Congratulations going out to the Rutland High girls hockey team as the Raiders defeated BFA to win their first ever Division 1 state championship by a score of 2-1. The first D1 state championship won by any team other than BFA or Essex. Rutland beating BFA for its first state championship is like beating the Montreal Canadiens to win […]
So it will be #1 CVU vs. #2 Rutland for the Division 1 boys basketball championship at the UVM Patrick Gym on Monday night. CVU won a close one in their only regular season match-up. I can’t wait! Interested to see how the Fair Haven-Enosburg Division 2 boys basketball semi-final turns out tonight at the Barre Auditorium. Enosburg is #2 seed […]
In boys basketball last night in the D2 semis #5 MSJ defeated #1 seed Mill River 47-40. I thought Mill River would win the game last night, but I’m not surprised MSJ won. The two regular season games were close. In my neck of the woods with all the hoopla about boys basketball, the success of […]
Well it’s semi-final week in boys basketball at the Barre Auditorium. Tonight it’s Division 4 at 6:30 as #1 Twinfield goes up against #4 Danville. I’m going with Twinfield. Division 2 at 8:15 as #1 Mill River goes up against #5 MSJ. I’m going with Mill River. First video cast of womens college lacrosse yesterday. […]
It was so much fun at MSJ last night as MSJ defeated Proctor in girls basketball. It’s always special when a player gets their 1000th career point and Jenna Eaton accomplished the feat for MSJ last night. Jenna is the 3rd girls basketball player at MSJ to accomplish the feat. The other two were on hand last […]
I guess the first real upset of the playoffs in boys basketball was #11 Winooski defeating #6 Rivendell in the D3 playdowns last night. Everything else is pretty much according to plan. If there is a term I hate more than momentum carrying over from game to game …it’s got to be “It’s tough to […]
No surprises in the first night of the boys basketball tournament. It looked like #13 Burr and Burton was going to upset #4 Missisquoi for awhile last night in Division 1, but that was not the case. Had a discussion on the NSN Sports Show yesterday about what you consider to be a “Dark Horse”. I don’t […]
I guess Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway never recovered from being riddled by bullets at the end of “Bonnie and Clyde!” My what a blunder! I know it wasn’t their fault, but I heard somebody compare that blunder to something equivalent in sports and in their opinion it was Jim Joyce blowing the call at first base […]
Great weekend in Rutland! Always fun when Rutland and MSJ get together in any sport even though football is no more and only one game a year in boys basketball with the teams in different divisions. Last Friday night a packed house at Rutland saw Rutland beat MSJ 61-43, but Rutland’s Kyle Cassarino became the […]
The NBA trade deadline came and went yesterday and the Celtics stayed pat. A lot of talk about the Celtics picking up Indiana’s Paul George. According to reports Indiana wanted three players plus a first round draft choice. Oh sure for a guy that will be a free agent after next season and wants to play for […]
