W inning aw ards w ere Rob Barker, Most Valuable; Tony O 'Shaughnessey, M ost Im proved; and Coaches' A w ards, M att H am m e and Jesse M inneman.

The JV FootballTeam had one of its m ost successful seasons. The team knew from the start that they could m ake a difference. They took their first loss w ith pride and learned from it. T hroughout the rest of the season they sw itched from w inning to losing a game. The final record was 4-7. Coaches Trau, Fenton, Shackett, and Chalker w ere im pressed w ith this g roup 's determ ination. A w ards were presented to Phil W hite, Most Valuable; John Beck, M ost Im­proved; and Akil Geddie, Coaches' Award.

The Reserve Football Team learned a great deal about the gam e of football. The team, m ade u p m ostly of sixth and seventh graders, m ay have been small in stature, b u t they w ere tough. By the end of the season some played in JV games. The MVP was John Pearson and the Coaches' A w ard w ent to A ndrew Miller.

The Varsity Soccer Team had a trem endous am ount of fun, plus a successful season. Team spirit was displayed by the group all year. The record for the season was 9-3-1, including double w ins against Belmont Hill and victories over

28

Gilford and Bow. The defense , led by Arseny Lepiavka, Mike W oodford, and Pat O 'Connell, was aided by saves from keepers John Sabo and Alex Keene. Fred Meyer, w ho scored 19 goals, and David M auser w ith 8 assists, along with Dan Cesere, John Clift, Josh Saunders, Dominic Torretti, and Ryan Welts, controlled the midfield. The striker line of Louis Peppe, A nthony Child, and Mike Reilly was unstoppable. The highlight of the season was the w inning of the N ew England Jr. Prep School Tournament. In the final m atch the Cougars revenged a loss on Parents W eekend and beat the "Bird" 2-0. A wards w ent to Fred Meyer, MVP; John Sabo, MIP; and Dan Cesere and Pat O 'Connell, Coaches' Awards.

Later on in the season, they played this same team again to a 1-1 tie. Trophies were w on by David M adeira, M ost Valuable; I3illy Zuretti, M ost Im proved; and Fernando Mier, Coaches' Award.

The Cross C ountry Team had an interesting season. They were a very young team and yet a very strong one. At the first practice hardly anyone was able to run a mile. By the third day the mileage had picked up. They practiced running the course in segm ents until all were abl( to easily run the 2.7 miles. They did not w in m any m eets against the strong Lake Region League, but against team s m ade up of students their age, they w on easily. A wards were presented to Senior Chris Payn( as M ost Valuable. H e com pleted every race in first place for the Cougars. M ost Im proved Player was Jeff Reisman. The coaches m ade a statem ent that the rest of the team were the recipients of the Coaches' Award.

This year's W ilderness and Rock Clim bing group started out doing a variety of activities, bu t after they all got into the sw ing of things a com ­m on love arose: Rock Climbing. It was som ething they all enjoyed. It takes strength, confidence, and the abihty to overcome the fear of heights. They enjoyed their m any trips to the W inslow Ledges and the ever popular Rock Barn. Coaches' N anian and Exton encouraged and enjoyed this group.

The Intram ural G roup always had a great tim e under the leadership of Mr. H art and Mr. M acdonald. They crisscrossed the cam pus by playing tag football, soccer, boating, sailing, sw im m ing and archery. Trap shooting and volleybvall were also activities enjoyed by all.

Wow, what a great year for the Varsity Basketball Team! When the final count was in, the team had amassed a 25-1 record season: the best in Cardigan history. Led by senior Wilky Colin, tri-captain, and Phil White and Joe Bae, the team had height and agility. The pressing defense often caused turnovers. On the defense the fun­damentals of screening, crisp passing, and boxing out were stressed. They were a fundamentally sound team. The hi-light of the season was the come-from -behind, heart stopping win over Eaglebrook, played in part by an enthusiastic crowd of cheer­ing fans. Other members of this predomi­nately senior squad were Andy Weyl, Alex Keene, Matt Hamme, Tom Parry, Brendan Moeller and Frank Ford. Awards went to MVP W ilky Colin, MIP Joe Bae, and Coaches Award, Phil White.

