HIGHLIGHTS March 31, 2005 All-stars to Bourne Both the boys and girls youth basketball all-star teams are entered in the Bourne tournament this Saturday and Sunday… Vanessa Pisano, who set records at MVRHS, is now a senior at Wheaton College in Norton. She led her lacrosse team to a recent 24-4 crunching of Smith with eight goals and two assists. She leads the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference in goals (28), goals per game (7.0) and points per game (7.35). She is second in points (31) draw controls (19), and draw controls per game (4.75).
The MV Youth Hockey Mite teams will play host to squads from Malden and Lower Cape at the MV Arena in a spring tournament beginning Friday at 5:30 when the MV Blacks play Malden. At 6:30 it’s MV Whites vs. Lower Cape, Play resumes Saturday with games at 9:30 and 10:30, and again at 6:15 and 7:15 pm. A consolation game will begin Sunday morning at 9:30. The championship game faces off at 10:40 am The national game Saturday’s varsity baseball scrimmage at Nauset was cancelled due to wet grounds. Instead the Islanders had an in-house scrimmage here. “Good pitching beats good hitting.” True enough! Besides, this was the batters first look at live pitching, so the players had predictable trouble at the plate. The Vineyard’s strong suit is pitching anyway, so it was no surprise to Coach Doug Hoehn that the hurlers had the upper hand Saturday. Matt Kurth pitched two innings, Jacques Penicaud went three. Also on the mound were Billy Panek for three innings and Mike Cecilio for two. Catcher Jordan Hoehn shed his “tools of ignorance” for a turn on the rubber. Ryan Rossi has been sidelined by an injured shoulder, so he did not throw. The Tuesday scrimmage at Mashpee was also a victim of the weather. Two more pre-season scrimmages are scheduled. Today the Islanders are to be at Plymouth North. Sunday they are home to Westford Academy. Opening day is Tuesday, April 5 at Sandwich. First and fast Here’s a date to remember! Wednesday, April 17. On that day the MVRHS varsity and junior varsity softball teams and the JV baseball team will board the New England Fast Ferry bound for Nantucket at 1 pm for games at 3:00 pm. The fast ferry will return to the Vineyard carrying the Whalers varsity baseball team and varsity girls lacrosse team for games here at 4:15. The ferry leaves Vineyard Haven at 3:45 with the MVRHS boys varsity lacrosse team for a 6:00 pm game and returns to MV with the victorious softball and JV baseball teams at 5:15. The Nantucket baseball and girls lacrosse teams set sail for home at 7:00 pm and the MV boys lacrosse players embark for home from Nantucket at 8:30 pm. The fast ferry can carry up to 149 passengers, so parents and fans may accompany the teams. A round-trip ticket costs $20. Not only is this new service a timesaving convenience, it costs the high school some $4,000 less than airfare, the only alternative.
