ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
Happy Wednesday, EAGLE NATION! Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open. It's a cold morning out there, Eagle Nation. Hopefully, you are bundled up. We have a lot of action on the hardwood tonight. Stop by to check in tomorrow for results. Slammin' Jammin' Kirvin wasn't able to attend last night, but hopefully tonight he'll make an appearance. Can you believe we are only three and a half weeks away from the end of the Winter Sports Season? It'll be over before we know it.
Don't forget we have a lot going on currently at Eagle Nation. We have raffle tickets (only 5 dollars) for a Syracuse vs. North Carolina Basketball game for sale for a truly great cause. Please let me know if you want to buy some tickets. The Winter Olympics are right around the corner.

She is an avid Country music fan and a very talented Hockey Player. She is a loved newer member of the Galway Community. Who knows our next member??? Tune in tomorrow to find out. We are working hard to fill out our roster and sign more talent before the game.

No Mercy Mac (FINALLY AGREED to Terms)
Old Man Winter woke up angry this morning, as it was a crisp, cold morning. After a small warm-up tomorrow and Friday, be prepared for the weekend, as Arctic Cold moves in, and we will be in the double-digit negatives. Make sure you are bundled up and have your hats and gloves with you at all times. Think Spring!
Cows drink a lot, as a single cow can drink up to 80 gallons (a bathtub full) of water daily.
 Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!

Randall Syracuse Ticket Raffle
Eagle Nation, we are looking for your help!!!! Tragedy struck an athlete's family in our league, and we are helping the Canajoharie Booster Club sell raffle tickets to a Syracuse Men's Basketball game through our Booster Club.
One of the Canajoharie players, Senior Dillan Randall, tragically lost his step-mother, Braylynn Fahy, in a car accident on December 1st. Dillan is the same player whose father was killed last January in a tragic accident while repairing his mailbox. Dillan and his two younger brothers, who attend Fort Plain, have suffered unimaginable loss in less than a year, losing both their father and mother/stepmother. To show our support, we are joining forces to raffle off four tickets and a parking pass to the Syracuse versus North Carolina men's basketball game on February 21st (flyer attached) that were graciously donated by Empower Federal Credit Union! Tickets are $5 each and will be available for purchase at all home games or by reaching out to Coach Glenn (mglenn@galwaycsd.org). The winner will be drawn on February 13th at halftime of the Galway Varsity Boys at the Canajoharie Basketball Game. The winner does not need to be present to claim the tickets! All proceeds from the raffle will be donated directly to the family.
