CHS senior Sydney Matthews was busy during the weekend of February 28th and March 1st, to say the least!
Between three performances of the CHS Musical, "Mamma Mia!", Matthews had to change into an entirely different character on Saturday morning as she participated in the 37th Annual Regional Shakespeare Competition at Syracuse Stage! She earned this opportunity as the champion of the annual CHS Shakespeare Competition held earlier this year.
Performing amidst a field of numerous incredible student performers, Sydney did a remarkable job with her portrayal of Queen Margaret from Richard the III and her performance of Sonnet 130.
This year, she has also amassed some other impressive performing arts credits including appearances in the Area All-State Choir, and the MCMEA Winter All-County Choir.
Way to go Sydney!

Abby Hebble finishes with a 1-2 record at today's state meet in Albany. She scored an impressive win in her second match, which was a split decision on points. Abby earned the win on criteria as she was deemed to be the more aggressive wrestler in the match.
She's been to last year's state invitational, and this year's inaugural state championship. And, she's got three more years of eligibility left, so the sky is really the limit here. Congratulations on a great run this year!
Let's get it started! Abigail Hebble takes on the state's best today at the NYSPHSAA Girls' Wrestling Championships in Albany! Wrestling begins at 10 AM.

Join the Camden Clay Target Team as it gets ready to take aim at its second season! The team provides the opportunity to learn the ropes and compete in shooting sports in a safe, carefully supervised environment, with opportunities to advance to state and national championships!
Signups will be held on February 26th and 27th in the Camden High School Cafeteria. They will be held from 6 to 8 PM each of those two nights. Please bring your student’s hunting license or hunting certificate.
This opportunity is open to students in grades 9-12, including spring athletes! The team competes in regular season contests remotely, and holds practices at its home base, the Camden Rod and Gun Club.
Please note that although this opportunity is available to students playing a spring sport, spring sports practices and games take precedence over the clay target club. If any conflicts arise, athletes should communicate with their coaches.
A range safety course will be required for all new competitors, and will be held sometime in mid-March. Practices will begin at the end of March and will be held on Sundays until competitions begin, and then on Wednesday evenings once the team is in the competition season.
Contact the CCSD Athletic Department with any questions.
Here we go. The Section III Class A Round of 16 happens tonight as the Blue Devils visit South Jefferson.
6 PM Tip. Admission is free for this evening.
