One play might sum up last Friday night’s, January 15, girls WASAREN League game between home standing Hoosick Falls Central School and the visiting Granville Golden Horde. With 3:20 left in the third quarter, a Horde player drove to the rim and put up a shot which bounced off the top of the backboard and fell through the net. The hoop was disallowed, but that was the kind of help the Granville players seemed to have all night as they cruised to a 47-31 victory.

by Gary Danforth
Last Friday night, January 8, the Hoosick Falls Central School girls basketball team came up just short in a very good effort against the Greenwich Witches in a 57-44 WASAREN League contest. In a game much closer than the final score indicated, Kerry Brannigan’s Panther five took GCS to the final minutes before this ball game was decided. With the loss, HFCS drops to 0-5 in league play and to 1-7, overall. But the effort was there on the part of HFCS.
