With Winter behind us--oops wait did I say that?--I mean with Winter sports season behind us, we look forward to the spring teams taking the fields, track and links, but first a little recap of the basketball, hockey, skiing, and indoor track seasons:
After several years of dominance and high numbers of participants in Nordic Skiing, this year was lean. Peoples had one girl and one boy this year on the team. Sophomore A.Coles led the way for the girls, and competed hard all season. Sophomore D. Stames led the way for the boys and skied strong all season long. He logged several top 5 finishes and medaled in 10th place in the boys state classic race, and 11th in the boys state skate race...Stames was also 11th, 1st Honorable Mention on the All-State Nordic Ski Team...
In indoor track it was the same story...A. Scarf was the lone girl and D. Safford was the lone boy. They both competed hard, but it was Scarf who was a one-woman show at states. Scoring enough points to beat entire girls teams, she placed 4th in the long jump, 3rd in the high jump and 2nd in the 55M hurdles. She set new school records in the high jump and the hurdles as well.
In Girls Hoop, the teams did well with the JV improving their skills and increasing their knowledge of the game under first year coach Darcie Jones, and the Varsity finishing 7-13 and losing their first round playoff game to Lake Region. Junior K. Newton was named to the All Mountain League first team, Senior Jill Stein was named to the second team, and Freshman J. Bohannon was named Honorable Mention. The team also earned the sportsmanship award for the league.
In Boys Hoop, both teams also did well with the JV team coming together as a team and playing some very exciting games, and the varsity finishing up 7-13 and hosting Poultney in the first round of the playoff. Winning that game the boys moved on to play rival Hazen at Hazen. The boys lost that game, but had a good season. All-League announcements have not been made yet...
In Boys Hockey the team finished 15-5, got a first round bye and hosted Northfield in the Quarterfinals. They lost 2-1 in OT, but the season was one of the best in recent memory. Junior C. Hinrichs was named first team All Lake Division and Honorable Mention on the All State Team with a 34 goal and 21 assist season. Junior S. Loh was named second team All Lake. Many new kids came out for the team this year and next year the boys should be strong again.
Until next winter...
