GHS boys earns share of LL title with tieBy Tom PowersStaff Writer

WATERBURY- How many minutes of play does it take to determine if the Glastonbury Tomahawks or the Ridge-field Tigers are the better team? We may never know- it took 110 minutes Saturday to decide that both team’s were worthy of sharing the Class LL State Championship, as Glastonbury tied Ridgefield 1-1 in overtime in the Class LL State Final.

“Both teams just completely battled and left everything on the field,” Glaston-bury head coach Mark Landers said of

the end result. “It would have been hard for one of us to walk off a loser today.”

Glastonbury entered Saturday’s fi-nal with a record of 16-1-3. The Tom-ahawks, who were eliminated in the first round in 2012, had a thrilling run in this year’s tournament. As a four seed, Glastonbury blew out No. 29 Hamden in round one by a score of 5-0. The next four rounds would test the Glastonbury squad’s will to win, as the Tomahawks were down in every following match.

“I just don’t think we panic even when the clock is ticking,” Landers said of his team’s ability to come from behind.

The Tomahawks were down to 20

Fairfield-Warde in the second round, but came back to win 3-2 in overtime. In the quarterfinals, brothers Brock and

Evan Hassett led a 3-2 comeback, over-time victory over 21 Danbury, and in the semifinals, Glastonbury went down 1-0 to one-seed Greenwich early, but rallied in the second half, scoring two goals in the final eight minutes of play to win 2-1 and advance to the finals.

Saturday’s game would put the Toma-hawks in very familiar territory.

With 16:43 remaining in the first half, Glastonbury keeper Chase Conway stopped a knuckling shot from Ridge-field from going in, but unfortunately could not control the ball, deflecting it straight forward.See ‘BOYS SOCCER,’ continued on Page 6

Of all the youth sports seasons, win-ter is naturally when the majority of kids on a team get sick at one point or another. And this just isn’t because it’s cold and flu season, but also a result of parents, players and coaches not always taking appropriate steps to pre-vent germs from spreading once they join the team.

Parents need to make smart deci-sions when sending their child to prac-tices or games. I always use the rule of thumb that if you wouldn’t send your child to school in his or her condition, he or she certainly does not need to go play a sport — regardless of what he or she wants to do.

I also have the rule that if a child is sick enough to stay home from school, whatever the extra-curricular activity is on the schedule that night is not import-ant enough to attend. It’s not always a popular decision, but I believe it’s the

correct one.But not every child will keep his or

her germs benched at home. There will be times when players on your team just have bad colds, and while each parent certainly needs to make an in-dividual decision, I don’t think having a cold always warrants missing youth sports (or school).

As a result, there will be germs at youth sports practices and games, and it’s up to everyone involved to help fight them.

Kids should never share water bot-tles, which is the biggest germ-spread-er of them all. I always make sure to have extra bottles of water in my trunk in case a player forgets his or hers. It’s still important to drink water, just not out of a teammate’s bottle.

You hear all the time people spread germs the easiest by shaking hands or through any skin-to-skin contact, and yet in youth sports, the most popular way to congratulate a teammate is with a high five. Just picture the germs that are passed along every time a goal is scored. Try to encourage teammates to invent another way to celebrate, one that is still not taunting but also not a passageway for germs.

And lastly, sometimes the responsi-bility has to fall directly on the players’

shoulders, especially as they get old-er and learn how to “fake” being sick or not. It’s important to teach early in the season that it’s a long one, and try-ing to play through an illness not only hurts the team at the time when a play-er can’t give 100 percent, but it could also affect the team in the long term if that same player gets a more serious illness.

Hopefully by involving all three par-ties — coaches, parents and players — strategies can be implemented to prevent germs from spreading. It will make for a healthier, happier winter season.

It is an unfamiliar finish to the sea-son for the Glastonbury’s girls soccer team. After making back-to-back Class LL championship games, including win-ning the 2011 title, the Tomahawks - as the No. 2 seed - dropped a 2-0 match to St. Joseph in the semifinals in West Haven on Nov. 11.

The game was scoreless at halftime and looked to be another shutout for senior Ciara Boucher, but Jenna Bike - one of the top players in the state - was able to respond.

