The Golden Eagles moved into the state championship finals of the dual meet tournament by defeating the Trojans of Brigewater-Raynham last night at Central High School. It wasn't an easy win and it certainly wasn't pretty, but it was enough to get the job done. The meet started at 135 lbs, right into the strength [...]
It's ON!!! The State Dual Meet Team Championship Semifinal will be at Central High School Wednesday night at 6:00 PM. The Golden Eagles have suffered a few setbacks in the last couple weeks which will test the strength and depth of the team. With Nate Collins off the team for grades and Ruben Gonzalez now [...]

Well, it's that time again. Time to get ready for the big sectional tournament. It just wouldn't seem right to let the week go by without a try at predicting who will be this year's Western Mass champs. Remember, these are just my opinions, for fun. I will try not to let my Central bias [...]

After sharing the championship with West Springfield in 2008, it is good to have sole possession of the honor again. The guys performed as they needed against Longmeadow to win the meet with no real surprises. The only [...]
Sometimes I wonder to myself, "Is Central really that good, or are the other teams just on a down year?" I had that thought again this weekend at the Northeast Duals.
