by Phillip NicholsOn May 10, the Campbell Cougars boys track

team took fi rst place, while the Lady Cougars took second. This reversal in fi nishes (on May 1, the girls took fi rst, while the boys fi nished second) shows that both teams are coming into their own.

The boys fi nished in decisive fashion, beating six other teams, including their host, Inter-Lakes, by 10 points and more. Sean Munnelly fi nished in fi rst place during the 800 meter with a time of 1:56.88 and the 1600 meter in 4:24.62. Ben Billings vaulted to a height of 12 feet, 1 inch to earn fi rst place in the pole vault.

The second fastest time of the day in the 100-meter hurdles was 20.9 seconds, by Andrew Picard. Keegan Tanguay fi nished second in the pole vault (11 feet, 6 inches), and Kian Fuertes was just inches behind for the third-place fi nish (11 feet, 0 inches). Connor Perry clocked a 200-meter time of 25.6 seconds for a second place fi nish. Tyler Brennan tossed his javelin 114 feet, 6.5 inches to take second place in his event, and Harrison Vedrani was not far behind with a throw of 114 feet, 2 inches (for a third-place fi nish).

Ryan Perignys time of 54.8 seconds earned him a third-place fi nish in the 400 meter. Rounding out the day for the Campbell Cougars boys team was the 4x400 meter relay team, consisting of Sam Munnelly, Sean Munnelly, Lee Nordyke and Ryan Perigny. This team of young men ran a time of 3:41.11 to take second place to solidify the Cougar victory.

The Lady Cougars were in the hunt, but just came up short taking second

place at the meet. Campbells Savannah Cavanaugh, Alissa Picard

and Caitlin Heaton placed fi rst, second and third in the 100 meters. Cavanaugh ran a 13.24, Picard ran a 13.66 and Heaton a 13.93. Speed upon speed upon speed! Picard also took second place in the 200 meter.

Sam Parzych contributed with a fi rst-place fi nish of her own in the pole vault. Parzych rose to a height of 7 feet, 0 inches to take top honors. In the javelin, Liz McGregor had a qualifying throw of 73 feet, 10.5 inches to fi nish third.

Jamie Minervini completed the 1600-meter run in 6:18.02 while teammate Gabriele Hogan fi nished third with a time of 6:42.1. Both the ladies 4x100 (Cavanaugh, Heaton, Reinitzer and Picard) and 4x400 (Cavanaugh, Roy, Minervini, and Reinitzer) teams fi nished in fi rst place, but their team came up short.

Despite the second-place fi nish, the Lady Cougars have proven they have what it takes.

CHS Track Teams Experience Deja vu with Top Finishes

by Marc AyotteAfter the Alvirne baseball team had its fi ve-

game win streak halted at Londonderry on May 7, they got back into the win column two days later in unconventional fashion over visiting Trinity. The split for the week leaves the Broncos with a 6-4 mark, good for seventh place in the D-II standings.

At Londonderry (8-2), Alvirne had a bit of a revolving door act going on at the mound as they used a total of fi ve pitchers in the 13-6 loss to the second-place Lancers. Alvirne jumped out to a 2-0, fi rst-inning lead when Tyler Brown singled home brother Dan, who had just stolen third, and Greg Emanuelson singled to center, plating the latter Brown. Alvirne added another run in the third only to have Londonderry bounce back with three in their half, knotting the score at three apiece.

The Broncos regained the lead in the visitors half of the fourth when Jacen Hudson picked up an easy RBI on a bases-loaded walk that scored Robbie Flohr. They made it 5-3 when Dan Brown had his turn with a run-producing walk, scoring Emanuelson. But the Lancers put up a pair of runs in each of the third and fourth innings to grab a 7-5 lead and they never looked back.

A sixth inning-Tyler Brown double to center

scoring Matt McKinley fi nished the Alvirne scoring for the day, but the Lancers were not through; adding a fi ve-spot in the last of the sixth for the 13-6 fi nal. Robbie Flohr (3.1 IP, 8R, 5ER, 7 Hits, 4K, 3BB) was tagged with the loss. Kyle McKinley had a nice showing on the hill for the Broncos, going 1.2 innings, allowing an unearned run on three hits while striking out four and walking only one. Offensively for AHS, Tyler Brown led the way with a 2-4 performance that featured a double, two RBIs, and a run scored.

