Hoosic Valley Stampede – by Christine Barton

 

Schaghticoke-The Hoosic Valley Stampede football and cheerleading program is a private not for profit sports program for kids in grades K-6 in the Hoosic Valley community. The program is also a member of the Northeast Youth Football League (NYFL). The NYFL also includes teams from the surrounding areas of Stillwater, Mechanicville Cambridge, Greenwich and Granville. The Hoosic Valley Stampede is sustained solely through fundraising efforts. The financial success of the program is supported heavily through the generosity of local volunteers as well as community and businesses donations. The Stampede program consists of Flag Cheer, Flag Football, Junior and Senior Tackle. While the Stampede program is independent of the Hoosic Valley School District, the sports programs in the area do work closely together.

Hoosic Valley Clarifies Alleged Football Merger – By Christine Barton

“The intention was just to look into options with good intentions,” says Jeff Keller, Athletic Director at Hoosic Valley Central High School.  Talks of a possible merger between Hoosic Valley and Stillwater football programs took the community by surprise when an article in the Troy Record was published on April 10th, 2013. Reading this article was the first time that many in the district had heard of any type of football merger. One community member was “astonished at the article in the Troy record.”  These discussions should have involved the community, he said. “These were just discussions that were not had with any malintent,” said Keller.