Despite some ups and downs this year, the J.V. basketball team boasted an 11-8 record, playing a tough schedule. Prac­tices consisted of shooting and passing drills. Richy Thompson, the point guard, always knew the right pass to throw. Bart F rom uth , Sergio A utrey , and Bryan Martinez were starting guards. Ben Rob­erts, Sam Madeira, and Moo Hwan Shin could be counted on for baskets and re­bounding. The hi-Hght of the season was beating rival IRS, winning the game by one point. Because the team was small in total number, one award, the MVP, was given to Richy Thompson.

Reserve Basketball had a good year. Very few on the team had ever played organized basketball, but by the end of the season, the team had more wins (seven) than losses (six). Everyone on the team improved immensely. Awards were given to Louis Bonnecaze, MVP, and Jeff Priess, the Coaches Award.

This year's Varsity Hockey team had an extremely successful season with a record of 29-2-5. Every member of this talented team had a roll to play on the line they were on, and they learned to accept these ro lls perfec tly . W hether it w as forechecking, scoring, or defense, each per­son was strong. With two strong goal tenders, the team knew they could count on them. Everyone else could go out and play his best. A trip to Finland was cer­tainly a perfect ending to a great season. Awards went to Matt Dunn and Rob Miller, the Coach's Awards for outstanding dual goaltending; Jesse Minneman, MIP; and Tye Korbl, MVP.44

The J.V. hockey team had a successful season, despite not having a winning one. They accomplished a great deal, improv­ing their skills and getting to know each other as a team. Hi-lights from the season include Sergio Peralta's shut out in the last game, John M auer's several hat-tricks which kept them in the game, and Alex Rodger's consistant goal tending. Awards were given to Rodrigo Braun and Jake Lynch, Coaches Awards; MVP Defense Award, Alex Rodgers.

The Reserve A Hockey didn 't win as many games as they would have liked, but as a team, they improved a great deal. The goals at the beginning of the season were to win games, improve individual skills, and improve as a team. Work was needed both mentally and physically on all aspects of the game, but by the end of the season, the team started to pull everything together.

The Reserve B Hockey team had two goals for the season: to learn how to play hockey and to have fun. They accom­plished both. Mostly a young team of b eg in n in g p lay e rs , they dev e lo p ed throughout the season and won a few games. Rick Games was the leading scorer with several hat-tricks. Awards were pre­sented to Akil Geddie, MIP, and Fernando Castillo, Coaches Award.

W ithout a doubt the Alpine Ski Team quickly established itself as one of the best New England prep school teams. They were a large team with great depth and there­fore could easily place winners in big races. Some outstanding achievem ents were made by Ethan Dahlberg and Wick Foster, qualifying in Federation Races. Darby Kurland was outstanding in the BWL League. The good news is that most of the top racers are either 6th, 7th, or 8th grad­ers, so things for the future look bright. Awards were given to Sean Condon, MIP; Ethan Dahlberg, MVP; and Darby Kurland, Coaches Award.

This year's Cross Country Ski Team was small in size, but enthusiastic in en­ergy. They competed in theLakes Region Races and tested their abilities with the best of the Senior Prep Schools. Although they d idn 't win any races, they had fun and improved their technique. Zak Sos won the MIP Award and Morgan Conrad gar­nered the Coaches Award.

The Snowboard Team, led by senior: Mike Reilly, Aris Garrison, and Dave Clark had a fun and successful season. The’ competed in many meets and placed win ners in 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th place: throughout the season. Nine individua characters made up this team and the] each contributed to the success and fun.

