Bishop Fenwick outlasts rival
St. Mary’s for season sweep
GOLF

PEABODY ― The Bishop
Fenwick golf team notched a
pretty significant accomplishment
Thursday afternoon, tallying
a 150-135 victory over
Catholic Central League rival
St. Mary’s at The Meadow at
Peabody Golf Course. With the
win, the Crusaders swept both
matches with the Spartans this
season.
“This was a big match for
us and both teams ended up
playing a lot of young guys,”
said Fenwick coach Jim
McHugh. “Our depth really
worked to our advantage in this
one, and we were able to get a
lot of points from the bottom
half of our lineup to pull out the
win.”
Tony Novack led the charge
for the Fenwick golf team, putting
up a match-high 38 points.
Leo Schroeder added 30 points
in the victory, while Louis
Spychalski scored 25 points
and Gianni Mercado scored 16
points.
Despite missing No. 1 player
Aidan Emmerich in the lineup
on Thursday, the Spartans still
got strong performances from
Andrew Potter (26 points) and
Eric Bridges (20 points). Sean
Mathers, Shea Newhall and
Brendan Zollo each scored 19
points in the loss, while Kyle
Rush added 17 points.
“Missing your top player in
a match always hurts, but we
made a good run there and had a
chance,” said St. Mary’s coach
Jay Fiste. “We ended up getting
caught on a couple of tough
holes and that ended up being
the difference.”
A big part of Fenwick’s win
was the team’s home-course
advantage at The Meadow, a
notoriously tricky course that
has plenty of trouble in store for
inexperienced players.
“It’s definitely a little intimidating
for visiting teams,”
McHugh said of The Meadow.
“You have to put the ball in
the right positions out there,
and there are a couple of holes
where you can really get into
trouble.”
While the result wasn’t what
Fiste was hoping for, he was
encouraged by the fact that
his young lineup is starting to
round into form as the season
hits its home stretch.
“Our young guys really are
starting to round into form,”
said Fiste. “We’re trying to get
them into matches, and they’re
playing a lot of golf lately.
We’re hoping that will really
benefit us as we get closer to the
state tournament.”
Fenwick is now 4-1 on the
season.
“I said to the guys after the
match, ‘it’s like Bon Jovi, we’re
halfway there,’” said McHugh.
“We really have to bear down
now and push hard from now
until tournament time.”
St. Mary’s currently sits at
4-4.
“We’ve got a big week next
week with four matches, so
we’re hoping we can come
out of there with a winning
record and put ourselves in a
good position to make the state
tournament.”

The St. Mary’s football team
snapped one of the longest winning
streaks in Massachusetts
Friday night, traveling on the
road to put a 62-14 hurting on
non-conference foe Bellingham
to remain undefeated on the
young season.
The Spartans were led by the
stellar play of multi-sport star
David Brown Jr., who scored five
touchdowns on the day. Brown
rushed for four touchdowns and
returned a punt for another.
Also contributing to the win on
the offensive side were quarterback
Ali Barry and running back
Derek Coulanges, with Barry
rushing for two touchdowns and
Coulanges rushing for one. Alef
Potter also had a solid night, returning
a kickoff 70 yards for a
touchdown.
St. Mary’s (2-0) plays on the
road at Bishop Feehan Friday (6).
