Albany Academy withstood a late charge from Shaker to grab a 52-46 victory in a non-league tilt. After a slow start in the opening frame, the Cadets used a suffocating defense to gain control of the contest outscoring the Blue Bison 29-11 in the middle two frames.
 
Shaker jumped all over the Cadets at the start racing out to a 9-0 lead after an Andrew Church three pointer. The Blue Bison led after one period 13-8.
 
Defense reigned supreme in the 2nd quarter as the teams scored a scant 14 points. Albany Academy outscored Shaker 12-2 to grab the halftime lead, 20-15 after trailing by nine points early in the game. They didn't allow a Shaker shot attempt until there was 2:50 left in the second quarter. Their pressure defense wouldn't allow the Blue Bison to set up the offense.
 
Albany Academy finally got some offense going in the third quarter, scoring 17 points, and grabbed a 37-24 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Troy cruised past Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake 74-52 in a Class AA playoff quarter-final tilt at Hudson Valley Community College on Saturday.

The Flying Horses set the tone early, jumping out to a 15-7 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. Senior forward Stetson Merritt led all scorers with 32 points. Kayne Behan and Josiah Acevedo provided additional firepower, scoring 12 and 10 points, respectively.

Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake were led by a strong effort from John Klopher, who finished with 24 points, including five three-pointers. Gus Fusco added nine points.

Troy extended its lead in the second and third quarters, outscoring BHBL 45-28 during that stretch. A late push by Burnt Hills in the fourth quarter wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit, as Troy secured a comfortable 22-point victory.

With this win, #3 Troy advances to the next round of the playoffs to play #2 La Salle at Cool Insuring Arena on 3/6 at 5 pm.