Three-fourths of this year's Wrestlinj Team were first-year grapplers. However guided by the experienced leadership o Jesse Aghravi, Miguel Miro-Quesada, anc Geoff Reisman, the team overcame doubt: and inexperience and went on to post a 13 2 dual meet record, the second best seasoi in 16 years of Cardigan wrestling. Inspirec by the new practice facility, hours of condi tioning and drilling paid off as the tean vanguished its first seven foes. Garnerin; gold in three tournaments was Reisman while Aghravi earned two titles, and first year Mike Koskey capped off his seasoi with an Eaglebrook title. Other finalist: included Julian Kehaya, Nate Hausman and Miguel Miro-Quesada. 95 pounde Fernando Perez won the gold at the 7tl grade and under Fay Tourney. Reismai was recognized as the outstanding Jr. Prej Wrestler in New England. Other wrestler: contributing to the team's success wen John Kim and Rafael Rojas. In sum, thi team learned why "wrestling, as life, i: character in the making."

Spring SportsThe Varsity Baseball team was

comprised of eleven talented athletes, all of whom benefitted the ball club with their special abilities. The biggest surprise of the season was Jed Clift, who proved to be one of the most consistent hitters along with excellent fielding skills. The infield, many of whom pitched as well, was comprised of Jake Lynch, Tye Korbl, John Sabo, Freddy Meyer, Ben Murphy, and Mike Woodford. Robbie Barker and Tony O'Shaughnessy shared the catching position. Jon Blanchard and Rob Miller determined the outcome of many games with their spec­tacular catches. Coach Lynch felt this team was one of his most talented, posting an 11-4 record against a much more difficult schedule. Jake Lynch was awarded the M.I.P.Award, Tony O'Shaughnessy and Robbie Barker the Coaches Award, and Tye Korbl earned the M.V.P. Award.

The J.V. Baseball squad had an extraordinary season, post­ing a winning 9-3 record. The line-up was led by power hitters Quincey Hills and Tom Parry. Strong pitching from John Sullivan helped the re­mainder of the team combine for success. For the growth that he exhibited over the season, Quincey Hills received the M.I.P. Award. The Coaches Award was given to Luke Shipman and John Sullivan was the recipient of the M.V.P. Award.

Although the Reserve A Baseball team did not have a winning record, the enjoyment of playing together and im­proved skills exhibited by all made the season a success. The single victory was achieved thanks to some very strong pitching by Leo Lares and Fernando Castillo. Showing considerable talent in the infield were Carlos Machado and Rick Games, and a solid outfield included Ben Roberts and Sergio Autrey. The out­standing win was also due to excellent clutch hitting by the entire team, which allowed them the 13-1 victory. The Coaches Award was given to Mike Clerie and the M.V.P. Award to Rick Games.

Due to the extremely rainy season which led to many game cancellations, the Reserve B Baseball team only played three games, ending their season with an 0-3 record. Despite this discouraging statistic, however, the team showed excellent spirit and could point with satisfaction to improved skills and most importantly to the fun they had. Multiple errors exhibited early in the season were mini­mal at the end. Reid Chalker was awarded the M.I.P.Award.

Although the Varsity Lacrosse team was composed of many players new to the sport, thanks to the strength and help of a core of returning players, the team ended the season with

an excellent 9-3 record. While the team overpowered several opponents, most of the contests were very close. The season came to a thrilling climax when the squad overcame a 0-3 deficit to arch rival Eaglebrook to fight back in an overtime 8-7 win, thanks to the spectacular goal by Captain Matt Dunn. Veteran goal tender Will Hol­land proved to be the key element to several wins. Joe Fontanetta received the M.I.P. Award. The Coaches Award went to Pat O'Connell, and M.V.P. was awarded to Will Holland.

Not only did the J.V. Lacrosse team have a very successful season, they also had a great deal of fun learning about the intricacies of the sport. So great was the improvement that the team defeated Eaglebrook 6-5 for the final game. The team also posted wins over Proctor Academy, Middlebury, Lebanon, and Derryfield, all very strong teams. The efforts that came from all of the team contrib­uted to the success; however, goalies Matt Hutchinson and Pat Connors made many outstanding saves to help win a number of games. The M.LP. Award was shared by Patrick and Edward Connors, Steve Howard received the Coaches Award, and senior Frank Ford was designated the M.V.P.

