The Schuylerville football team opened the 1950 season at home under the lights with Stillwater as their opponent. However, the weather was not as kind to us as it was in the night game of last year when we were fortunate in having an almost summer night. This game with Stillwater was played in the cold and rain before some 250 shivering spectators who braved the cold rain. The ' Black Horses downed a strong Stillwater six by a score of 26 to 0. In the second game of the season the Black Horses traveled to Salem to tangle wtih Coach Bob Kana's powerful Generals. It was a ding dong bottle for the first half with the score being 20 to 18 when the half ended. At the start of the second half Schuylerville suffered several injuries, most serious being quarterback Ed Lenz who received a dislocated and fractured elbow and was out for the remainder of the football season. In the second half Salem pulled ahead to win by a 40 to 18 margin. The boys who saw a lot of action this season were George Ladds and Bill Nevins at center, Buzz Tynan, Gil Irish and Glen Bean at the end positions and Ed Lenz, Lynn Irish, Mac Lindahl, and Dick Kryworuchenko working out of the backfield. Our congratulations to Coach Doug Eighmey and his Hoosick Falls football team in winning the Tri-County Football League. Hoosick Falls finished the season of 1950 without a blemish of any kind being unbeaten and untied for their entire schedule of games.

Congratulations to the 1950-51 Varsity basbetball team. Champions of the Saratoga County League. The Black Horses finished the season with a record of 15 wins and 3 losses. The Saratoga County League, consisting of eight teams was a close race all the way with many upsets during the season. Schuylerville, the only team to defeat the strong Hoosick Falls team twice, 56 to 54 and 58 to 54. The fine teamwork and hustle that the Black Horses displayed throughout the season was one of the key factors in finishing a tough schedule with 15 wins. The big six who saw most of the action were Glen Bean at center, Riley DeVoe and Ed Lenz at the forward positions and Mac Lindahl, George Ladds and Bill Nevins at the guard positions. The scoring was pretty well divided with four of these six averaging ten points or better per game. The foul shooting of this Championship club was one of the best in the area as they had a game average of 64 per cent for the 18 games.
