Niskayuna had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They strolled past the Queensbury Spartans with points to spare on Saturday, taking the game 61-42. Given the Silver Warriors' advantage in MaxPreps' New York basketball rankings (they are ranked 48th, while the Spartans are ranked 311th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Several Spartans players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Troy Jorgensen, who went 8-for-17 on his way to 17 points and four steals. Another player making a difference was Marcus Gooden, who posted seven points and three blocks.
Niskayuna has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-5 record this season. Queensbury has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 12-10 record this season.
Niskayuna will challenge Bethlehem Central at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Niskayuna will be up against Bethlehem Central's rather soft defense (which has allowed 54.95 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. Queensbury does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
