 5-0. However, the Indians could not keep up the winning momentum, as they fell to Niskayuna/Schenectady 8-1 on Saturday.
Regardless of how the Indians fare, they will have a Sectional matchup against Queensbury at the Glens Falls Civic Center on Thursday, February 21st. In the Spartans only game this week, Teddy Nolan got bruised badly by the Shenendehowa Plainsmen, allowing 4 goals in the first period before being replaced by Joe Robinson as the Plainsmen shut out the Spartans 5-0. Kevin Miles with a pair of goals for the Plainsmen in the win, as Brian Walter and Ben Farstad combined for a 16 save shutout. The Spartans have a couple tough league games this week, hosting CBA on Tuesday before traveling to LaSalle on Saturday.
High School Hoops: Game Preview
Our next game is on the hardwood as we see how the girls are doing in the Foothills Council. We're traveling across the Hudson River to South Glens Falls, where the Bulldogs will host the Glens Falls Indians on Tuesday night. This game will be a battle for second in the Council, with Glens Falls hosting a 4-2 league record and a 7-3 overall record vs. South Glens Falls' 5-3 league and 9-4 overall.
We last saw Glens Falls back in December as they won over non-conference foe Hoosick Falls 65-50. In that game, the Indians took advantage of a 21-8 third quarter on their way to victory. Skylar Girard led the Indians with 22 points, followed by Meresa Mason's 18. For the season, those two are the leading scorers, followed by Monica Harvey.
It's our first look at South High this season. Alexis Smith is the leading scorer, and is supplemented by Sydney Coon's team-leading 18 threes. Kasey O'Brien is to be watched from the free throw line.
The Indians won the first round, 41-36 at Glens Falls. Who'll take the 2nd round? Find out when our broadcast hits the airwaves at 7:15pm Tuesday night on FOX Sports Radio 1230.
It's been a bad week for Cal Heeter.
The rookie goaltender for the Adirondack Phantoms was the net-minder for the start of Wednesday's Phantoms game against the Connecticut Whale.
He didn't make it to the 2nd intermission.
After being attacked by the Whale offense for four goals in the first 28 minutes of the game, Terry Murray benched Heeter and replaced him with the Phantoms newest goaltender, Brian Boucher.
It wasn't long after the game when Cal would find out that game would be his last for the time being in an Adirondack Phantoms jersey. Thursday afternoon it was reported that he was being sent down to the Trenton Titans of the ECHL. In newspaper reports with the Trentonian, Heeter remarks that he was surprised to be sent down.
In his first game in a Trenton Titans jersey, he allowed a goal that would go on to be the game-winner, and out of frustration, he shot the puck over the glass and into the stands, which immediately earned him a game ejection. According to Mike Ashmore of the Trentonian, a similar incident two seasons ago sat a player for 12 games, so Cal Heeter could be seeing some time off soon.
But the Flyers' move to send him down to the ECHL shouldn't be shocking. Since the Flyers picked up Brian Boucher, every game was going to be a tryout-style game. For the longest time, Scott Munroe was receiving the wrong end of the proverbial stick, but that changed when Heeter allowed 4 goals on 20 shots on Wednesday. Now granted, Heeter has made some phenomenal saves for the Phantoms, keeping them in games. And also that not all goals allowed can solely be blamed on the goaltender, but the Phantoms are in a situation they've seen far too much the last few years - near or in last place of the Eastern Conference.

2012 in Review: Greatest Sports Moments heard on WMML
It's been a big year for us here at FOX Sports Radio 1230. From a programming standpoint, we added New York Mets baseball, Buffalo Bills football, IndyCar racing and started producing our own High School Sports broadcasts. And with new programming coming in 2013, it should continue to be a growing year for FOX Sports Radio 1230.
These ventures have produced memorable moments that should be remembered long after the ball drops to usher in 2013. Here's our favorites.
Takuma Sato crashes in the final lap, Dario Franchitti wins the Indy 500.
In a wild Indianapolis 500, Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti battled for first positioning in the final 5 laps, with Franchitti winning the battle. Takuma Sato moved up to be 2nd. Wanting the win in the final lap, Sato tried to be aggressive, taking an inside path, but lost control and spun out, forcing a yellow which allowed Franchitti to cruise to the finish, with teammate Scott Dixon retaking 2nd on the crash.
Sam Sax layup with 2.2 seconds left to go
In a game dominated with runs, the Glens Falls Indians found themselves with the basketball with 20 seconds left on the clock in a tie game. After a timeout, the Indians made good work of their sideline discussion as Cam Girard started driving the lane, but then dished the ball to a wide-open Sam Sax who layed it in with 2.2 seconds left to go to beat the Queensbury Spartans 56-54 in the opener of the Foothills Council.
Warrensburg wins the game with 30 seconds left
The Warrensburg Burghers found themselves trailing throughout the game, but would take the lead when it mattered the most. After watching a punt get blocked and returned for a touchdown, and then seeing Issac Isom run on by for a touchdown, the Burghers were looking for a last moment miracle, and it came with just under 30 seconds left. The Burghers ran the ball in for the touchdown, and then converted a 2 point conversion to bring them a 14-13 win over the Salem Generals.
Adam Greenberg gets an official at-bat.
On July 7th, 2005, Adam Greenberg was up to bat in his first major-league plate appearance for the Chicago Cubs, facing Florida Marlins pitcher Valerio de los Santos. He was beaned in the back of his head on the very first pitch, resulting in a mild concussion that took him out of the game, never recording an official at-bat. The Miami Marlins signed Greenberg to a one-day contract, and in the 6th inning on October 2nd, he made an appearance against the New York Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey. Greenberg struck-out on three pitches, but gained a loud round of applause from the Miami fans both before and after his now official Major League at-bat. Greenberg has since signed a minor-league contract with the Baltimore Orioles.
Johan Santana does what no other Met has done before
Tom Seaver came close, on two occasions. The drought had lasted long enough that Howie Rose had counted every game where the New York Mets failed to achieve this award. Who knew that it would be a Friday night, the first of June, game #8020 in the regular-season history of the Mets, that this achievement would finally come. Johan Santana kept the St. Louis Cardinals at bay, with a little help from the officials. Carlos Beltran hit a pitch that appeared to hit the chalk, but was ruled foul by the umpire. The no-hit continued, and the Mets would go on to win 8-0.
Glens Falls makes it to the Dome.
The Glens Falls Indians had not claimed the Section II title since 1993, and despite dropping from Class A to Class B, it appeared that it would be a tough task for them to accomplish this year after their first week loss to Schalmont. But the Indians bounced back from the loss, and made it to the sectionals as the #2 seed in the West Division. After easy victories against Albany Academy and Schuylerville, the Indians were faced with a rematch against Schalmont in the Class B Super Bowl. Being called underdogs, the Indians stuck with Schalmont, and a big play from Cam Girard to Mike LaNoir carried the Indians to victory and a berth to the state regionals. Peru was the next victim of the Indians, earning them a trip to Dietz Stadium to face the Marlboro Dukes. Long plays were the Indians' best friend in the semifinals, earning them their first ever trip to the state championship at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. But the Indians run would end as runner-up, as the size and strength of the Maine-Endwell Spartans proved to be too tough for the Indians.
