HIGHLIGHTS

Softball Highlights

The JV Softball team had an amazing comeback last night to defeat the Mayfield Panthers.  The Eagles fell behind 5-0 after the first and then 7-1 after the second inning.  The Eagles slowly chipped away in the 3rd before they were able to catch up and blow past the Panthers as the Eagles pushed across 7 runs in the bottom of the 4th.  Avery Menge picked up the win in the circle as she pitched five innings in relief of no hits and no runs while striking out 10 for the Eagles.  At the plate, Menge added two hits and three runs scored, while Amelia Leclerc added two triples.  Gracyn Symonds hit a 3-run home run for the Eagles as they moved to 2-0 in the season.

Baseball Highlights

The Varsity baseball team opened WAC League play last night with an exciting multi come-from-behind win over the Fort Plain Hilltoppers. Fort Plain jumped on the Eagles early as they raced out to a 3-1 lead, but the Eagles fought back to tie it at 3-3 in the top of the sixth, but the Eagles quickly fell behind 4-3 in the bottom half, but the Eagles kept battling and pushed across three runs in the top of the seventh to take the lead and hold on for a 6-4 victory. Tanner Bernard went 3-3 at the plate with 2 RBIs and 3 runs scored.  Tynan Seburn picked up the win for the Eagles, and Andy Miller closed it out, picking up the save.  The Eagles move to 1-0 in the league and 1-1 overall.  They are back in action tomorrow as they host Schoharie.

  • The JV baseball team traveled to Lansingburgh to complete their home and away series with the Knights, but the Eagles couldn't get it going all night as they struggled at the plate. They only managed one hit (by Ian Horton) in an 11-0 loss.  The Eagles fall to 0-2 in the season.



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 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.
