BrewsterConnections l Fall 2006
Once again, Brewster’s athletics teams enjoyed many successes, including five Lakes Region Championships as well as invitations to five NEPSAC New England Championship Tournaments. Within the overall student body, the number of athletes participating on more than the minimum required team sports continues to rise. As 75 percent of our teams had winning seasons, it is not surprising that more and more students want to be a part of these positive experiences. At the final sports assembly in the spring, 17 graduating athletes received awards for participating on six or more varsity level teams during their careers. The far reaching and uplifting effects of these favorable experiences are palpable throughout the community. The 2005-06 year also marked the completion of my 20th year at the Academy and this anniversary provoked some reflection on the significant differences in the athletic setting, not just at Brewster but overall, that have occurred during this period. Without passing judgment on whether the changes are all for the best, I would like to note just a few. • Particularly for the girls, our incoming students bring with them far more extensive prior experience in organized sports. • Levels of fitness across the board are generally higher. • Varsity level teams have more extensive schedules with a greater portion of games played with non-league schools largely to the south of us thus increasing travel time. • Many more of our students aspire to play at the next level and, in the last few years, have done so in a wide variety of sports. These trends show no immediate sign of slowing down and it is increasingly important for coaches and administrators to work to assure that the players as well as the extended community all work together to continue to focus on the core values of the athletic experience of sportsmanship and fair play. Our varsity coaches submitted the following thoughts and summaries on the 2005-2006 seasons: FALL 2005 Boys’ Soccer Coach Matt Rowley The two-time defending Lakes Region Champions had a new mission, a new goal – to win the New England Championship. From day one returning leaders like Phil Tuttle, Kevin Gilroy, Matt Collier, Matt Lopes and Brendan Marlow were focused on bringing a white banner to the rafters of The Smith Center. Buoyed by newcomers Doug Cotherman, Tim Nicolaus, Chris Short, Nic Teixeira and “Nigerian Nightmare” Emmanuel Negedu, Brewster cruised through the regular season finishing 14-3-1. Brewster started strong beating St. Paul’s in the second game of the year, a preview of the New England Quarterfinals. We continued on this tear losing only to eventual Class A tournament teams Exeter and Bridgton and on our way to another perfect Lakes Region season. Brewster managed big wins over Holderness and Kimball Union Academy as they wrapped up their third straight Lakes Region Championship. The Bobcat boys have gone undefeated in the Lakes Region since September of 2003. 2005-06 Annual Report athletics Kate Turner Associate Director of Athletics l www.brewsteracademy.org l 1
