Our week #4 game against “A” Amsterdam is replaced by a Liberty Division game at home against Troy HS. This is the result of the reconfigured AA enrollment numbers by the NYSPHSAA.
Also, our Week #3 Varsity game at Colonie HS will LIKELY be a Thursday Night game due to Rosh HaShanah. Please note that these changes are likely, but our schedule still remains tentative.
New York State has recently changed the enrollment threshold used as the cut off between Class AA and Class A for football. As a result, Troy will move back up to the AA’s. Our schedule will subsequently change as well. Once it is finalized, I will make it available.
The following is the TENTATIVE Varsity schedule for 2010. Week #1 @ CBA**. Week #2 Niskayuna. Week #3 @ Colonie. Week #4 Amsterdam**. Week #5 @ Schenectady. Week #6 Shaker. Week #7 @ LaSalle. Non Liberty League games are designated with **.
The JV schedule would have the same opponents, just opposite field sites as the Varsity game.
