While the weather outside is frightful, the basketball looks to be delightful this season. CSC got underway last week while the Tri Valley tips off this week. Plenty of good action lies ahead. We've seen so far that Cooperstown's boys and girls will be a force. West Canada is looking to continue from last season success, but then again, aren't both their teams always good? Mt. Markham is unbeaten early this season as is Proctor. However the Raiders lost a ton to graduation. The young kids will have to step up and support Deandre Preaster this season. In the Trivalley, New Hartford and Notre Dame lost key players to graduation. However both programs know how to win so expect them to be back. Watch out for VVS. Hall of fame coach Al Knapp is excited about this bunch. On the ladies side of things, New Hartford and Whitesboro will come to play no question.
What do you think? Just because I didn't mention your team doesn't mean they aren't on radar. Give us your thoughts. We'll blog once a week but I'll answer posts every day.
See you on the court!

FINAL New Hartford 69 Massena 44
Fast-breaking New Hartford is continuing their excellent play with layups by Ronnie Evans and Mike Kelly.
Massena can't seem to find the hoop, missing short jumpers and open layups.
With 4:40 remaining in the quarter, Ronnie Evans hit a jumper from the elbow to push the Spartans to a 62-38 lead.
New Hartford's face painted student section is passing their time during a time-out cheering along with the Spartan Cheerleaders.
With 3:15 left, New Hartford spreads the court and starts running down the shot-clock, sitting on their comfortable 62-40 lead.
Nothing seems to be going right for Massena when they throw the ball out-of-bounds during a three-on-one fast break opportunity.
Under 2 minutes now and New Hartford Coach John Randall begins to clear his bench, resting his starters for their game in less than 24 hours.
A Ronnie Evans fast-break layup with 1:38 remaining in the game all but seals the deal for the Spartans who coast to a huge Sectional victory. Final score 69-44.
New Hartford will play Glens Falls High Saturday March 10, 2007 (TOMORROW) at Manley Field House in Syracuse at 7:30 PM. The winner of this game will advance to the State Championship in Glens Falls next weekend.
