The Galway varsity wrestling team took a one hour and thirty minute ride up to the land of the panthers-Hoosick Falls; on 2/2/2013 to wrestle in the class C tournament.   Overall as a team, the Eagles placed 6^th out of 13 teams. We had 3 finalists; Nico Riccio at 106, Jordan Sartin at 113, and Steven Culbert at 145. They all wrestled extremely well but only Jordan Sartin was able to end the night with a win, becoming a Class C Champion as a 7^th grader. Each of those 3 finalists is guaranteed a trip to the Glens Falls civic center next weekend, along with Ryan Pappalau who took 3^rd at 160 pounds, John Mulligan who placed 4^th at 170 pounds, and Andrew Gilchrist who came in 3^rd at 182 pounds.  Overall, Galway now has 6 wrestlers going to compete for a Section 2 title, and a hopefully a birth into the state tournament.   A sour note on the day was in the early afternoon, when Jay Oakes was wrestling the Greenville 132 pounder. It had been a pretty good match up until a certain point. That point being when they went out of bounds and Jay had hit his head hard.  He continued to wrestle and won the match for his 99^th career win. He was bound and determined to get his 100^th win, but unfortunately the examiners would not let Jay wrestle, and was taken out of the tournament, ending the season early. Being a junior,he still  has another whole year to look forward to and make another run at a Section 2 title. So all in all it was a good day, in Galway in sending 6 out of 10 to the State Qualifiers in Glens Falls, as well as every member of the team scoring points to place us 6^th in the Class C tournament.  For the 6 still competing, the tournament will take place at the Glens Falls civic Center on 2/8/2013-2/9/2013
