The Capital District Chapter of the National Football Foundation is going to start a Section II Football Hall of Fame this year.

In order to make sure the committee has a solid list to choose from, they would like your input on who you think should be in the Hall of Fame.

As we all know there have been and still are many great coaches, players and officials that have come through the Section the past 90 or so years and it would be interesting to see what names come up from various positions and schools.

As you also know, not everyone can make it the first year but a solid list of former players would be very beneficial.

The committee has set a policy that only players that have played before the 2000 season will be considered.

So, who do you think should go in and why?

The organization will be posting a nomination form soon on its web-site http://www.section2football.com

Saratoga put on an impressive offensive push early this week to take over the lead in the voting against Ballston Spa for the "Battle of Route 50" in the Section II Class AA Super Bowl Friday evening.

The Scotties held an early lead during the weekend, but as the voters advanced to the internet poll, the Blue Streaks pulled ahead, 56.8 percent to 43.2 percent late Monday night.

The Saratogian is looking to provide some unique insight this Friday for this Saratoga County showdown along with the official results of the event.

To vote, click here.

With the voting heating up during the first day of non-contact competition between Ballston Spa High School and Saratoga Springs, the Scotties have just over a two touchdown lead over the Blue Streaks.

Ballston Spa, according to Saturday's votes, is a 57.5 percent favorite to win the Battle of Route 50 next Friday night in the Class AA Super Bowl with Saratoga Springs receiving 42.5 percent of the vote.

It is early in the voting process, so spread the word, contact your booster clubs, friends and families of both the Scotties and the Blue Streaks and have then cast their vote here.

The voting will close out Thursday night and we will publish the results in Friday's Saratogian.

After Ballston Spa's 42-9 win over Guilderland and Saratoga's 32-0 rout of Schenectady, the Section II Class AA Super Bowl, The Battle of Route 50, is now officially set for 7 p.m. Oct. 6 at Colonie High School.

The Class AA contest is the only one slated for Friday night and should be a sell out as these two juggernauts will decide who will advance to the regionals and hopefully to the Syracuse Carrier Dome. Along the way our newspapers will have all the action leading up to this historic showdown between these two Saratoga County teams.

But first things first...who will win? We want you to Pick the winner of the Battle of Route 50.

The results will be posted on-line and in next Friday's edition of The Saratogian.

Good luck to both teams.
