ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Good Morning, EAGLE NATION!!!! May you embrace life with love, gratitude, and joy. Find the strength to overcome any obstacle.  My grandfather used to say that once in your life, you need a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman, and a preacher. But every day, three times a day, you need a farmer.  Homecoming is around the corner. Check out the schedule below.  Still no rain in sight, so be mindful of your water usage to prevent wells from running dry, as we are currently in drought conditions. 

Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!

  • We have started the sale of our Varsity Jackets early this year, so we can end the sales in early October, and will be able to have them in time for Christmas.  Please see the link below for registration.  

Homecoming week is the week of September 22 - 27.  



Cross Country is hosting its annual Fun Run/Homecoming Dash!  If interested, please reach out to Coach Decker.




STORES ARE CLOSING SOON!!!!!!!

  • The individual clothing stores for each Fall Sport are now open, and every order now ships in 2-3 days.  Please check out the links below.

We have started selling our Varsity Jackets early this year, so we can conclude the sales in early October to ensure they arrive in time for Christmas.
Galway Eagle Varsity Jackets

Fun fact of the day:  Pigs can't look up into the sky. The anatomy of their spine and neck muscles limits their movement and restricts their head from being able to look upwards.


Did you know?  The World’s First Football Club was the English Sheffield Football Club, founded in 1857.


On this date in sports:

  • In 1869, golf's first recorded hole-in-one was scored by Tom Morris at Prestwick's 8th hole in Scotland.
  • In 1953, the AL approved the St. Louis Browns' move to become the Baltimore Orioles.
  • In 1957, the Los Angeles City Council approved a 300-acre site in Chavez Ravine for the Dodgers.

Today is National Play-DOH Day!!!!!

Volleyball Highlights

Congratulations to the Modified Volleyball Teams in their home opener last night versus OESJ. The 7th-grade team had a very close first set, but couldn’t quite pull off the win.  With an amazing 2nd set comeback, the 8th-grade team beat the Wolves with scores of 25-22 and 28-27. Great job, Lady Eagles! 🏐
