Granville-Whitehall Boys and Girls Roll on the Mat
If you are a fan of high school wrestling, the Granville High School gym was the place to be on Thursday evening, December 18th. It was a packed house as the Granville-Whitehall boys tangled with Hadley-Luzerne and the G-W girls hosted duals against Hadley-Luzerne, Burr and Burton, and Berlin-New Lebanon. It was a stellar night for the Hammers as they swept all four matches. The G-W boys rolled over Hadley-Luzerne 51-23.

Greens in winter! The Jr/Sr High’s green house is in full force with fresh herbs, green vegetables and Tower Gardens bursting with fresh produce. Mrs. Nephew’s 7th grade CTE class was preparing to make tasty kale chips. Yes, greens can taste like chips. Thank you to American Hardware in Granville, NY for some of the seeds for growing these beautiful veggies.
