ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Happy Earth Day,  EAGLE NATION!!!!!! A little progress each day adds up to big results. Make it happen this Tuesday. Your Eagles had a lot of success on the diamond last night as the teams combined to go 3-0. The Varsity Softball team hosted Mayfield in a special Cancer game to benefit a 5-year-old from Mayfield who is currently battling cancer.  We were able to raise $250 to help the family.  There is a lot more action the rest of the week. Check out the schedule below for the season (please know that weather can cause dates and times to be subject to change for games and events). 

Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!


Team Sports pictures will be Tomorrow (April 23rd).  All athletes received envelopes before break.


Shout out to Emma Menge and Kristina Becker for their selections by the Times Union.

Fun fact of the day: Ironically, the fear of long words is called Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. The 36-letter word was first used in the first century BCE to criticise writers with an unreasonable penchant for long words.

HIGHLIGHTS

Softball Highlights

Congratulations to the Varsity Softball team as they defeated Mayfield in a WAC league match-up 10-0 last night.  The game was scoreless through the top of the 5th. The Eagles finally got on the board as they pushed across 5 runs in the 5th and 6th innings.  Emma Menge picked up the win, pitching a shutout and going the distance in the circle as she struck out 10 and allowed only 1 hit while walking none and hitting 1 batter.   Menge also drove in 3 runs at the plate. Lily Bain, Kiera Allen, and Brielle Cameron each had two hits. Kristina Becker and Courtney Smith each had a hit and 2 RBIs.  The Eagles move to 4-0 in the league and 7-1 overall.
