CANTON — Madrid-Waddington and Edwards-Knox staged the 25th annual Bagley Scholarship Classic at SUNY Canton on Saturday. The game has quietly but very efficiently become one of the most sucessful events in Section 10.

M-W prevailed in Saturday’s game 57-32 but the Jackets and the Cougars all came away as winners as over $2500 was raised for the scholarship fund. To date over $50,000 has been raised to fund 100 scholarships according to TJ Bagley, the of Leon and Rachael. who directed Saturday’s events.
Currently scholarship recipients are: Dylan Wood, Benjamin Heller, Abigail Backus-Mackey and Sabryna Matthews.
Leon Bagley was raised in Madrid and after a Tour of Duty in World War II he enrolled at Canton ATI (now SUNY Canton) under the GI Bill. After graduating in 1948 he began a 35-year career with General Electric. Rachel (McFerran) Bagley grew up Edwards and went to work for General Electric in Schenectady.
They were married in 1955 and raised a family of five children while living in Pennsylvania and Mississippi and after retirement spent their summers in Canton.
In 2000 they established the scholarship in honor of Rachel’s mother Ruth McFeerran and Leon’s sister-in law Helen Bagley who were both long-time teachers at Edwards Central and Madrid-Waddington Central.
