The spring season for the Guilderland Dutchmen, Voorheesville Blackbirds, and the Berne-Knox-Westerlo Bulldogs brought excitement to the field and in the stands, with some teams showing off their skills at state competitions.
It was hot and humid at Union-Endicott High School in Endicott for the New York State Public High School Athletic Association outdoor track and field championships. Guilderland sent three individual competitors and one relay team last Friday and Saturday.
It was a battle for the Guilderland girls’ lacrosse team last Saturday afternoon at Suffern Middle School against North Rockland from Section One. Guilderland had a late push in the second half, but the eight-goal difference after the first half was too much for the Dutch, who fell 13-10.
The outdoor track and field teams of Berne-Knox-Westerlo, Voorheesville and Guilderland sent many athletes to the state qualifiers last Thursday and Friday at Shenendehowa High School.
It was another classic matchup between Shenendehowa and Guilderland girls’ lacrosse. This time, the two teams met up in the Class A sectional final last Thursday afternoon at Mohonasen High School.