After receiving a pass from Cori Scales, Bike chipped one in past Boucher to give the Cadets a 1-0 lead with 28:03 left in the match.

“She was able to find a way in behind our defense,” Glastonbury coach Joe

Finocchiaro told The Sports Depart-ment after the game.

Lindsey Savko tacked on another one off of a corner with 19:34 left to make it a 2-0 game, leaving it to be an uphill battle for the Tomahawks.

The Cadets tough defense made it a problem for the Tomahawks all night and never really got a good opportunity until about 10 minutes left in the game when Madeline Gray’s shot went off the crossbar

After the game, coach Finocchiaro told The Sports Department “We ran out of luck at the end. If you look at the first two matches, it was kind of similar.”

The second round of the tournament, after receiving a first round bye, the Tomahawks defeated the No. 15 seed Fairfield Warde, 1-0 after defeating them 3-1 in PKs.

The second round against No. 10

South Windsor was the same story, but five kicks couldn’t settle the match. However, the Tomahawks pulled out the 2-1 victory after outscoring South Wind-sor 6-4 in penalty kicks.

Boucher was phenomenal in goal all season, as she only gave up seven goals all season, and had eight saves in her final game as a Tomahawk.

“She has been extremely important,” Finocchiaro said of his senior goalkeep-er. “It’s going to be difficult to replace her leadership as a captain.”

On top of losing Boucher, Glastonbury will lose Sydney Keane, Jillian Ramsey, Audrey Spencer, and Eren Cosgel, but they will keep a solid core going into the 2014 campaign.

Glastonbury looks for 10th win vs. SimsburyBy Brian MazzoneStaff Writer

The Tomahawks do not have a Thanks-giving game, and will be able to enjoy the holiday at home with their families as they prepare for December’s Class LL play-offs.

The game against Simsbury isn’t of-ficially a rivalry yet, but it’s been a good matchup for the two teams of late. This matchup will be played on Saturday night the 23rd.

These two teams are headed in op-posite directions. Glastonbury is cur-rently fourth in Class LL for the playoffs. Although they are 9-1, they have yet to clinch a playoff spot. That makes this week even more important for the Tom-ahawks. If the season ended today, they would face off against CCC rival Hall at home for the first round of the playoffs.

Simsbury is limping to the finish of their season. They come in at 2-8 and would love nothing more than to potentially knock Glastonbury out of the playoffs,

but it will take a once in a lifetime perfor-mance to knock off the 9-1 team.

Glastonbury does it all. Offensively they are balanced, but if they wanted to they could probably pass or run 70 times per game and it wouldn’t make much of a differ-ence. Jalen Ollie has been all world at quar-terback this year. He has had numerous

300 yard passing performances and has been able to use his legs to get first downs for his team. It is said that he is leaning to-wards prep school, but he will have plenty of offers that are out there for him.

This weekend Scott Daniels’ team put in their most impressive performance. Against last year’s Class L state runner

up, Windsor, they dominated the game. Behind Ollie and 6-4 receiver Ethan Er-icson. Ericson has had outstanding per-formances in each of the past two weeks.

The other stud on offense has been running back Donevin O'Reilly who had an unheard of 176 yards rushing, and 112 yards receiving. Those are stats that make him jump out on paper. How would be he stopped? Currently. Glastonbury is showing that they can do it all. On No-vember 15 they had 524 yards of total offense against what is considered to be one of the top teams in the state. Their impressive body of work speaks for itself.

If Simsbury can get anything going, they need to worry about containing line-man Andrew Cavanna who has been a force on both sides of the ball for Glaston-bury. It could end up being a long night for the Trojans.

Glastonbury must worry a bit about overlooking Simsbury and to be looking to far ahead to the playoffs. They have already clinched their division title, but the state championship is always the goal.

Erka Studer | StaffTomahawks’ Quarterback Jalen Ollie is a dual threat, and can run and pass the ball effectively.

Tomahawks earn share of Class LL title

Continued from PAGE 1

Ridgefield’s Daniel Standish sent the deflected ball back past Conway, putting the Tigers up 1-0. Conway would have

another outstanding game for the Tom-ahawks, finishing the game with nine saves, and stopping all future Ridgefield attacks.

