On Feb. 16, the Berne-Knox-Westerlo boys basketball team was itching to get back on the hardwood since COVID-19 hit. The State, which designated basketball as a “high-risk” sport, finally gave the sport the green light with the help from Albany County and BKW school board to return. Now the Bulldogs have a season, 16 games in 22 days, it all started at Hoosic Valley High School. The Bulldogs led but the Indians made adjustments to beat the Bulldogs 60 to 52.