The focus in Reserve lacrosse was learning the basics of the game. The team applied these

56

Page 57: The Blaze - 1996

skills to game situations, fight­ing hard and jelling as a team. The culmination of all of this hard work came in the season's closer, when goalies Chris Robbins, team leader Geoff Reisman, Dave Madeira and Nelson Miller, and top scorer Julian Kehaya led the team to a satisfying victory over Eaglebrook, crushing them 9-4. The M.l.P. Award went to Peter Dionne, the Coaches Award to Dave Madeira, and the M.V.P. to Julian Kehaya.

While the other teams were waiting for fields to dry, the sailing team had to wait for ice to leave the lake. During this time chalk talks were held, teaching less experienced sailors the basics so that once the boats were launched, they would be ready. The first race of the season was a tough loss to powerhouse Brewster Academy. However, the second race posted an encour­aging victory over the Dublin School. In the State Champi­onships, the team participated in both A and B races, finish­ing second to Brewster in the B race and defeating Dublin. In the A division, Andrew Weyl and Tyrrell Nickerson showed extreme skill, placing first ahead of both Brewster and Dubhn by a three point mar­gin. Skipper Awards went to Morgan Conrad and Chris Gosselin, and Andrew Weyl was designated the Most Valuable Sailor.

The Varsity Tennis team posted a 9-3 season. Good conditioning from runs around the lake and tough drills were a key element to success. Alex Keene consistently maintained his number one ranking for the year, followed closely by Arseney Lepiavka. The most difficult matches were against Deerfield, St. Paul's and Eaglebrook. Playing some of his best tennis ever, Alex Keene lost a tiring two setter to an Eaglebrook player who was ranked number two in the Jr. Prep School Circuit. For his steady progress, Alex Keene was award the M.l.P. Award and Arseney Lepiavka won the Coaches Award.

J.V. Tennis was the only team this year that could boast about an undefeated season. Their daily ladder matches helped prepare them well for their opponents. These competitions, in fact, sometimes became more intense and exciting than the inter-school matches.David Mauser, another one of our Mexican players, was awarded the Coaches Award for his excellent play.

The Track and Field Team, comprised of a few new faces combined with some returning veterans, had a successful record of 10-2-1. Captains Chris Payne and Rodrigo Braun led the team in distance events, breaking two school records in the 3200m. and the 3000m. races. Chris was also

Spring Sportsthe top 400m. runner. Braun also broke two other school records in the 100m. hurdles and 110m. hurdles. Wick Foster distinguished himself as a 200m. runner and triple jumper. Other team members showing strength in their events were Dave Clark, Mike Koskey, J.T. Nigro, Richie Thompson, and Rob Kelly. At the New England Junior Prep Championships, the team had two winners. Dave Clark came out at the top in the high jump and Rodrigo Braun showed his dominance in the hurdles. The M.l.P. Award went to J.T. Nigro, the Coaches Award to Rodrigo Braun, and the M.V.P. to Chris Payne.

Early in March a group of students approached Mr. Cermak with the idea of starting a Moutain Biking team. Their enthusiasum caused Mr. Cermak to say "yes". Thus was born a new Spring Sport. A great deal of fun was had exploring new bike routes. Especially enjoy­able was the trip to Clark Pond on Eaglebrook Day, when the team biked fifteen miles.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OFIF-

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you. But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tried by waiting.Or being lied about, don't deal in lies.

Or being hated, don't give way to hating.And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream-and not make dreams you master;If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools.

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken. And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss.

And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone.

And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue. Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch.

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you.If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run.

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son!

Best v/ithes as you enter the next stage of your lives!D ave amd K ath y Joster
