Supporting Colonie, One Game—and One Driveway—at a Time

There’s something about spring in Colonie that just feels right. The fields come alive, the sound of cleats on turf and bats cracking at Cook Park reminds you it’s game season. For a lot of folks around here, spring means high school sports—track meets at Saddlewood, lacrosse under the lights, or just stopping by the softball fields on a warm evening.

At Egan Paving, we’ve always had a soft spot for Colonie High. Not just because it’s the local team, but because it’s ourteam. Our crews grew up here. Our families are from here.

I still remember being a kid, watching my dad work the paver. He started young, and I was right there with him, learning the ropes. Those early mornings, the smell of fresh asphalt, the satisfaction of a job well done—it all instilled in me a deep appreciation for hard work and dedication. It's the same dedication we see in our local athletes.

This spring, Colonie High's sports teams are making us proud. The girls' basketball team clinched back-to-back Class AAA titles, showcasing resilience and teamwork . The softball team is on a winning streak, demonstrating skill and determination . And the flag football team is gaining momentum, reflecting the growing interest in the sport among young athletes .

Beyond the high school, Colonie's community programs are thriving. The Parks and Recreation Department offers a variety of activities, from tennis lessons to summer enrichment programs . These programs not only keep our youth engaged but also foster a sense of community and belonging.

At Egan Paving, we're proud to support these initiatives, ensuring the roads leading to the fields are smooth and safe, we're committed to our community.

So, as you head out to catch a game or participate in a community event, know that we're right there with you, cheering on our teams and celebrating the spirit of Colonie.

Here's to a great spring. Go Wolf Pack. (But I’ll always be a Raider!)
