The Mohonasen-Schalmont boys swim team began its season Tuesday by defeating Schenectady 97-87.
The Patriots pulled within six points midway through the meet when they took two of the top three places in the 100-yard freestyle, but Mohonasen-Schalmont swept the top three places in the 500 freestyle to pull away for good.
Vincent Fernandez led Mohonasen-Schalmont with victories in the 200- and 500-yard freestyles.

In other boys swimming action Tuesday, Niskayuna opened its season with a 106-74 victory over Saratoga Springs. The outcome was never in doubt after the Silver Warriors took the top two places in the 200-yard individual medley and swept the top three spots in the 50 freestyle. Those efforts helped Niskayuna build a 43-19 lead, and Saratoga never recovered.
Emerson Wells led the Silver Warriors with victories in the 200- and the 500-yard freestyle races. Wells finished with a time of 1:54.25 in the 200 freestyle and a time of 5:05.06 in the 500 freestyle.
