Vineyard All-Stars
Vineyard fall athletes made an impressive showing in the Eastern Athletic Conference All-Star selections, announced earlier this week.
Cross country: Jeremy Alley-Tarter, Cooper Chapman, Kyle Joba-Woodruff, Hannah Moore, Michael Schroeder.
Field hockey: Maggie Johnson, Meghan McHugh.
Golf: Mike deBettencourt, Chris Morris.
Football: Delmont Araujo, Tyler Araujo, Michael Montanile, Conor Smith.
Boys’ soccer: Rodrigo Honorato, John Marcal, John Oliveira, Jack Roberts.
With the team competing in just three home meets and eleven regular-season meets overall, the accomplishments of the Vineyard cross-country squads can get a bit, well, lost in the woods.
Ryan Fisher was airborne, bare fingers closing around the football intended for the blue-and-white challenger behind him as the fourth-quarter clock flicked from 00:28 to 00:27. The Vineyard senior collapsed backwards across the 10-yard line, football pressed to his chest, players dressed in purple starting to swarm around him, shouts exploding from the right side of the bleachers at Vito Capizzo Stadium on Nantucket.
“Keep the Cup! Keep the Cup!”
Turkey Burner Day
The YMCA feels the pain of your extended stomach. So much turkey, potatoes, stuffing, brussels sprouts (maybe?) and on and on. So what’s a beached whale supposed to do? Burn turkey, burn.
Free of charge, the Y is celebrating its second annual Turkey Burner Day on Friday, Nov. 25. What this means is you can sample all the Y has to offer, from the pool to exercise equipment and exercise classes, for free. The free child watch is also available.
Yes, there is no excuse.
The Vineyarders took home their third win in four weeks last Friday night against visiting Medford, rolling over their opponents 21-0 in last week’s homecoming game and the final home match of the season.
As the Vineyard football team prepares to take on the Nantucket Whalers this Saturday in the final game of the season and the 33rd Island Cup, there is one underlying premise for fans, players and coaches alike to keep in mind.
