SC prevailed once again, however,winning the top two spots.The final two events of the season were hosted by BCS atOrford and the finals hosted by Galt at Milby. As expected, SCdominated both events and ended up with a solid victory in theleague championship.Although the scores do not indicate such, there was some verystrong competition around the league, but the depth of theStanstead team was unbeatable.Congratulations to all the golfers for surviving a wet and rainyRugbyGarrett Donnelly, Marc-Olivier Sauriol, Chad Bombardier andSpencer Martin at the BCS tournament in Orford.season; you showed character and grit for all your soggy hourson the course.Senior girls undefeated in ETIACThis spring’s Senior Girls Rugby Spartans proved to be one ofthe most successful Stanstead College teams in many years.The girls were undefeated in the ETIAC league, capturing theirsecond straight playoff championship and winning the regularseason title for the first time since 2004.“This was possibly the most talented team I have coached atStanstead,” said coach Eryn Hessian. “The girls had both strongforward play and quick back moves. It was an exciting team andfun to watch.”Against ETIAC league teams, the girls scored 265 points, comparedto 20 against.

For example,a group of us kept RockIsland’s Larry-The-One-Armed-Cabbie in themoney with frequent (and I admit covert) tripsto Dunham, where we were entertained in secretby the young ladies of St. Helen’s School. A 50-mile trip, each way! Admission to these selectexcursions was limited to prefects and tableheads, in the interests of confidentiality (i.e.there was no one to report our absence fromboth Saturday lunch and dinner).“I feel safe in being able to report theseevents to you some three and a half decadeslater! In any event, having girls (in red blazersand flannel skirts, no less) only a residence hallaway seemed like such a bonus. That said, theintricate planning of encounters with the oppositesex during the all-boys era was an integralpart of our education as the entrepreneurs ofthe future.”These days, Matt is the head of SensibleCommunications in Toronto (www.sensiblecommunications.ca),which provides corporatecommunications and editorial services tocompanies and other organizations.
