ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

We've officially turned the calendar to May, Eagle Nation!  It's also May Day and Derby weekend.  May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, is a holiday celebrating workers and the history of labour organizing every year on May 1st. It is also the 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby tomorrow. Who do you have picked to win?

There was a lot of excitement on the diamond and track last night, so make sure you check out the scores and highlights.  We have a home softball game today.

The school year will be over before we know it, as we only have 29 class days left in high school, so make sure you stay on top of everything, so you pass all your classes and don't have to attend summer school.  


Spring Sports will be over in the blink of an eye, with only a few games/meets left, so get out to catch some games and meets before it's too late. Varsity and JV sports regular season wrap up around the 16th, with modified teams finishing the following week.

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.

Trap Highlights

The Galway Trap Team has started its spring competition season and wrapped up week 1.
This season, there are 32 students on the team, including 6 seniors and 3 new students.
  • Senior Jake Bickford led week 1 with a 47 out of 50, including a perfect round of 25. This marks Jake's 3rd perfect score since we started practice this season! Way to go, Jake!
  • Wyatt Mead and Jameson Forneris shot a 43 and 42 for week 1
  • Senior Matt McCray had a pair of 20's for his first week.
  • Senior Kody Teneyck-Bauer showed up strong this season with an 18 and 22, for a combined score of 40. Nice work
  • Senior Lilly Jessop was our highest scoring female this week with a 19 and 20 (39)
  • Right behind her was senior Maggie Newsom with an 18 and 21 (39). Way to go, girls! 
One of our new students has really started his trap-shooting career off on the right foot. Anthony Gomes shot a 10 and 14 for his first week of competition ever with the team! 
The team shoots every Thursday and Sunday, and there are 4 more weeks of competition left before they head to the regional championship (Foothills Challenge) in Hudson Falls, and then to the state championship in Cicero, NY. Good luck this season, everyone!

Baseball Highlights

The Varsity Baseball team hosted Cobleskill-Richmondville last night.  The Eagles battled with the Bulldogs through the first four innings, keeping it close, but the Bulldogs were too much for the Eagles in the top of the 5th as they pushed across 8 runs to bust the game open. Hayden Flint and Andy Miller each had two singles for the Eagles.  Flint also scored two runs and stole a base, while Miller also scored a run and stole two bases.  Brody Paterek also singled for the Eagles.  Evan Schaperjahn had an RBI for the Eagles as they fell to 2-9 on the season.  They are back in action, travelling to BKW on Monday.

Fun fact of the day:  Our solar system has a wall. The heliopause – the region of space in which solar wind isn’t hot enough to push back the wind of particles coming from distant stars- is often considered the “boundary wall” of the Solar System and interstellar space.

Did you know?  In 1962, former MLB catcher Harry Chiti was traded from the Cleveland Indians to the New York Mets for a player to be named later. After a poor performance, Chiti became that “player to be named later”, making him the first player to ever be traded for himself.

On this date in sports:
  • In 1883, Bob Rogers was acknowledged as the first American pro sports trainer when he was hired by the NY Athletic Club
  • In 1920, the longest MLB game by innings was played between the Brooklyn Robins and Boston Braves, tied 1-1, in 26 innings
  • In 1925, Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx made his MLB debut.
  • In 1940, the Summer Olympics scheduled for Helsinki, Finland, were cancelled by the Finnish Olympic Committee because of WWII.
  • In 1991, Texas Rangers starter Nolan Ryan pitched the MLB record 7th no-hitter, beating Toronto, 3-0; at 44, Ryan is the oldest to throw a no-hitter

Today is National School Principals' Day!!!


On this date in history:
  • In 2004, the European Union was enlarged to include the new member states of Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
  • In 1999, the body of British mountaineer George Mallory was found on Mount Everest, some 75 years after he and Andrew Irvine disappeared while climbing the mountain. The discovery was expected to determine, once and for all, whether Mallory and Irvine had been the first people to summit the peak. Instead, it raised even more questions.
  • In 1971, Amtrak began service in the United States. It had been established by Congress in 1970 to take control of passenger train service from the country's private rail companies.
  • In 1961, the first major airplane hijacking within the United States occurred when a man forced a commercial airliner en route from Miami to Key West, Florida, to detour to Cuba.
  • In 1941, Orson Welles's Citizen Kane, considered by many critics to be the greatest film ever made, premiered in New York City.
  • In 1931, the Empire State Building in New York City officially opened. For four decades, it was the tallest building in the world, and it remains a U.S. landmark.
  • In 1924, Iodized salt first went on sale in the United States, available at grocery stores in Michigan. The state was then part of a region known as “the goitre belt,” a reference to enlargement of the thyroid gland due to iodine deficiency.
  • In 1898, the U.S. Navy defeated the Spanish Pacific fleet in the Battle of Manila Bay, resulting in the fall of the Philippines and contributing to the final U.S. victory in the Spanish-American War.
  • In 1889, May Day was first observed as a labor holiday, designated as such by the International Socialist Congress.
  • In 1840, the world's first postage stamp was released in England; it was created by Sir Rowland Hill and became known as the Penny Black.
