2007B Fall.qxp - Stanstead College

spring term brings home two ETIAC Banners
Stanstead’s golfers claimed the ETIAC golf title by a mere five
strokes over second-place finisher Alexander Galt High School.
The final cumulative result was Stanstead 1368 to Galt’s 1373.
Third place Massey-Vanier finished with 1444 strokes, BCS with
1504.
Stanstead won four out of six tournaments held throughout
the season, including the final ETIAC Tournament at Dufferin
Heights May 29 by only two strokes.
Andrew Smith, Grade 11 and son of coach Lisa Smith, had
the low score for the team and earned his name on the school’s
Golf Shield.
Stanstead may have lost the regular season senior boys rugby
title to BCS but the Spartans brought the pride back home on
May 30 with a 7-3 playoff championship win against their rivals.
The senior Spartans ended the ETIAC season with a 3-2-1
record, including a 12-10 loss and a tie against BCS, whose league
record was 5-0-1.
Stanstead dominated the game from the start but couldn’t put
the ball over the line. Even a penalty kick in the last minute of
the first half went wide.
In the second half, BCS made it onto the board first after a
Stanstead offside allowed BCS to kick for points at 22 metres,
making the score 3-0 for BCS.
The play went back and forth until winger Brian Cho of
Montreal intercepted a pass going down the line. He took off on
a partial breakaway until he was stopped by the last man back.
With strong pursuit from Julian Perrotta of Lorraine, Que. and
Barry Roytman of Staten Island, NY, a tackle was made and
Roytman took off and was never caught. The bench and fans
erupted and the Spartans finally had their first lead of the game.
The kick was converted by Will Murphy of Richmond, Que. and
the score stood at 7-3.
The Spartans held off some valiant BCS drives to the goal line
to hang onto victory.
