“This was a big early season match against one of our toughest Southern Division rivals this year. The team really stepped up their game after our non-league match against Schuylerville last Tuesday where we missed a lot of spares and didn’t score very well. Hoosic Valley got off to a good start in the first game, but we kept up with them and then pulled away in the second half of the game to win by 222 pins. In the second game Hoosick Falls kept up the good scoring and won by 202 pins. In the third game Hoosick Falls got off to a slow start and Hoosic Valley got off to a good start, and it looked like they were going to win the last game, but Hoosick Falls rallied in the 9th and 10th frames to win the last game by 58 pins. This win will help build their confidence for the rest of the season even though the team must continue to work hard to put up these scores from match to match,” said Coach Lang.
