ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

I know it's Monday, but it's also a new day, a new week, and in that lies a new opportunity for something special to happen, Eagle Nation!  

The sun is supposed to be out all day, with temperatures reaching the mid- to upper 60s.  Let's hope continues to trend warmer as we approach May.  We do expect some rain to come in during the middle of the week, so be prepared.

We had action on the diamond and track over the weekend, so make sure you check out the scores and highlights.

The school year will be over before we know it, as we only have 33 class days left in high school, so make sure you stay on top of everything.  

Spring Sports will be over in the blink of an eye, with only 3 weeks left, so get out to catch some games and meets before it's too late. 

As we get into the final stretch of the school year, remember there are many events, so keep tuned in, as there are a lot of moving parts.

HIGHLIGHTS

Softball Highlights

The Galway Varsity Softball team defeated Fonda Friday in a WAC league match-up of undefeated league teams, 21-0. Galway got the bats going early as they pushed across 4 in the top of the 1st, then 6 more in the 2nd inning, and just kept it rolling.  All 9 hitters for the Eagles picked up at least one hit. Led by Kristina Becker, going 4-4 with a single, double, triple, and 6 RBIs, and Courtney Smith going 4 for 5 with a double, 3 singles, 2 RBIs, and 5 runs scored. Avery Menge had two hits with 3 RBIs. Samantha Becker had a double, 2 RBIs, and 4 runs scored.  Kiera Allen added 2 hits, 3 runs, and an RBI
Emma Menge picked up the win in the circle, as she was perfect for 3 innings, not allowing a hit or a base runner and striking out 5.  Avery Menge finished it over the last two innings, only allowing 1 hit and 1 walk while striking out 2.  The Eagles move to 4-0 in the league and 8-2 overall after coming off a big week with wins over Duanesburg, Schoharie, and Fonda. They have another busy week this week, with four games (Hartford, Johnstown, Cobleskill-Richmondville, and Taconic Hills) starting today, as they host a non-leaguer against Hartford at 4:30 p.m.

Fun fact of the day:  Around 8–10 per cent of people grind their teeth at night. The process is called sleep bruxism, and most people aren't even aware they're doing it.

Did you know? NFL rules state that the home team must provide 36 balls for outdoor games and 24 balls for indoor games.  They must be inspected by the referee two hours before the game.

On this date in sports:
  • In 1903, the Highlander (Yankee) got their first shut-out, as they defeated the Philadelphia A's 6-0.
  • In 1908, the IV Summer (Modern) Olympic Games opened in London.
  • In 1961, the NFL officially recognized the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

Today is National Gummi Bear Day!!!!

On this date in history:
  • In 1981, the Xerox Star personal computer debuted, developed by Xerox PARC, and it included the first mouse sold to consumers.
  • In 1961, Sierra Leone, which for years had been a British colony and protectorate, achieved independence. Sir Milton Margai served as the country's first prime minister.
  • In 1865, the worst maritime disaster in U.S. history occurred when a boiler exploded on the overloaded steamship SS Sultana as it sailed the Mississippi River, killing some 1,800 people, many of whom were former Union POWs returning home from the Civil War.
  • In 1828, the London Zoo opened in Regent's Park.
  • In 1810, Ludwig van Beethoven shared his feelings in a beautiful piano piece called Für Elise. But it wasn't known to the world until 1867, decades after he died, when a scholar found it. And we still don't know who, exactly, the Elise in Beethoven's dedication was, or whether there actually was an Elise.
  • In 1295, King Edward I of England invaded Scotland, which led to the removal of the coronation stone of Scone to Westminster Abbey in England. His actions inaugurated 250 years of bitter hatred, savage warfare, and bloody border forays.
