ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
Mindset is everything. Carry your weekend vibe into Monday morning, EAGLE NATION! 1.9 million farms dot America’s rural landscape, and 97% are family-owned and operated. It looks to be a cold week. Hopefully, snow and winter hold off a while longer. Ensure the chimneys and furnaces are clean and ready for use. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Class of 2027 fundraiser at Chipotle on Saturday.
Please take a moment tomorrow to thank a Veteran for their service, and take a moment to remember all that they've done. Our Veterans and current service men and women are the reason we get to enjoy our freedom and day-to-day life.

Volleyball Highlights
After falling short in last year's Class C final, the Galway volleyball team was motivated to return to the top of the heap. The top-seeded Golden Eagles did just that, sweeping third-seeded Fonda-Fultonville in a battle of Western Athletic Conference rivals in the Section 2 Class C championship Saturday at Saratoga Springs High School by scores of 25-13, 25-20, 25-19. The girls captured their 5th Sectional title in the last 6 years. The Eagles cruised in set 1, but in set 2, the Eagles fell behind 7-1 and 9-2, but dug deep and came all the way back to win the set. In set 3, after breaking a 4-4 tie, the Eagles never looked back as they took control of the rest of the match to complete the sweep. Sophomore outside hitter Kiera Allen recorded 17 digs and 16 kills for Galway. Allen's 16-kill effort put her at 1,006 for her career. Courtney Smith posted 10 kills for the Golden Eagles, Emma Menge had three blocks, and Kristina Becker added 20 assists and 10 digs. - They move on to the State Quarterfinals on Thursday at Mount Saint Mary's College in Newburgh, where they will take on the #1 team in the state, Mount Academy, at 4:30 p.m.

Cross Country Highlights
The Galway XC Team completed their season Saturday, in Queensbury at the Section II Championships.
The girls' team was incomplete, but Ailey Nelson came in 10th and won a Section II ribbon, and missed qualifying for states by one position. Amelia Jordan finished 20th.
The Boys team came in 2nd place. They were led by Nate McDevitt, who finished 12th, and Jacob Burchac, who finished in 20th place. Tyler Bombard came in 22nd. Gabe Mele came in 25th, and Logan Miner came in 29th. Jude Comensky and Brayden Sheft came in 33rd and 34th. The Boys completed their WAC Season with a 7-1 dual meet record. The boys had a great season, and though Mile Split had predicted them to take 3rd after they lost to Mayfield at the WAC league championship, they defeated Mayfield at Sectionals and took 2nd place behind Maple Hill.
