SPORTS
HIGHLIGHTS January 27, 2005 Youth hockey The only youth hockey game not cancelled by the snowstorm was a Bantam A nail-biter at the MV Arena with Bourne. With 14 seconds left on the clock, defenseman Matthew Flynn took the puck end to end and scored the winning goal, 4-3. The game was tied after the first period 1-1. The Islanders’ goal was by Daren Gazaille, assisted by Colin Hurd. After two periods, the score was 2-2. The MV goal was by Tad Gold, assisted by Scott Cleary. In the third period, Scott Cleary scored with help from Tad Gold and William Inman, setting the stage for Flynn’s game-deciding rush. Mike Capen was the winning goalie. Three MVYH teams have qualified for the state championships to be played at Springfield: Bantam Yankees, Bantam A’s, and PeeWee A’s. An abbreviated Nan Rheault The annual Nan Rheault girls ice hockey tournament was a victim of the weekend snow storm as the Cambridge Rindge and Latin team chose to remain at home rather than risk becoming snowbound on the Vineyard, The tournament was already in trouble as another of the invited guests, St. Bernard’s, had previously cancelled their participation and MV Coach Sam Sherman was unable to find a replacement no matter how far afield he looked. Only Wilmington showed up. Wilmington (9-0-0) and Martha’s Vineyard (2-7-1) faced off at 5 pm, Saturday. The unbeaten Wildcats prevailed, 5-0. MV Coach Sam Sherman was pleased with his team’s efforts. “We played pretty well,” he told The Times, “especially the defense: Sara Sylvia, a freshman; Cera Garvin, playing her first year of high school hockey, and Brianna Sylvia. Kayla Whelen and Meryl Pye, who was under the weather with a flu-like bug, also showed grit. Jen Ward and Dawn McMullin shared goal-keeping duties. MV’s record now is 2-8-1. Coach Sherman hopes to reschedule a game with Cambridge Rindge and Latin, probably in Cambridge. Yesterday the girls were scheduled to play Sandwich here. Harwich recovers The MVRHS girls varsity basketball team threw a scare into the defending state champions of Harwich, Friday, at Harwich, but the Rough Riders recovered midway in the second half to win going away, 40-33. The Islanders led at the half, 20-12. Amanda Gonsalves and Ashley Taylor caught fire in the second period for the home team. Both of them scored 10 points in the period. Meanwhile the Harwich defense packed into the paint forcing Islanders to shoot from outside, a strategy that limited MV to 13 second half points. Kara Rosenthal’s 10 points were high for the purple. Amanda Gonzalves had the game high 16 for Harwich The Vineyarders are 3-8 on the season. Harwich is 7-6. Jayvees, too The MVRHS junior varsity came in second to Harwich, 43-36. The MV high scorers, Julie Perry and Natalie Lucier, both scored 10 points and both fouled out late in the game. Coach Amy Maciel’s JV squad is 4-5 on the year. 20 miler The eighth annual MV 20-miler will start at 11 am, Saturday, Feb. 19. The race is limited to 600 runners and closes four hours after the start. The race begins at the Vineyard Haven SSA terminal and finishes at the Oak Bluffs School. Entry fee is $30, deductible by $1 for each year you have run the event. Discounts guaranteed for entries received by February 1. See www.mv20miler.com. You’re invited The Cape Cod Curling Club (CCCC) will host its first International Junior Tournament beginning Friday, January 28 and continuing Saturday from 9 am and Sunday. The public is invited to attend at no charge. The Swedish team from greater Stockholm will be led by Bjorn Brandberg, an exchange student at Falmouth high school. Bjorn chose Falmouth as his exchange school primarily because of the CCCC. He aspires to be an Olympic curler. The CCCC rink is adjacent to the Sports Center in Falmouth. |
