Second quarter honor roll...pages 3-4
Don’t look now but it’s Friday the 13th!
By Lexi Abelgore
One of the most unlucky days of the year is
upon us. This year, 2015, is an especially
unlucky year, as the 13th will land on a Friday three times this year compared to 1 Friday the 13th in 2014. It is not known for
sure why Friday the 13th is such a superstitious day, but historians believe that it may
have something to do the fact that both Friday and the number 13 are considered just
plain unlucky because of their connection
with the crucifixion of Christ.
Although superstitions are heightened on
‘
Friday the 13th, they last all year around.
Even G. Ray Bodley students feel unlucky
in certain situations.
Freshman Chris Tetro feels uncomfortable
whenever he spills salt. When it happens,
he say, “I put a little bit of the salt in my
hand and throw it over my left shoulder.”
Senior Maggie Williams, like many others, knocks on wood after certain things are
said. An example that Maggie gave is when
you say something like “I didn’t get a nose
bleed today, knock on wood.” Adding the
phrase “knock on woodí”is meant to not jinx
a situation. Maggie also adds, “I do believe
in Friday the 13th, I have to say. That day
stinks.”
Technology teacherMr. Wilcox admits that
he would not walk underneath a ladder. He
also said that he has broken a mirror before,
an action that is said to cause seven years of
bad luck. When asked if he experienced those
unlucky years, he replied “I don’t know.”
“I’ve had bad luck since I came out of the
womb,” said senior Hope Williams.
Not all of us are superstitious, but if you
are, look out for black cats, full moons and
the number three.

Raiders invade OCC with title hopes on their minds
The Raider wrestlers will be seeking a return to hallowed ground this Saturday when
they head to Onondaga Community College
in search of the Section III Division I title.
Third in 2014 and second best in each of
the prior two seasons, Fulton will look to
take that toughest step forward when the
action begins at 10 am, aiming to reach a
plateau last attained in 2011 when they
charged past the field to claim their fifth
straight title.
Standing in their way is two-time defending champion Baldwinsville, as well as last
yearís runner-up Liverpool, the Warriors finishing three points better in the 2014 at 137
to 134 to relegate the Raiders into the third
position. In 2013 the Bees were two points
better than Fulton in a 145.5 to 143.5 thriller,
and last year Baldwinsville outdistanced the
field by a full 18 points.

Meet (OCC @ 10

The question to be answered on Saturday
is whether the Raiders have enough to regain the top position in the Division I ranks.
Two-time defending champion Mitch
Woodworth, fresh off establishing the alltime Fulton record for wins is seeded first
at 126, while returning kingpin Travis Race
is also the favorite at 170. Woodworth is 330 on the season and Race is 39-6 coming off
this 100th victory of the current campaign,
but both wrestlers know that past glories will
mean nothing when they take to the mats
with a return trip to the New York State Tournament on the line.
Joe Abelgore brings a 30-10 record into
Saturday’s competition as the second seed
at 99 while teammate Wyatt Willis is seeded
fifth in the same weight class. The Raiders
will be counting on big performances from
a group of young wrestlers as eighth grader
Nick Noel (20-16) is the fourth seed at 106,
120-pounder Adam DeMauro is fifth seeded
at 120, and fellow eighth grader Dylan
DeMauro enters the 132 pound ring as an
unseeded competitor.
Sophomore Roy French is the six seed at
113 pounds while junior captain Tim Holden
carries an impressive 38-8 mark into the 138
pound competition as the second seed. Like(continued on page 2)

Excellent season
for Bodley’s Ski &
Snowboard Club
While there are many among us who
would just as soon see the snow melt
away tomorrow, there were more than a
few sad faces on Tuesday night when the
2015 Ski and Snowboard Club season
came to a close at the completion of the
six yearly trips to Labrador Mountain.
This year’s club was one of the best
groups this school has seen in quite a
while and despite some frosty Tuesday
nights, it was one of the best ski seasons
in the past few years. And as this season ends the club would love to continue
on with it while hopefully expanding the
fun filled bunch into next year’s season.
Ski club is a great way to meet new
people and stay active along with learning a new sport that you one continue to
improve on their own.
Every year there are students who have
never set foot on the slopes before in their
life, but by the end of the season they
have come a long way and are able to
take on the trails with confidence.
The cost for a ski pass and six trips in
the chartered bus to Labrador Mountain
is about $200 and includes the price of
lessons for those who may be beginners.
It does not, however, include rental price
if someone needs boots and a board/ skis.
Although the club only takes six trips up
to the mountain together, the pass will
be valid every Tuesday through the rest
of the season. For those interested in
joining, Club Advisor Mrs. Downing is
always looking for new members and
advises every to start saving early for
next year’s edition of the GRB Ski and
Snowboard Club. By Breanna St.Onge
