GREELEY WINS CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP!

A day after a Nor’easter stormed through the state, all 10 teams of Conference A gathered to compete in the conference championships at Felix Festa pool in Rockland County on Sunday Jan. 30. 

By meet's end, it would not have been a surprise if G swim’s opposition felt as if the blizzard had returned and released its full fury on them.  The Quakers swam to a dominant victory, scoring 488.5 points. Scarsdale finished a distant second with 345 points.  Once again G-Swim’s excellence throughout its entire lineup proved to be the decisive factor.  All Quaker swimmers scored points, with multiple Quakers placing in the top 15 in all eight individual events. 

Relay Results:

G-Swim’s 200 medley relay squad of Oliver Engel, Nadecki, Du and Nack placed 2nd, 0.3 seconds behind Scardale and making a NYS time of 1:38.55.  

G-Swim’s 200 Freestyle relay team of Chung, McHugh, Sakharuk and Suh were on fire as they grabbed 1st, besting their nearest competitor by over two seconds, making a NYS time of 1:27.68 and toppling a Greeley record from 2016.  McHugh sprang like a hungry panther off the block and flew to a time of 21.35. McHugh’s leg was the fastest of both the Greeley relay and all other relay teams.

The 400 Freestyle relay squad was a repeat of the 200 relay. Again, the dream team of McHugh, Sakharuk, Chung and Suh snagged 1st, beating Scarsdale by over one second and making a NYS time.  
 
In the eight individual events, G-swim touched first in six, achieving NYS cuts in each. Captain Suh in the 50 free; Senior Sakarhuk in the 200 free; Junior Hudson “the Dominator” Chung in the 200 IM and 100 fly; Sophomore “Mercury” McHugh in the 100 free and Sophomore Cornish in the 500 free.  

Individual Results:

200 Free: Sakharuk 1st, Cornish 4th (a new NYS cut), Eric Engel 13th and Captain Nack 15th 

200 IM: Chung 1st; Captain Du 5th, McHugh 7th (a new NYS cut), Nadecki 9th. 

50 Free: Captain Suh 1st; Scholmann 9th; Holmes 12th and Gulotta 13th. 

100 Fly: Chung 1st; Moran 8th, Captain Kamal 10th; O’Connor 15th.

100 Free: McHugh 1st (a new NYS cut); Captain Suh 2nd, Captain Nack 7th; Holmes 13th.

500 Free: Cornish 1st, Oliver Engel 4th; Eric Engel 10th.

100 Back: Oliver Engel 6th; Moran 8th; Wohl 10th and Lynch 13th.

100 Breast: Sakharuk 2nd: Nadecki 3rd (a new NYS cut), Captain Du 5th; Schlomann 6th. 

Freshman Ackerman dove in his first Conferences placing ninth and contributing well-earned points to the team.  

The team now has13 individual NYS cuts going into sectionals next week where hopefully more will be achieved. So far, the team has met its goals of an undefeated dual-meet season, as well as conference champions.  On the near horizon, the third goal of a victory in the Sectional Championships looms tantalizingly within their reach in their drive to 345.  

Thank you to Head Coach Meg Kaplan, Assistant Coach Kellachan and AD Geoff Curtis for their leadership and support.

GREELEY BOYS WIN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP!

On Monday, Jan. 31, the weather-postponed League Championship meet was held at the Armory.
 
After their historic win at the Westchester County Championships, the Quaker boys dominated en route to a league championship, scoring more points (120) than the other three teams combined (109). The team scored points in 15 of the 16 events, only missing out on the 4x200m due to a DQ. Greeley posted league champions in nine events, multiple point-scorers in 11 events, a sweep of the pole vault, winning all 16 points for first-fifth places, and a near-sweep of the 1,000m with first-fourth places. They scored 44 points in distance, 27 in jumps, 20 in sprints/hurdles, 17 in throws, and 12 in relays.
 
The girls team was competitive given their roster size, but they simply could not keep pace with an Ursuline team that fielded more than twice as many athletes in a single event (39 in the 300m) than Greeley fielded in total over all events (16). The Quaker girls scored 33 points, taking fourth out of five teams. The team was most competitive in three events with two athletes scoring in each; they scored 14 points in pole vault (taking first and second), 10 in 1,500m race walk (second and third), and five in Weight Throw (third and fifth).

VARSITY GIRLS BASKETBALL
Greeley snapped a nine-game losing streak and picked up its first win since Dec. 4 with a 65-23 win at Poughkeepsie on Monday (Jan. 31).

Senior captain Julia Herzner scored six quick points to put the Quakers up 8-6 with 5:24 left in the first quarter. Junior Emma Rose returned after missing nine games with an injury and also had six points on two three-pointers in the quarter as Greeley took an 18-6 lead. Greeley extended the lead to 28-15 at halftime with Rose scoring 11 points, including three three-pointers, in the first half. Greeley outscored Poughkeepsie 23-2 in the third quarter and eventually cruised to the win.

Rose finished with a team-high 20 points, including four three-pointers, Herzner had 11 points, junior Ramsey Edson had seven points, and sophomore Bella Schulman and freshman Carolina Negrin each had eight points. Negrin's eight points were a career-high on varsity.

Junior Fiona Brown played well with five points and numerous hustle plays. Brown also notched a career-high for points on varsity.

Greeley traveled to Brewster on Tuesday (Feb. 1) for a league game and struggled. The Bears had a 36-4 lead at halftime and a 51-9 lead after three quarters. Brewster won the game, 66-28.

