Congratulations to our Head Coach, Jeremy Matson, on being awarded Coach of the Year by the National Wrestling Coaches Association (Scholastic Division).

A truly dedicated Coach, who established the team in 2022, giving girls in both school districts the opportunity to make their space in and grow the sport of girls wrestling. He pours so much into this program and each athlete. On behalf of the booster club, parents and team— Thank you for all you do!!

“It is an honor to recognize Jeremy Matson, a dedicated public servant,
mentor, and cornerstone of the Schenectady community.

A recently retired Captain with the Schenectady Fire Department,
Jeremy’s career was defined by over two decades of bravery and
specialized expertise. As a New York State Certified Hazardous
Materials Specialist and a member of the NYS Urban/Technical Search
and Rescue Team, he served on the front lines of the region’s most
critical emergency responses, ensuring the safety of his fellow
citizens with unwavering professionalism.

Beyond the firehouse, Jeremy has become a transformative figure in
Section 2 athletics. As the Varsity Head Coach for the
Niskayuna-Schenectady Girls Wrestling Team, he has been a tireless
advocate for the growth of the sport. His leadership was instrumental
in establishing the program’s first dedicated freestyle mat, providing
female athletes with the resources and “Charge Forward” mindset needed
to excel on and off the mat.

Despite his many professional and coaching accolades, Jeremy’s
proudest title is that of father to his three children. Whether
responding to an emergency, coaching at a tournament, or volunteering
for the Schenectady Firefighters Cancer Foundation, Jeremy Matson
embodies the spirit of service and the strength of the Niskayuna &
Schenectady communites.”

Shout out to the Niskayuna Community Foundation! Their support and generosity in aiding both school districts with the purchase of the girls freestyle mat was essential. The girls have been loving the proper amount of space for their needs and the representation of both school districts. Many great memories and successes have already taken place upon it!

Thank you
