Congratulations Spring Sports Teams

The Baseball team ended its season on Friday with a hard fought loss to 2 seed Bellows Falls 6-4. Overall it was a fantastic season with the boys finishing a respectable 10-6 and second in the Mountain Division.

The Track team finished up at the State Meet on Saturday at Green Mountain Union High School. Highlights from Saturday were Kayla henry's second straight D III championship in the pole vault. She set a state meet record with her jump of 8'6". Freshman Hannah Merriam burst onto the track scene taking home two individual championships in the 100m and 200m races. Allison Scarf was a four-event scorer, placing 2nd in the 100 meter hurdles, 2nd in the long jump, 6th in the high jump, and 6th in the 200 meter dash. Naomi Paige, Carie Wan, and Jade Segreto ran great legs in a strong 4x800 race. The 4x800 quartet returned to the track for the final event, the 4x400 meter relay, finishing in a very respectable (and points-scoring!) 5th place.  Andrea Coles ran a personal best (15.45) in the 100 meters. The girls finished 4th overall.



The boys were led by the 3rd place finish of the 4 X 400 meter relay of Dylan Ballard, Ben Wan, Danny Stames, and Dylan Baker.  Sophomore Dylan Ballard capped of a tremendous season in the javelin with a fifth place finish (125’ 5”).  He threw 143’ 1” the previous Saturday at the New England qualifier to place 7th, narrowly missing qualifying for this prestigious competition. Danny Stames ran a personal best 4:33.33 to place 6th in the 1500 meter run. 

Junior Ian Sudol ran a personal best in the 200 meter (25.75) and threw the javelin (89’ 9”).  Dylan Baker ran the 200 meter (26.16), and Ben Wan ran another strong race in the 300 hurdles (49.74).  Danny Stames ran a personal best in the 3000m (10:38.45), while easing off in the final laps in anticipation of the soon to follow 4 X 400 meter relay.

The softball team is still playing. After beating 3 seed Windsor on Saturday the girls will host 7seed Enosburg tomorrow at 4:30...They beat Windsor 4-2.

GO WOLVES

Spring sports are springing...

The baseball and softball teams have gotten off to two totally opposite starts this season with the girls winning their first two games with Vergennes (9-3) and Fairfax (8-4) and the dropping their next two to Lamoille and Richford. The boys dropped their first two games with Enosburg and Fairfax and then beat Winooski 2-1 in 10 innings, Richford 12-6, and then used a walk-off two-run homer by Junior DQ in the bottom of the 7th to beat Lamoille last night 3-2.

The games continue tonight (weather permitting) as the teams host Danville at 4:30. Then we hit the road for games at Lake Region on Thursday and wrap up the week at home on Saturday against Fairfax at 4:00pm.

Golf and Track updates are coming soon...

It was a loooooooong winter...

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...

Boys' updates

The Hockey team traveled down to Brattleboro and the Basketball team hopped on over to Lamoille on Friday night. The hockey team came away with the 4-3 win as Sophomore Center J. Thompson netted two goals for the Wolves. The boys play next at home on Saturday vs. the Hilltoppers from St. J. Face off time is 5pm.

The Boys' Basketball team was looking for a little payback after being crushed by 30 points at The Den by the Lancers in the first of two games this season. The game was back and forth all night with the score being tied at 22 at the half and Lamoille being up 29-27 after 3. The game stayed close (31-31), but with 4 minutes left in the 4th, Lamoille started scoring and PA found it hard to fill the hoop. The final score was 44-34, but many of the boys felt good about their effort. They play at Lake Region on Friday 1/14 at 6/7:30

1.4.11 updates

It was a lose-lose situation last night for boys winter sports...First let's get to the hoop action...The boys hosted Lake Region last night at The Den and came away with two L's. The JV game started out with the boys going down 10-1 and after one it was 13-1. The boys then held the JV Rangers scoreless for the first 6 minutes of the second quarter and clawed their way back to make it 20-14 at halftime. The boys fought hard, but the Rangers led the rest of the game and came away with the W. The Varsity game was a different animal all together. the boys jumped out to a 13-3 lead early and led the game until about 4:30 left in the 4th quarter, when Lake Region tied the game at 20. The game then went 22-22, 24-24, and then the Rangers pulled away with two quick layups and a three to go up 31-24. The Rangers added four more and the boys added 4 more and Lake Region came away with the 35-28 win. The boys are now 1-4 on the season and travel to Lamoille on Friday for 6 and 7:30 games.

The boys hockey team, which had been a goal scoring tear for its first 7 games (50 goals), was held scoreless last night at Stowe and suffered their first loss of the season. Stowe won 4-0 and Senior Stowe player Ross Mandigo picked up his 100th career point during the game. The boys look to get back on track as they travel to Brattleboro on Friday for a 3:00pm game with Colonels.

Updates, updates, and oh yes more updates

Hope all you PA sports fans had a fun and relaxing Winter break...school is back in session and a lot happened over the break, so let's get right to it...

