The Vineyard fields will be lit up tonight as the football team takes on Coyle-Cassidy and again tomorrow when boys’ soccer looks for revenge against the Nauset squad that handed them their first loss. Girls’ soccer will also be home this weekend, playing Scituate at noon on Saturday.
Football
The Vineyarders dropped their second game of the season Saturday, falling 44-22 to an experienced St. Mary’s squad.
Classes started only yesterday at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, but the sports teams are well into the fall season, with a full week of play already under their belts.
The girls of the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School soccer team were on their practice field, arranged in a circle and doing leg lifts while holding a soccer ball between their feet.

With what seemed like a collective exhale, the team finished the warm-up exercise and prepared for the next one.
All-Star Athletes
Six players on the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School tennis team received All-Star honors in the Eastern Athletic Conference, a record number of players from a single team according to head coach Ned Fennessy.
Senior Reid Yennie and sophomore Kent Leonard, the team’s number one and two singles players, were selected, as were doubles players Jackson McBride, Patrick McCarthy, Ryan Sawyer and Justin Smith.
A life on Martha’s Vineyard, last year in Delhi, next year in Cairo and Stanford after that. Some people might relish the comfort and security of the bounded Island domain, but Sarah Johnson, this year’s co-valedictorian at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, wants to explore.
She shares the honor with Mary Harrington, who could not be reached for an interview.
The last teams standing in postseason play, girls’ and boys’ tennis, split their victories in the state tournament this week.
