RCK WRESTLING WINS BEACON TOURNAMENT

Congratulations to the wrestling team for winning the Beacon Wrestling Tournament the weekend of Jan. 21-22. Eddy Corporan and Matt Masch were both individual champions. The highlight was Eddy pinning the #1 ranked undefeated wrestler in Section 9 from Washingtonville High School in the championship match. Jonah Usher placed 3rd, Steven Suter placed 2nd, Angelo Battista placed 3rd, Mike Ricci placed 2nd, Asher Slaughter placed 3rd. Matt Masch was also voted the Most Outstanding Wrestling of the entire tournament. This is his 4th MOW award this year.

Ketcham Varsity Cheer placed second at Dover High School's Dragon's Den Competition on Jan. 15. Members of the squad also placed in the top 3 of the longest-held lib competition - Karissa Peters, Angelina Buonato, Peyton Mikelic, Aarysa Moore and Jocelyn Powell.

Matt Masch placed 5th at the Eastern States Classic Tournament on Jan. 14. Many consider this tournament even harder than states and Matt faced strong opponents. He had a huge victory over the #1 ranked wrestler in New York State (D2). In the quarterfinals, his match was tied 6-6 with :13 left when Matt got a takedown to win. He was defeated in the semi-finals by the two-time Rhode Island state finalist and 2020 Rhode Island state champion.  Matt had the highest finish of any Section 1 Wrestler.

Congratulations to RCK Seniors (l-r) Aidan Farrell (Goalie), Colin Selber (Defense) and Sean Wright (Center, Captain) - all members of the Wappingers Ice Hockey team who celebrated Senior Night on Jan. 14 at McCann Ice Arena against Arlington.
