The Voorheesville Varsity Boys Basketball Team had a great last three games in their 09-10-basketball season. In their game on Friday February 26th against Greenville, Voorheesville took the game 58-42 where Chris Castren (senior) sparked a 20-6 first quarter run with two steals and breakaway layups, and Ethan Mackey (senior) scored 8 of his 17 in the first quarter eventually leading to the winning of that game. Coming up behind Ethan, Senior Nick Crawford scored 13 points to help the team to their victory.
In the second game, played on Saturday February 27th against Canajoharie, it was a close game but Voorheesville ended taking the win, 57-53. In the game Senior Ethan Mackey recorded his 1,000th career point and finished with 26 points, so he now has 1,005 in his whole high school career. Doing well for Canajoharie, Peyton Stahler poured in 21 points and Dane O’Neil added 13, but it was not enough to keep the Blackbirds from taking the win.
In the third and final game against Hoosick Falls at the Glens Falls Civic Center on Wednesday March 3, which was the Class C semifinal, the boys fell behind Hoosick Falls in the first and second quarter and could never come back, leading to the victory of Hoosick Falls by a score of 59-42. It was a sad loss for seniors on the team because it was their last chance and last game they would ever play in their high school careers. The boys overall had a great season this year, winning most of their games and ending the on good terms knowing they tried their hardest in every game this season.
