After losing the Section II title to Hudson Falls’ Noah Valastro for the second straight year, sophomore John Diekel was disappointed and honest. “He flat-out outwrestled me and beat me,” Diekel said after the 10-2 decision in the 119-pound championship match. “I am not going to stand here and make excuses.” Despite last year’s loss, [...]

Wrestlers defeat Mechanicville
The Golden Horde added an unplanned match to fill the schedule when the highly anticipated match-up with Corinth could not get rescheduled, picking up the Mechanicville Red Raiders and a 54-15 win to end the regular season.

Undefeated, Granville wears Wasaren crown
Stepping up has become something of theme with the Golden Horde wrestlers this season.

Here comes the Horde

Rambling and not the good kind like in a country song
What’s new? I’m hearing from Haynes house of Hope founders committee member Lila Myer that the ticket for the HHoH Sweetheart dinner dance are moving pretty well with 100 couple already reserving tickets. The more the merrier as the Forum holds about twice that. They’re printing more if you’re thinking about [...]
Section II baseball
Horde post season Looks like the Horde grabbed the two-seed in class B as expected and will face the winner between Broadalbin-Perth and Ravena, the 10 and 7-seeds, respectively (at home, see below). Looking over the rest of the pairings and nothing looks easy for any of the teams. In the land of one [...]
