year’s second place trophy and smashed it on the ground. This was the motivation we needed to win the tournament. Our first game was against Thayer. We had recently played Thayer and lost by a big margin. We came into the Thayer game ready to play and ended up tying it 3-3. Mikey Connolly had a shot after time expired which could have allowed us to win the game. Both teams went on to win their next three games. Since we had the same record as Thayer, the winner of the tournament was decided by the number of goals scored. Because Thayer fell short by one goal, we won the championship. Our season had some highs and lows, but we ended up having a good outcome and a lot of fun. from the vending machine, and jump into the boats. There are two types of races, team and fleet. Our team is good at both. Other great team members are freshmen James Hunt, Sean Lynch, and John Flatley and sophomores Alex Pappas, Morgan Rockett, Andrew Warner, and Jay Daukas. The juniors and seniors are Mike Petro ’13, Eddie McCarthy ’13, the captains mentioned above, and Danny Conley ’12. Ms. Rynne and Father Arens do a great job coaching. A few weeks ago the team headed down to Martha’s Vineyard for a day and had a great time. It was a fun learning experience for everyone. The Sailing Team requires a major commitment, but it is fun, and we encourage anyone interested to join. Sailing By Owen Finnegan The Sailing Team has had a good season thus far and hopes to continue well. Seventh and eighth graders John Petro ’17, Owen Finnegan ’16, Ian Kelly ’16, and Mike Rozewski ’16 provide young talent for the team led by captains Will Barnard ’12, Alex Morin ’12, and Kevin Martin ’12. The team has a good mix of older students who are experienced and of younger boys ready to learn. Every day we pile onto a Coach bus and drive the long ride out to Community Boating, Inc. in Boston. From there we don our wetsuits, buy some snacks Third Tennis By Andrew Elcock Third Tennis started off strong, going undefeated for the first three matches. The whole team, consisting of Christian Locurto, Erik and Luke Jones, and John Kapples in singles as well as Sam Gordon, Joe Hunt, Nate Akukwe, and I (Andrew Elcock) in doubles, all contributed to the victories. Unfortunately, the next three teams on the schedule (RL, Fenn and Belmont Hill) beat us, 2
inging our record to 3-3. These games were also great learning experiences for the newer players. Coaches Dagdigian and Grohmann were always encouraging and supportive, even when the team was struggling. They were always ready to teach and help us become the best we can be. Third Tennis is hoping to finish strong and end with no more losses. A tough series of games are coming up, but we are hoping to come out on top. While many of the people on the team are veteran players, some are new or have only played for a few years. The more experienced players do their best to guide them along while they learn, and under their guidance they have already gotten much better and matured as players. Eighth Grade Baseball By Ryan Colgan and Frankie Mahoney Thus far in the season, our team has improved very much and become very successful. Led by our devoted coaches, Mr. Doherty and Mr. Rossini, we have clearly progressed a great deal since the first day of practice. After losing our first game against Belmont Hill, we came back with a solid win versus Fay. We then used our first game as motivation the next time we played the Evil Empire. Our team persevered and came out with the “W” 4-0. From then on, we went on a 7-0-1 stretch, with our only tie coming at Nobles in extra innings. However, we then lost to CM, a talented team that we should have beaten. We are all looking forward to seeing how the team finishes with only a few games remaining. Seventh Grade Baseball By James Orscheln and Alex Zafonte The seventh grade baseball team was not only a great learning experience but also a great way to get oriented with America’s favorite pastime. The team was not exactly acquainted with winning. Our record with one game left is 2-6. The team has not been the best in their record or skill, but it has been a fun team to be a part of. Our first game against Derby was a success. It was a 9-1 win. Brian Craven and Tim DiFiore pitched very well. We then lost a few games, and another few. The seventh grade team has played many eighth grade teams, which has resulted in losses. Towards the end of our season, we had a very fun practice, which included a home run derby, which Will Roche won, and a winning throw contest. The goal of the game was to throw a baseball from center field into a barrel at home plate. After everyone had been given a try three 3
