Two of the biggest names to recently play high school basketball in this area, Talor Battle and Jimmer Fredette, were at Troy High on Tuesday.

Battle (left), who helped lead Bishop Maginn to the 2006 New York State Class AA title game, is holding his basketball camp at Troy and his former AAU teammate, Fredette, who starred at Glens Falls was in town.

Here is the story.

I also had a chance to catch up with Battle's brother, Taran Buie, who hopes to play at Siena this upcoming season.

I've been trying to find a link for this piece that ran on College Gameday on Saturday on Glens Falls native Jimmer Fredette.

Here is the piece.

GLENS FALLS - Jimmer Fredette speaks about the "Hometown Classic" game where he scored a game-high 26 points

Glens Falls native Jimmer Fredette scored a game-high 26 points in an 86-58 victory for the No. 18 BYU Cougars over Vermont, in a game set up just for him to play in his hometown.

Wednesday night will be one of the most unique non-conference basketball game in recent memory.

Brigham Young University will take on the University of Vermont at the Glens Falls Civic Center.

The game will be aired nationally on CBS College Sports.

This game will take place for one reason - Jimmer Fredette.

The Cougars senior guard grew up in Glens Falls and this game will be called Hometown Classic.

Fredette was selected as a preseason All-American and has helped BYU reach the NCAA Tournament last season and defeat Florida in double overtime.

Fredette also is Section II's all-time leading scorer.
Fredette is in the Top 10 of BYU's all-time scoring list.

The 2006-07 Glens Falls Indians team went 25-2 and reached the Class A New York State title game, which was played in the Glens Falls Civic Center.

Former Section II stars Talor Battle and Jimmer Fredette will return to their respective universities for their senior season after testing the NBA Draft waters.

Battle, a former Bishop Maginn star and The Record's 2006-07 Boys Basketball Player of the Year, announced Saturday that he will return for his senior season at Penn State University.

Battle was one of the top point guard in the Big 10 last season, averaging 18.5 points per game.

Battle's younger brother Taran Buie, also a former start at Bishop Maginn, will begin his collegiate career next season with the Nittany Lions.

Fredette will return to Brigham Young for his senior season.

The Glens Falls native injured his quad in a workout with the New York Knicks on Friday.

Fredette and the Cougars will play a regular season game against the University of Vermont at the Glens Falls Civic Center during the 2010-11 season.

Both players had until Saturday's 5 p.m. deadline to withdraw their names or remain eligible for the 2010 NBA Draft, which takes place June 24 at Madison Square Garden.

I had a chance to cover Glens Falls native Jimmer Fredette a couple of times during his high school career.

It's great that he is doing so well at BYU in his sophomore season.

Fredette and the Cougars will kick off NCAA Tournament coverage tomorrow when they take on ninth-seed Texas A&M at 12:30.

The story also mentions former Section II standout and current Penn State guard Talor Battle and the Albany City Rocks.
