ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Happy Wednesday, EAGLE NATION!!!!!! Take pride in how far you have come, and have faith in how far you can go. JV and Softball kicked off the Spring season games last night as both traveled to Albany to take on Triple-A Albany High.  Both teams picked up exciting wins.  See the highlights below.  Track and Field got a good warm-up in last night as they traveled to Amsterdam for a scrimmage ahead of their openers on Saturday and Monday We have clear skies for most of today, but it'll be switching to rain tonight and into the morning.  The rest of the week's weather looks to be unsettled, so be prepared.  Make sure you get out this weekend to see the drama club's presentation of James and the Giant Peach.  It is going to be an amazing show with all the time and work our students have put in preparing. 

Check out the schedule below for the season (please know that weather can cause dates and times to be subject to change for games and events). 

  • Athletes must participate in a certain number of practices before being eligible for a scrimmage or a game/meet. Softball, track, and field athletes need 6 practices, and Baseball athletes need 10 practices.

Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!



Fun fact of the day: There are two main shapes of popcorn: butterfly and mushroom. Mushroom is when the kernel pops more uniformly, while butterfly is more explosive.

HIGHLIGHTS

Softball Highlights

The Varsity Softball team opened its season last night with an exciting game at Triple-A Albany.  The Eagles jumped on the Falcons early, racing out to a 10-2 lead, but the Falcons fought back to take a 12-11 lead over the Eagles heading into the last two innings.  The Eagles kept their composure and focus as they pushed across three runs in the top of the sixth as Kiera Allen led off with a double and Kristina Becker followed with a walk, which brought up Samantha Becker, who laid down a bunt for a single which scored Allen and K. Becker.  Hailee Whitney then delivered a two-out single to score S. Becker.  The Eagles then pushed five more runs across in the top of the 7th to hold on for a 19-12 victory to go to 1-0 on the season.  Courtney Smith went 3 for 5 with a triple, 3 runs scored, and 2 RBIs.  Kiera Allen went 2 for 5 with two doubles, 3 RBIs, and 3 runs scored.  Samantha Becker went 2 for 4 with a triple, 3 RBIs, and 3 runs scored, and Brielle Cameron went 3 for 5 with 2 runs scored and 4 SBs.

  • The JV Softball team opened their season with an impressive 14-2 win over the Albany Falcons. Katy Ferguson was dominant on the mound as she didn't allow a hit and struck out five, and she added a double with 2 RBIs and 3 runs scored at the plate.  Avey Menge went 3 for 3 at the plate with three runs scored, while Rylie Glenn went 1 for 3 with three runs scored for the Eagles.  Anna Watson, Amelia Leclerc, and Brinley Stead all added singles for the Eagles.
