ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
Hello, Monday! Start your week with a deep breath, a smile, and a heart and mind full of positive energy, EAGLE NATION!  When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization.  The Girls Varsity Soccer team dropped a heartbreaker on Friday in the Opening Round of Sectionals, as they fell to Maple Hill 3-2.  Great season, Ladies. The cold weather is creeping in, so be prepared as the calendar and time change this weekend. Fall sports are quickly coming to an end as most seasons have already wrapped up. Make sure to get out to support the Eagles with what's left.  Check out the schedule below.

Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!


Registration for Modified, JV, and Varsity Winter Sports is open. Please see the link below.

Girls Soccer Highlights

The Galway Golden Eagles dropped a tough one in the opening round of Class C Sectionals to #6-seeded Maple Hill.
The girls struck first when Olivia Davison set up Nadia LaBate for the opening goal. Maple Hill responded with three straight to take the lead, but the Eagles didn’t back down. Brielle Cameron found the back of the net off a Norah Schaperjahn assist to pull the team within one.
Despite a strong effort, the girls would ultimately fall 3–2.
The Golden Eagles close out their season with an 8-8-0 record.
Congratulations on a great season!
