2 W's for the boys hoop teams

Spirits are high on the bus as we drive home from a 41 point victory at Richford. Up 33-16 at half, the boys finally put together 4 good quarters and came away with the 81-40 win. R. Davis was a stat sheet stuffer with 24 points, 7 boards, and 3 assists. C. Weglarz and T. Griswold had 10 points each and K. Mandigo had 9. The Wolves had season highs in points with 81 and assists with 18. The team also pulled down 34 boards.

The JV boys also came away with the W, 49-39. Sophomore S. Mandigo paced the JV with 23 pts.

The boys tip-off with Northfield at home on Monday 2/1 for a varsity game only at 7pm.

LINKS

Yes, golf season is right around the corner, but I want to talk about a differnt kind of LINK...to your right there are a few links that will take you to permission slips, schedules, and more. One link in particular that I think many will find interesting and insightful is the "High School Today" link. High School Today is the publication of the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS).

The NFHS "has led the development of education-based interscholastic sports and activities that help students succeed in their lives. We set directions for the future by building awareness and support, improving the participation experience, establishing consistent standards and rules for competition, and helping those who oversee high school sports and activities. The NFHS publishes playing rules in 16 sports for boys and girls competition and administers fine arts programs in speech, theater, debate and music. It provides a variety of program initiatives that reach the 18,500 high schools and over 11 million students involved in athletic and activity programs" (source: NFHS.org).

The website and magazine are resources for anyone interested in coaching, current coaches, student-athletes, parents of student-athletes, and administrators. The state of Vermont requires that all varsity coaches take at least two of the classes they offer before they finish their first year of coaching in the state (Fundamentals of Coaching and Sports First Aid).

The link I have posted will take you to the High School Today page, where you will be able to view, in PDF format, the current issues of High School Today. There you will find articles about the current state of Co-curricular activities around the country. January's issue has a great article on fan sportsmanship, and what one school did to change the climate at their games.

Check back frequently to see if I have added any other links. Enjoy

1.27.10 updates

With the boys hockey team facing off with Middlebury at home and the boys basketball team tipping off against Winooski at home, it was a busy night for the Wolves Wednesday.

The Varsity Boys Hoop team lost to the Spartans 44-54. The boys could not overcome a 4 pt. second quarter that put them down 17-31 at halftime. The boys cut the Spartans lead to 4 with just about 3 minutes left but were unable to get any closer. K. Small led the Wolves in scoring with 16 and R. Davis added 14 for the now 3-9 Wolves. The boys travel to Richford for a 7pm game on Friday night.

On the ice it was an exciting game. After honoring the seniors (N.Lamphere-Allaire and W. Thompson) at the final home game of the season, the boys got off to a slow start. After two periods the Tigers were up 4-0. The third started off with both teams playing well and neither team able to score, but then with about 7 minutes left in the game, C. Hinrichs went on another one of his scoring runs (earlier this season he scored 5 goals in a 10-5 loss to Milton), and in about 4 minutes had tallied 4 goals to tie the game. The game was tied after 3 periods and went to a sudden death overtime period, where neither team could muster a goal. The game ended in a 4-4 tie. It was the first tie for the Wolves, who are now 2-13-1 for the season. The boys skate down to Woodstock on Saturday for a 7:30 face-off.

spring sports; cool features

ATTENTION: Spring sports schedules are out and online now. Just hit the "PA Spring Sports Calender" link on the PA Athletics home page and you will find a mix-in schedule like the current winter schedule, where you can view all the upcoming softball, baseball, golf, and track events for spring 2010. The mix-in calender offers a lot of cool features.

My favorites are the email and text alert features.

Say you're a parent or a fan of PA Softball (I know, who isn't, right?), all you have to do is check all the softball games in the mix-in calender and then go to the top of the calender page and select the "add to my calender" feature, or the "remind me by email" feature, or hit the drop down menu of "other event actions" and choose one of the selections. I like the "remind me by text message" feature. Either way, if you have a computer or cell phone, you can have the calender right at your fingertips at all times.

Keep checking back. Fall 2010 schedules are coming soon.