The game at home against Trinity was interesting from a run-scoring perspective as Alvirne came back on three different occasions to tie the score before plating a run in the bottom of the ninth inning; producing the not-oft seen bases-loaded walk to end the game, 4-3.

Trinity had an apparent affi nity for letting Alvirne back in the game as they gave up single runs in each of the fourth, sixth and eighth innings; allowing Alvirne to tie the score on each occasion. Trailing 1-0 in the fourth, Derek Hudson evened the score with one swing; a blast that took aerials off the right fi eld fence. In the sixth, the Broncos were handed a gimme when Greg Emanuelsons ground ball was booted by the shortstop, scoring Matt McKinley to make the score 2-2. After the full seven innings couldnt

determine a winner, the game went into extra innings, and, in the top of the eighth, the Pioneers took the lead one more time at a 3-2. Then dj vu. Another shortstop error, this time off the bat of Jacen Hudson, scored Tyler Brown, sending the game to the decisive ninth inning.

In the home half of the ninth, the Broncos would not have to respond, and, after being given a pair of gift runs earlier in the game, they were about to receive Trinitys grandest gesture of the day. Dan Brown started the excitement when he immediately put himself in scoring positing with a lead-off triple. Matt McKinley then drew a walk (his second of the day) which was followed by an intentional pass to Tyler Brown (also his second of the day); fi lling the bases with Broncos. Derek Hudson stepped up to the plate and would soon become the third member of the second walk of the day club. In admittedly less explosive fashion than was his going yard in the fourth inning, Hudson, in a drama-drenched at bat, took a 3-2 count pitch for ball four, allowing Dan Brown to trot in from 90

feet away with the game-winning run.Though not being involved in the decision,

Derek Hudson went six strong innings on the mound, scattering seven hits and giving up two earned runs while fanning four and walking a pair of Trinity batters. After reaching a 90 pitch count, Hudson was relieved by Kyle McKinley who went the fi nal three to pick up the win (3 IP, 2Hits, 1R, 0ER, 4K, 1 Walk). Kyle was outstanding in relief, refl ected Coach Mike Lee on McKinleys four Ks in a row, including mowing down the side in the seventh inning with runners on second and third. At the plate, the Broncos were led by Derek Hudson (2-3, run, 2RBI, HR, 2BB) and Dan Brown (2-5, run, 3B).

Broncos Enjoy a Walk before You Run Approach

by Phillip NicholsOn May 9, the Campbell Cougar Softball team

played host to Somersworth and, after giving up only two runs and scoring 15, the Lady Cougars won their fi fth straight.

Olivia Martinage continues to pitch well (allowing just three hits and six strikeouts), while senior Brittany McNulla fi nished a home run shy of a cycle and had four RBIs.

Everyone got in on the hitting. Neild provided two RBIs and two hits of her own. The other host of Campbell players that took advantage of Somersworths pitching was Sara Hobbs, Amber Gibbons, Amanda Simoneau and Emma Kuczkowski who provided RBIs as well.

The Cougars continue to stay focused. The goal championship, but one game at a time.

by Marc AyotteAfter losing back-to-back games to begin

the week, the Alvirne girls Softball team inched back toward the .500 mark with a win on the road at Keene on May 13. Just one week ago, the Lady Broncos found themselves with a 4-4 mark after putting together consecutive wins. However, a 5-3 loss at home to Londonderry followed by a disappointing 8-6 setback to lowly Bedford, in which they surrendered three late-inning runs, resulted in the Broncos visit inside the D-I top ten being merely a temporary accomplishment. But with their 7-6 win against Keene, on Tuesday, Alvirne crept back into a tie for the tenth spot, improving to 5-6 with seven games remaining in the regular season.

