Hudson Valley Community College

No offense to the fine people of Binghamton but the New York State Public High School Athletic Association boys basketball championship is back where it belongs, Glens Falls. The championship left the north country for the southern tier in 2017. A few years and a pandemic later, the boys are back home at the Cool Insuring Arena. The girls basketball championships continue to enjoy the awesome facilities at Hudson Valley Community College. Let's take a look at which Section II teams are playing this weekend.

Green Tech should win the Class AA Boys’ basketball Section II Title on Saturday in Glens Falls, but do not sleep on CBA.

Wednesday on The Drive with Charlie & Dan, we had the pleasure of hanging out with the Tamarac High School boys basketball coach, Eric Medved, the organizer of this weekend's tournament. Yes, we talked about Tamarac getting off to a 3-0 start and how great the kids on his team are but this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, mean way more to Coach Medved than a couple of basketball games.

Since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officially approved the Pfizer vaccine, it was announced that all students attending in-person classes at SUNY (State University of New York) must be vaccinated for COVID-19. This includes both two-year and four-year institutions.

Hudson Valley Community College announced that it's making all the necessary preparations for fall classes. In addition, HVCC also announced that they aren't raising tuition rates for the upcoming semester to help students and families affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

Yesterday, Hudson Valley Community College graduated its largest class in the history of the school with 2,325 students walking the stage.  One of those fine young  - errr - old graduates was yours truly.
