ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE EAGLE NATION!!!!  Tomorrow is Christmas along with the start of Hanukkah and on the 26th Kwanzaa begins. We hope everyone has a wonderful, happy, healthy, and joy-filled break.  Take time with family, friends, and loved ones over the Holidays as we look forward to a new year and new beginnings.  Remember that the days are starting to get longer with daylight each day.  We have passed the Winter Solstice, which is December 21st and is the shortest daylight day of the year. We had some cancellations on Friday and Saturday, but those games have been rescheduled for after the break so make sure you stay tuned.  

We still have a lot of action on the hardwood and mats this weekend, and over the Holiday break with our teams partaking in Holiday Tournaments, so check out the schedule below.




Reminder all home games in our gymnasium will now be streamed on the Hudl Fan Link instead of YouTube. Direct Link is below and is also posted on our Athletics Page:

Eagle Apparel
The Galway Eagle Apparel Store is up and running through BSN.  There are many great options.  The link is below and is also posted on our Athletics Page.
Did you know?  Dribbling was not allowed in the early years of basketball. Instead, players passed the ball to their teammates to advance it down the court. Dribbling was later introduced to make the game faster and more dynamic

On this date in sports:
  • In 1889 Daniel Stover and William Hance patented a bicycle with a break pedal.
  • In 1982, Chaminade, with a student body of 850, defeated #1 Ranked Virginia 77-72 in the Honolulu Holiday Basketball Classic.