Alvirne began its three games in a seven-day stretch when they dropped a two-run

decision to the visiting Lancers. Londonderry scored in each of the third through sixth innings and cut the Bronco rally short in the bottom of the

sixth, limiting them to two runs en route to the 5-3 win. Nichole Teague was tagged with the loss in the circle after going the distance, allowing fi ve runs (four earned) on seven hits while striking out six and walking four. Leading the Broncos offensively with a multiple-hit game were Teague (2-3, run, RBI) Christina Guessferd (2-3, RBI) and Kaycee Carbone (2-4, run). Evelyn Susko chipped in with a run-producing sacrifi ce fl y while Kellie Kennedy and Mariah Cote each singled on the day to round- out the Broncos seven hits.

Two days later at Bedford, AHS scored three in the fi rst inning and then added two more in the top of the second to jump out to a 5-0 lead on the host Bulldogs. Bedford chipped away with a run in the third, but then put a four-spot on the board in the fourth; pulling to within a single run. Alvirne maintained its 6-5 lead into the sixth when the Dawgs plated three runners leading to the 8-6 fi nal. Once again, Nichole Teague suffered the loss; surrendering eight runs (two unearned) on 12 hits, striking out six and walking fi ve

in six innings of work. As in the game before, the Broncos recorded seven hits, led by Susko (2-4, run, RBI, 2 Doubles) and Carbone, who also had two hits in four at bats including a double with three runs scored. Picking up one hit apiece were Sara Siteman (triple, RBI, run), Guessferd (2B, RBI) and Gabby Burton with a single and a run.

The third try on the week was a charm for pitcher Nichole Teague as she was rewarded by some shoddy play

by the Blackbird defense. Teague pitched well, picking up the win, going six innings, allowing six runs (four earned) on just four hits while fanning seven. Kellie Kennedy pitched the seventh in relief, giving up one hit and striking out two in getting the save.

With the score tied at 1-1 after fi ve complete, Alvirne took control of the game when they plated fi ve runners. The inning was highlighted by the Broncos only offi cial RBI of the day, a double by Susko that drove in Siteman. However, the lead was short-lived as Keene matched the Broncos with fi ve runs of their own to knot things up again at six apiece, after six. But good fortune found the Broncos in the top of the seventh when they benefi ted from the sixth Keene error on the day. Siteman (2-4, two runs) led off with a single and eventually scored the unearned, game-winning run after the Blackbird shortstop miscued on a Guessferd grounder.

by Marc AyotteThe Alvirne boys and girls track teams made the short trip to

Londonderry on Tuesday, May 13, to compete in a dual meet. In girls team competition, the Lady Lancers nearly doubled up the Broncos, outscoring them 92-47. On the boys side of the ledger, a similar fate was incurred as they fell to their hosts by a 90-44 count.

A week earlier, the Broncos hosted a tri-meet as they competed against

Bedford and Concord. In head-to-head competition, the Alvirne boys were outscored by Bedford, 93-43, while also losing to Concord, 85-50. For the girls, they were on the lighter side of a 118-28 score against Bedford while losing a tighter battle against Concord, 72-60. Highlighting the boys performances were Cody Coulombe, who took fi rst place in the shot put with a distance of 43 feet, 4 inches and G. Nuttal with a top fi nished in the discus with a throw of 99 feet, 8.5 inches while Noah

Bellomo (4:34.9) and Phil Demers (4:38.1) fi nished second and third, respectively, in the 1600-meter run.

Standouts for the Lady Broncos were Brittney Lambert (high jump - 5 feet 2 inches; long jump 14 feet, 6 inches), Tana Tufts (200-meter run 28.1 seconds), Tori LaRoche (long jump 14 feet, 6 inches), Emily Barry (high jump 5 feet even) and Jessica Baker with a javelin throw of 72 feet, 6.5 inches.

At Londonderry, the girls were able to win only two events in which Londonderry had an entry. Tori LaRoche took fi rst place in the triple jump with a distance of 30 feet, 7.5 inches while Brittney Lambert garnered her fi rst-place fi nish in the high jump, clearing the bar again at an even 5 feet. The boys were led by Ethan Rainville discus, 116 feet, 4 inches; Kyle Salucco long jump, 18 feet, 6.5 inches; RJ Younghusband 400-meter run, 53.3 secs; and Phil Demers who ran away in the 3200 meter (10:02.8); beating his competitors by nearly two minutes.
