We're sending ANOTHER Blue Devil to Albany! Congratulations to Astro Johnson on qualifying for the NYSPHSAA State Girls' Wrestling Championship for the first time! After an early setback in the 185 quarterfinals at the Section III Championship, the senior ran the table in the consolation bracket, then won the true second match over Fulton's Hayleigh Lenz to secure a spot at states.
Astro will join our newly minted Section III champion, Rylie Meagher, at the NYSPHSAA Girls' Wrestling Championship on February 26th. Way to go!
Rylie advances to the 2026 New York State Public High School Athletic Association Girls' Wrestling Championship, to be held on Thursday, February 26th at Albany's MVP Arena.
This will be her third appearance at a season-culminating NYSPHSAA event, and her first at one held under "State Championship" status. She appeared in the 2023 and 2024 NYSPHSAA State Girls Wrestling Invitational tournaments in Syracuse, landing a third place finish in 2023.
Blue Devils! Don't forget about the Syracuse Area Music Awards (SAMMYs) People's Choice Awards voting for 2026! They are down to the top eight in each category, and we still have Camden-area entrants in the hunt for all four categories, including our very own Camden High School Band in the area of "Local Academic or Musical Organization".
The fifth round closes on Sunday, February 15th. You can vote once per IP Address per day. If you want to vote on multiple mobile devices in your home, using your cell data is recommended, as you'll only be able to use your home connection once per day. Let's get our community and CHS into the next round!

At today's Section III Division II Boys' Wrestling Championship Meet, sophomore Talon Kimball placed second at 144 lbs, and senior Mason Butler was third in the 132 lb. weight class!

It's a great day to be a Blue Devil, and we hope for more great news tomorrow as the Section III girls' championship hits the mat in Syracuse!
