Sports Stellar soccer! The Stanstead College Spartans celebrated one of their best all-around soccer seasons in recent memory in 2007. The senior boys enjoyed a perfect record in ETIAC League play, from the first kick-off through the end of the regular season and into the playoff championships. This is the second year in a row that the senior boys have captured the championship trophy. Not to be outdone, the senior girls won the ETIAC regular season banner through hard work and determination. What makes this even more special is that it is the first time since 1984 that the senior girls have been able to pull off such a feat. While they couldn’t nail down the playoff trophy in the final game against Alexander Galt, the senior girls can hold their heads Holy Hockey! Senior boys hockey In hockey, the Stanstead Senior Boys Spartans had another remarkable season. In February, the team traveled to Centennial Regional High School for the Graham Neil Provincial Tournament, where they captured the AAESQ provincial title for the third straight year. It’s the fourth time in five years that the Spartans have won the provincial championship and, if you want to go back further, the fifth time in nine years. Team captain Alex Gagnon-Sckoropad was named tournament MVP for the sec- high for their stellar season. In 2006, the junior boys won the regular season title but missed out in the championship final. This year, the juniors ended up in a three-way tie for the league based on their win-loss record but missed out on the banner through goals for and against. They did, however, win the championship in the playoff final. This appears to be the first time the junior boys have earned the trophy in ETIAC history. Top scorer for the team was Massimo Manago Di Buono with an astounding 24 goals. And speaking of history, the bantam girls made it all the way to the playoff championship final against Alexander Galt. This is apparently the first time the bantam girls have made it this far. While the girls lost 1-0 in overtime, they should ond year in a row. The Spartans came back to Stanstead where they capped off their previously earned league banner with a playoff championship final against Alexander Galt – the only ETIAC team to beat the Spartans this year. The Pipers also gave the Spartans a run for their money at the AAESQ semi-final, which went into overtime. But in this final matchup between the local rivals, it wasn’t particularly close, with the Spartans winning 9-4. This was the twelfth year that Stanstead has won the ETIAC playoff championship. If these were repeats, there was one first for the Spartans: For the first time in the 10-year history of the tournament, the senior boys won their own Stanstead College Invitational Senior Boys Hockey Tournament January 11 to 13. The Spartans went 4-0-1 during the three-day event, which saw five teams 24 be proud of their success and perseverance. Congratulations to all the soccer players and our fall student-athletes for an outstanding season. competing in a round-robin format to earn a spot in Sunday’s final. Stanstead’s tie in round-robin play was against the Kents Hill School Huskies of Maine, whom the Spartans ultimately faced in the final. The final score of the nail-biter was 3-2. Stanstead goalie Kevin O’Connor was the game MVP while captain Alex Gagnon-Sckoropad was named the tournament MVP. Senior girls hockey While the senior girls couldn’t crack the Galt powerhouse to make headway in the ETIAC league, the Spartans found success elsewhere. The girls had a full schedule this season, traveling to Maine, Nova Scotia, Connecticut, New Hampshire,
Vermont, and Boston, winning several games on the road. On February 2, the girls won their home hockey invitational. Due to bad weather, the tournament was reduced to three teams Bang-on basketball! champions saw at the tournament. Sports and one day, the winner determined by the number of wins and points. The Senior Boys Spartans had a strong season, capturing the ETIAC regular season title with a 6-2 record, the first time since 1990. In the ETIAC championship semi-final against Massey-Vanier, the Spartans fell behind early 52-30 but fought back to tie it 61-61 with just over a minute remaining, only to lose in a heartbreaker. Perhaps one of the most exciting games of the year took place at home against Chateauguay Valley Regional. Stanstead needed to win this game to qualify for the provincial Visser Provincial Championships. In front of a full and boisterous home crowd, the boys won this very exciting game 75-67. At the Visser, the Spartans ended up in a pool that resulted in an opening loss to a very strong Centennial team. A second-game 67-50 win against Galt put Stanstead in the semi-final against Heritage. While the Spartans lost 47- 55, it should be noted that Heritage went on to win in a final against Centennial and that the Stanstead game was the closest score the eventual Super swimming! Stanstead swimmers again captured the ETIAC championship banner in this three-school league. A team effort contributed to the final first-place ranking. But winning trophies as top swimmers in their division were Mickael Orlando and Nelson Su (tied for senior boys) and Chloe Duprat, who tied with Laura Logan-Chesney of BCS for top senior girl).
