Salem Generals

The number six seed at 145, David Adams, pulled out a thrilling last second victory against Hudson Falls’ top-seeded Nate Cross at the Glens Falls Civic Center this past Saturday afternoon.

Adams was tied 1-1 with the final seconds ticking away in regulation against Nate Cross, until, with three-seconds left on the buzzer, he scored a match-winning take-down. This made the score 3-1 with one second left on the clock as the wrestlers went out of bounds.

Adams chose the Par Terre position and then just pushed his opponent away giving up one point, but avoiding any possibility of a reversal.

David won the match 3-2 and reserved himself a number-one spot in the division two championships. Both Adams and Cross will continue on to the New York State Tournament.

A Preview

2/7/08

The Salem Generals were scheduled to meet against the Warrensburg Burgers this past Wednesday night in a league match; however, due to inclement weather, the match was postponed until this Friday evening.

Overall the Generals are 11-4 on the season; in league matches, though, they are undefeated. Conversely, Warrensburg is 2-14-1 overall and winless when it comes to league matches.

This would be an ideal match for any Generals fan out there looking for a rip-roaring time – as Salem should have no problem putting the hurt on these Burgers; and Generals Varsity Basketball is scheduled to play Ft. Ann in the same building.
