I left early…. I admit it. I was going to stay to get all of the final results, but I was hungry and tired and just wanted to go home. I know how Central ended up and I figured I could get the rest of the results from the Springfield Paper in the morning. Big [...]
Last night, Central traveled to Longmeadow to face the Lancers in a league match. Every season there seems to be at least one match where a lot of guys are either hurt, banged up or sick. Last night was the match this season. The list of starters that were not wrestling was too long for [...]
The team traveled to Boston yesterday (Saturday) to participate in a quad meet with BC High, Scituate and New Bedford. When they arrived they found out that one of the teams (Scituate) would not be attending due to a scheduling error. The Golden Eagles were set up to wrestle BC High first and then finish [...]
I know. I have been remiss. It's been a week since my last blog and I am hearing about it. My only defense is, I am tired. Clerking the Natick tournament on Saturday was a great experience. I really love doing the job of the clerk. It's exciting and keeps you right in the middle [...]
Central defeated Ludlow at The Nest last night by a score of 47 – 14. However, this meeting was more exciting than the score would show. Ludlow came in as BIG underdogs, but refused to lie down for the Golden Eagles. Both coaches were trying to get the best matchups for their wrestlers and the [...]
The West Side Duals on Saturday were, in my opinion, a huge success, again. I still think that this is the premiere dual meet tournament in Western Mass. The competition is high level and it seems that every wrestler gets at least one high quality match that really stretches their potential as wrestlers. It's also [...]
If the Golden Eagles thought that this meet was going to be a cakewalk, they were sadly mistaken. The Spartans of East Longmeadow brought their A-game with them to The Nest and surprised the Golden Eagles with a strong performance. The fact that Central was going to win the match was never in doubt, but [...]
It's opening night at the nest. FINALLY!!!!! The guys are anxious to get out in front of a friendly crowd as the Spartans of East Longmeadow come to Central to hit the mats against the Golden Eagles. It has been a while since Central has faced East Longmeadow in a dual meet. It was three [...]
This past week was one of the toughest, grueling weeks that the guys will experience this year. For most high school students, the past 2 weeks have been a time of vacation and fun, but for the Golden Eagles grapplers, the last two weeks have been a time for hard work and improvement. The wrestlers [...]
