VARSITY WRESTLING
Greeley Grapplers Battle at Cornwall Dual Meet Tournament

The grapplers faced strong competition this past weekend, wrestling Cornwall, Warwick, Columbia, and Pearl River.

While it will be another year of the team continuing to rebuild, the team is showing a lot of energy, strong spirit and impressive wrestling.

The Quakers faced the Cornwall Dragons with Tommy Antes and Josh Hametz notching impressive wins. Notching wins against Pearl River was freshman Tommy Packard, who quickly pinned his opponent, and Josh Hametz, who kept battling to ultimately pin his opponent in the second period.

Against the Columbia Blue Devils, Greeley grapplers Tommy Packard, Kai Lueckerath, Vinnie Santelia had impressive wins by pinning their opponents. Tommy Antes, Andreas Gowdie, Mike Tavo, and Diego Villaronga all had impressive wins while facing strong opponents.

In the final match against Warwick, Packard had a strong win going all three periods. Also picking up wins were Luke Richards, who cradled his opponent, and Tavo, who also quickly pinned his opponent.

The grapplers faced Sleepy Hollow on Tuesday (Dec. 15) and take part in the Pawling H.S. Round Robin Individual Tournament this Saturday (Dec. 18).
VARSITY BOYS BASKETBALL
On Dec. 11, the Quakers hosted non-league opponent Clarkstown South for their first home game on the new HGHS floor.

Greeley trailed after the first quarter 20-12 and at the half by a score of 33-21. Clarkstown ultimately triumphed 71-43, shooting a very high percentage from the free throw line and the field for the entire second half, at one point making seven straight field goals.

Connor Melis led Greeley in scoring with 14 points, along with four rebounds. Other scoring leaders included Justin Potack with nine points, three steals and two blocked shots and Ethan Golub with six points. Nicky Tasso had a strong game on the boards, leading the team with eight rebounds followed by Golub with five boards. Ben Cohen entered the game in the second half and immediately elevated the intensity with several pass deflections on the defensive end. Cohen scored five points on free throws and Brandon Fitzsimmons added three second half free throws as well.

Sitting with a 2-2 record this season, next up for the Quakers is local rival Byram Hills, which visits Greeley on Dec. 17 for a 6 p.m. tip-off. Go Quakers!!
