Softball poised for another run...

The Softball team is a healthy 5-1 to start the season with their only loss coming at the hands of a very talented BFA Fairfax team 10-1 at the home opener. Other than that loss the girls have beaten Enosburg 10-6, D.II powerhouse Lyndon 7-4, Lake Region 10-9 (in a nailbiter that saw L.R. almost tie it up in the 7th), and Stowe in a doubleheader 20-6 and 19-5. The girls are led by Senior pitcher Jamie Strek and a senior-heavy infield of Kaleigh Newton at SS, Natalie Hostetter at 2nd, and Olivia Pierce at 1st. Freshman Sabrina Lacasse is holding it down at 3rd and Junior Marissa Benson is playing LF while Freshman Megan LaMare has been starting in RF. Devon Buker has been starting in CF. 

The girls travel to Danville Tuesday, May 1 to take on the Indians at 4:30.

Baseball off to a hot start

After beating perennial D. III powerhouse BFA Fairfax yesterday 5-2, the Baseball team is now 5-0 and on top of the D. III standings. The boys have also beaten Enosburg 9-1, Williamstown 7-1, U-32 11-1, and Lake Region 15-0. Senior pitchers Ryan Davis and Eric Cross have hurled the Wolves to the top spot backed up by a solid defense led by Senior SS Joe Hostetter. Sophomore Catcher Alex Duca has caught some great games and is currently second on the team with a .450 batting average. Senior first baseman Mike Jaquish is first, hitting a stellar .500.

The boys trailed for the first time this season, when after the first inning it was BFA 2, PA 0. They were able to rally behind some great base running and hitting. They got out of a jam in the top of the 6th when Hostetter nabbed a nasty chopper up the middle and, on the run,  threw out the Fairfax hitter. Senior third baseman Avery Cochran then caught a foul fly ball that had him twisting and contorting as the wind blew the ball around over his head. The third out of the 6th looked like sure double for the Fairfax hitter, who was thrown out by Senior center fielder Dylan Quad who made a spot on throw from center to Hostetter at second for the tag out. That gave the Wolves the momentum they needed to finish the Bullets out. Ryan Davis pitched a complete game for the win.

The boys travel to Danville Tuesday, May 1 to take on the Indians at 4:30.

Baseball and Softball season openers

The Baseball and Softball teams opened up their regular seasons with wins at Enosburg yesterday. The Softball team pulled out a come-from-behind victory and won 10-6.  Senior Jamie Strek’s three-run double highlighted a six-run seventh inning that sent the Lady Wolves to the win.

The Baseball team dominated the Hornets and the pitching combo of Cross, Hostetter, and Davis coupled with a stingy defense allowed only 1 run. They beat the Hornets 9-1. Sophomore Shade Ward went 2-for-3 with a double and sophomore catcher Alex Duca had an RBI double as Peoples opened its season with the win.

The next game for Softball is Saturday as they take on Fairfax at 4pm. The JV BB team opens up at home on Saturday as well as they take on Richford in a doubleheader starting at 11am.

Over break the BB/SB teams go back-to-back on 4/17 and 4/18. On 4/17 the SB takes on perennial D 2 powerhouse Lyndon and the BB team takes on Williamstown. Both games start at 4:30.
On 4/18 the teams take on U-32 at 4:30 as well.

Have a great break...

It's back...

That's right...the PA Athletics blog is back. After a very long hiatus that has seen the girls and boys win soccer state championships and the winter season teams and individuals do extremely well, the spring season kicks off this Saturday with the Softball Team as they take on Fairfax at Home for a 4pm start. The JV Baseball Team will also be in action as they host Richford in a double-header that will start at 11am.

In an effort to keep students, parents, and the community up to date, the Blog will once again become the PA Athletics "Home" page.

Keep checking back for updates.
