ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Happy Monday, EAGLE NATION!!!!!!   I know it's Monday, but it's also a new day and week, which means a new opportunity for something special to happen.  Today's Track and Field home meet has been postponed.  We are working on a rescheduled date.  JV baseball opened its season on Friday and lost a tough one.  Track and Field had a great showing at the Guilderland Invitational.  The Varsity Softball team lost a tough battle with Schalmont Friday.  See the results below.  Don't forget to come out for some athletic events this week as Spring sports are gearing up into full action.   The booster club meeting scheduled for tomorrow has been rescheduled to Wednesday the 16th. 

Congratulations to our Drama students for their amazing performances in their production of James and the Giant Peach over the weekend.

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.

HIGHLIGHTS

Softball Highlights

The Varsity Sotball team traveled to Schalmont on Friday to take on Class A Schalmont.  The Sabres jumped on the Eagles early, but the Eagles maintained their composure and battled until the end before eventually falling 6-2.  Courtney Smith had two hits, while Kiera Allen added a double and two RBIs.  Emma Menge pitched a gem in the circle, going the distance while striking out 10 and only giving up 1 earned run on 6 hits.  The Eagles open league play tomorrow evening as they travel to Fort Plain

Track and Field Highlights

This Saturday's track meet was at the Guilderland Frigid Cup which was concluded early due to the weather. Here are some highlights:
  • The boys' distance medley was won by:
    Simon Evans, Trevor Bombard, Cody Schneider, and Etahn Watrobski
  • Ethan Watrobski tied for 3rd place in the high jump
  • Kyle Keehan placed 6th in pole vault
  • The girls' sprint medley team of Sadie Stead, Josephine Venditti, Nadia Labate, and Nora Schaperjahn came in 5th.

Baseball Highlights

The JV Baseball team opened its season by hosting the Lansingburg Knights.  It was a high-octane offensive performance for both teams as the Knights pounded out 18 runs on 11 hits, and the Eagles scored 14 runs on 8 hits.  Brody Paterek, Ian Horton, Andrew Pauly, and Logan Mine all had two hits apiece for the Eagles.  The Eagles travel to Lansingbugh today looking to bounce back with a win.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Bodie Cancio

Bodie is a welcome addition to the Modified Track and Field team.  He never complains, he is always carrying items without being asked to, and he helps out in general.  Bodie is also a fantastic teammate as he cheers for team members and, after finishing his own workout, continues to encourage others.  He also makes positive connections between his sport and things he has learned in ELA classes, as his current reading essay is about the importance of winning versus enjoying the sport for your own goals.  Way to Go, Bodie.
