Leading off today: Another week, another school for Jason Gwaltney.
With word coming down from the administration that there was no way he could rack up the required number of credits to regain his eligibility in 2009 at West Virginia, the former North Babylon superstar has enrolled at Division II C.W. Post.
Gwaltney, 21, will have three years of eligibility, effective immediately, and has been practicing with the team since Sunday. He had been attending West Virginia over the summer in his third tour with the Mountaineers in between various personal, academic and minor legal woes.

Gwaltney ended his high school career in the fall of 2004 with 7,800 rushing yards, second in state history to Mike Hart.

Returning from a December 2006 knee injury, Triche led J-D to the NYSPHSAA Class A championship in Glens Falls last March.
New and improved: The Post-Star in Glens Falls has relaunched its high school sports presence on the Web. The new "PS Varsity" was rolled out this week.

Game stories and roundups will archive to the site each night, hours ahead of the newspaper reaching the street.

"What seems like a sprain is not always a sprain;