First off we have to talk Hockey. As we head into the new year the Hockey Team is now 7-0 and on top of the Lake Division. The first day of the break they traveled to Norwich to take on St. Johnsbury in the first round of the Scott Boyce Memorial Tournament. They won the game 6-5 and took their spot in the championship game the next day against host Northfield. They beat Northfield 8-5 for the championship in game that saw senior J.Caldwell score 4 goals. 
With the hardware for the Boyce Tourney in hand they returned to Green Mountain Arena on 12/27 to face cross-county rival Stowe. In what would prove to be a fantastically played hockey game for both teams, tied 2-2 going into the 3rd period, the Wolves would pull off the W in dramatic fashion. Senior T. Guy would score the go ahead goal unassisted with about 9 minutes left in the game. Caldwell added an insurance goal about 5 minutes later. While the offense got the goals that solidified the win, the team could not have won without the stingy goal-tending of sophomore L. Caldwell. Caldwell was a beast between the pipes stopping 47 of Stowe's 49 shots on net. 
Two nights later on 12/29 the boys  had a rematch with Northfield at Green Mountain Arena. The boys jumped out to a 4-0 lead and it was 4-1 after the 1st period. Northfield came out strong in the 2nd, and with 5 minutes left in the 3rd Northfield took the lead 6-5. With the momentum shifted in the Marauders direction, Coach Loh called a timeout and gathered the team. They responded well and scored 3 goals in the next 1:41. It started with the tying goal from junior S. Loh on a 5-3 power play. Senior J. Caldwell then went the length of the ice skating through the entire Northfield team to deliver a blistering wrist shot past the Northfield netminder for the game winner. Loh added the insurance goal and the boys pulled out the gutsy win 8-6.
The boys travel south down RT 100 tonight for a rematch with Stowe. Face-off time is 6:30...Get there early for a seat and dress warm...

It's hard to see here, but T. Guy is scoring the go-ahead goal against Stowe on 12/27.

Next let's talk hoop. With both the boys and girls starting of winless this year, it was nice to see last week 12/30 and last night 1/3 for them both to get their first wins of the season. 

With the Lamoille game--a 61-31 loss--still fresh in their minds, the boys took to the floor against another cross-county rival Stowe on 12/30. The game started off very evenly matched but ended with the boys getting their first victory of the still young season. Sophomore S. Angione poured in 11 hard-earned points, and R. Davis added 9. Angione was named WLVB/Booth Bros. player of the game by radio announcer Brent Curtis. The offense was good, but the real story was seniors N. Jones and C. Mandigo holding Stowe standout J. Scrubb to just 9 points for the game. The boys tip-off with Lake Region tonight at home; game times are 5:30/7pm...

With Stowe canceling their girls season, we looked to add two game to the schedule for the teams. On 12/28 the girls made the trek down to Oxbow for one of those makeup games. Coach Mac sasid the girls played their best game of the season to that point and were extremely competitive for the duration of the game. However, everytime the Lady Wolves would get close, Oxbow would pull away. The game ended 49-40.
Last night the girls got their first win of the season over Craftsbury 44-26. The girls are 12 deep this year and Coach Mac has no problem playing everyone. All the girls contributed in the W, but it was K. Newton who came away with player of the game honors from Curtis. The Ladies travel south tomorrow to take on Twinfield. Game times are 5:30/7pm.

Not much to report on the Nordic Skiing front. The fickle weather has played a huge role in how much actual skiing is happening, but we'll keep you up-to-date as the season progresses...

Boys Hockey

The boys' hockey team jumped all over North Country Saturday and spoiled the Falcons' opening game at the new Jay Peak Ice Haus by winning 8-3. The boys skated out to a 4-1 first period lead and never looked back. The score after two was 6-3, and Sophomore Goalie L.C. and a stingy veteran defense held the Falcons scoreless for the third period, and the boys added two more to make the final tally 8-3. Senior J.C. led all scorers with 4 goals--yes 4 and 2 assists, Junior C.H. had 2 goals and an assist, Junior S.L. had a goal and an assist, senior P.T. had a goal and two assists, and senior T.G. had 2 assists. The boys' home opener is Wednesday 12/15 at 6 pm vs. Milton. 


Girls Basketball

The girls opened up their season at Northfield on Saturday losing 38-24. The girls jumped out to a good start, but by halftime Northfield was up 7. To start the third quarter Northfield went on a 7-0 run and that was the difference in the game. The girls fought hard to not let the lead grow, but in the end they stalled on the offensive end and were never able to close the gap. The Girls' home opener is Wednesday at 7 vs. Twinfield.

Winter season under way

Practices started after Thanksgiving break and the teams have been working very hard to get ready for the season.

The girls had a very successful scrimmage on Saturday against Mt. Abe and tip off their regular season on Saturday 12/11 at Northfield and have their first home game on Wednesday 12/15 against Twinfield. The girls are young this year and for the first time in a few years Coach Macallister has a full roster of 12. The JV team has 14 players and is gearing up for their season under first year coach Darcie Jones.

The boys had their first scrimmage last night against Lyndon and looked very good. They played hard but more importantly played together. They are also 12 deep and the boys JV has about 14 guys as well. They tip off the season at Fairfax on Tuesday 12/14 and open at home two nights later 12/16 against Twinfield,

Please note that this year all home games will start at 5:30 for JV and 7:00 for Varsity.

The Boys Hockey team, which appeared on the verge of having 10-11 players this year has grown to a mighty 21 boys. Some have not played competitive hockey before, but Coach Loh says everyone has come in with good attitudes and fantastic work ethics. The team looks to be strong and should be very competitive in the Lake Division this year. They have their first scrimmage at U-32 tonight at 8pm and open up their regular season at North Country and the brand new Jay Peak Ice Haus on Saturday at 4pm. No more trips to Stanstead...They open up at home on 12/15 against Milton at 6pm at Green Mountain Arena.

The Nordic Team is low on numbers as in we only have one High School racer as of now...if you are interested in skiing please stop by my office in the next few days and let me know. The first home meet is Tuesday 12/14.

The Indoor Track Team is also a little low on numbers, so stop by if you are interested in throwing events, high jumping, long jumping, or running...we could use a few more...They open up at UVM on Saturday 12/18 at noon.

See you in the stands. GO WOLVES


Just in case you needed a reminder of how good we are and what you'll be missing if you don't come to watch...