Rose led Greeley with 14 points, including four three-pointers, Edson had six points and Schulman had four points.

Greeley hosted rival Somers last night (Feb. 3) in a league game and got off to good start with a 10-6 lead after the first quarter. Rose scored six points on two-three-pointers in the quarter. Somers, however, went on a run and took a 13-10 lead in the second quarter that expanded to 23-13 at halftime. Somers had a 36-16 lead after three quarters and got a 47-27 win.

Freshman Allie Mosca scored a career-high seven points and Rose had six points. Camhi had five points.

The team was set to honor its six seniors -- captains Kaylin Genda and Julia Herzner, Olivia Camhi, Jessica Ji, Jillian Gordon, and team manager Anna Harasimowicz -- tonight (Feb. 4) when Eastchester visited, but the game was postponed due to school being closed. The seniors will be honored on Feb. 11 before the game against Yorktown.
Seniors Olivia Camhi (25), Jessica Ji (15), Kaylin Genda (20), Julia Herzner (12), Jillian Gordon (10) and team manager Anna Harasimowicz.
VARSITY ICE HOCKEY
An exciting week of hockey saw Greeley emerge riding a three-game winning streak.

Greeley traveled to a chilly Murray's Skating Rink on Friday to take on perennial power Scarsdale. Scarsdale jumped out to a 3-0 lead before Greeley stormed back to forge a 3-3 tie after one period, led by freshman Chris Marlatt, who scored his first varsity goal as well as goals by Ellis and Gabe Adams. Trailing 5-3 in the third period, Ilan Laurence scored with about nine minutes left, making the score 5-4 and setting up the finish of the season. With less than a minute remaining and Greeley on a power play, Coach Perito pulled goalie Ben Madden. The plan worked and a deflection by Jacob Schlatner tied the game at 5-5 with 50 seconds to play. With Overtime looming, Gabe Adams scored a wraparound goal with nine seconds left to give Greeley the 6-5 comeback victory. A wild celebration ensued as the team mobbed Madden, who made 64 saves in the game!

Greeley next faced the ETBE Co-op (Eastchester Tuckahoe Bronxville) team, ranked in the LoHud top 10 and the defending southern Westchester Champs. Madden once against backstopped the Quakers to victory with a 52-save outing in the 7-5 win. Gabe Adams (1G 3A), Ben Cohen (1G 2A), Ilan Laurence (2G 1A), Ellis Adams (2G), Charlie Spar (1G) and Chris Marlatt (1A) all found the scoresheet for Greeley.

Greeley finished their week with a 5-3 victory over a gritty North Rockland club. Junior Ryne Wolberg got the start in goal and picked up his first varsity win. Wolberg had 25 saves on the night - congrats Ryne!! Senior captain Ben Cohen (3G 1A) led the scoring and notched his 100th career varsity point – great job Ben! G. Adams (2G 2A), Marlatt (2A), Spar (1A) and E. Adams (1A) all chipped in as well.

This weekend, Greeley faces two top-ranked opponents at Brewster – Clarkstown on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and archrival John Jay on Sunday at 8:15 p.m.
Greeley celebrates the comeback win over Scarsdale!
VARSITY BOYS BASKETBALL
The Quakers travelled to Fox Lane on Jan. 27 for a rivalry match-up against the talented Foxes.

Fox Lane started shooting well from the onset of the game and that continued throughout. Greeley trailed 18-8 after one quarter and 31-16 at the half. Fox Lane continued to control the game and eventually triumphed, 61-33. A great turnout by Greeley students helped elevate the energy in the building and the Quakers surely fed off of it. Senior Josh Nadel played his most complete game of the season with 15 points and eight rebounds. Ethan Golub added eight points and was tenacious on the defensive side with five blocked shots. Justin Potack added five points and five assists.

On Feb. 1, the Quakers hosted Brewster at HGHS for their second match-up of the season. Greeley moved the ball well through the first quarter and held a slim 13-11 lead. Brewster started shooting better in the second quarter and at the half, led the Quakers by a 24-15 score. Brewster never relinquished the lead and ultimately prevailed, 59-46, to earn a season split with the Quakers. Junior Ben Cohen shot well from the field and scored a season-high 10 points to lead the Quakers. Other scorers in the balanced attack included Gecaj, Potack and Vujanic with seven points each and Fitzsimmons with six points. Josh Nadel led the rebounding effort with seven boards. Next up for the Quakers is a Feb. 4 rematch at Somers. Go Quakers!
VARSITY BOWLING
Alas, the farewell Greeley Bowling tour for Katie Mosca, Coco Baek, and Heather Viana Mulholland has come to a close.

After winning the girls’ league tournament last year, they came back to captain a rebuilding year that included walk on contributions by seniors Tess Friedman and Ethan Solodukhin. Although the final tally will show both the boys and girls teams in seventh or eighth place, the growth this year was tremendous. After reaching to cross the 100 threshold in November, multiple boys have flirted with 200. Averages on both teams have climbed steadily, with most bowlers raising their averages by more than 20 pins. Coco claimed the high series record for the girls this year and Heather bested the high average record. For the boys, Aneesh Roy bested the high series record and Kieran toner is in the hunt for the high average record as we go to press. 

The team will go on next week to participate in an interleague tournament and a night of fun bowling and awards. 
JV BOYS BASKETBALL
Greeley is now 13-2.

Scores this past week:

Greeley 35, Fox Lane 32
Greeley 48, Brewster 30