Glastonbury would get a huge break

in the second half.With the score still 1-0 in favor of the

Tigers, Ridgefield senior Ryan Casolo received his second yellow card, which earned him a red card and the automatic ejection that comes with it. The Tigers would have to play a man down for the remaining 32:05 left in the half plus two fifteen-minute overtime periods.

“No doubt they deserved it,” Landers said of sharing the championship with Ridgefield.

With time running out in the game, Glastonbury’s championship hopes were nearing an end, but with 2:25 left in the game, junior Tyler Peterson deliv-ered a header off a corner kick to tie the game up for the Tomahawks at 1-1. The 1-1 tie would stand at the end of regu-lation.

“I don’t know how we do it, but once

again we found a way in the last few minutes to tie the game and send the game into overtime,” said Landers.

In the two fifteen-minute overtime pe-riods that followed, both teams were not without opportunities to score. Unfortu-nately for both squads, however, no one was able to put the ball in the back of the net. As finals games cannot end in pen-alty kicks, Glastonbury and Ridgefield would split the title with the 1-1 draw.

“We worked hard as always,” Hassett said, “We were down again but worked hard to get back and have a chance at it.”

Coach Landers was happy with his team’s performance as well. “I’m ex-tremely proud of these guys,” he said. “We came a long way from where we were and we’re state champions, so we’ve got to be happy.”

GLASTONBURYStudent Athlete of the Month

Randy is a sophomore cross country runner at Glastonbury high school, and an honor roll student. But from his list of athletic accomplishments, you would have no idea.

Randy’s cross country and track resume: Freshmen year: All-Con-ference cross country, course re-cord holder at Windham, freshmen course and course record holder at Stratton Brook. All-Conference in-door track, All-State indoor track, All-New England indoor track. All-Conference outdoor track, All-State outdoor track, All-New En-gland outdoor track, winner of the 1600, 800 and 4x800 at the Journal Inquirer as well as the Steve Levin-thal outstanding freshmen award. First place at the freshmen mile at New Balance Nationals in North Carolina. Sophomore year: XC all conference, all state, all New En-gland XC runner. How Randy prepares before a

game: I always listen to my pump up songs before I run and to every race I go to I wear my purple sun-glasses no matter what the weather, they are like my good luck charm. I am very superstitious I never change my warm up routine for fear it will mess up my race somehow. How Randy has improved during the season: I have improved so much this season. Last year during cross country my final finish of the year was 50th at State Opens, this year I made is a step farther and finished 11th at New England Championships. It was a humbling experience at the New England championships seeing how amaz-ing people like Alex Othsburg and Trevor Hopper did after how much

I had improved and still being far away from them at the finish. Randy’s most memorable mo-ment as a Tomahawk: One mo-ment comes to mind. It happened at the New England Championships when my team drove up three hours and stayed in the freezing New Hampshire weather to see me run just one race. They came with ban-ners, with my favorite saying “Ran-dall the Animal.” I had never been more proud to be on a team. I love my teammates.Randy’s proudest accomplish-ment of the 2013 season: We came in the season expecting to not do well at all but somehow we pulled out an amazing race at LL and made state opens against all odds.

GHS girls win Class LL cross country title

By Robert Mayer Staff Writer

MANCHESTER — The CIAC Boys and Girls Division cross coun-try meets held Saturday at Wickham Park had some surprises but also showed some things never seem to change, as Glastonbury and Tolland took the Class LL and M girls titles re-spectively.

In Class LL, Glastonbury repeated as champion and with a very young team doesn’t look to be willing to let go of that title.

The Tomahawks had a tightly grouped bunch which performed well enough to beat runner-up Ridgefield.

Allison McCardle was sixth fol-lowed by Gaelyn Kattman in sev-enth, Kaitlyn Hebert in ninth, Kristen Arborio in 13th and Kaylee Stebbins in 16th.

“We have a good team and they love to run,” Glastonbury coach Brian Collins said. “We knew this would be a tough meet and it seems like every year we have to battle Ridgefield, Simsbury and Conard so it’s never easy.

“A lot of our success comes from the girls hearing about our tradition and wanted to carry that on. That may not always mean we are going to win but we will work hard and give our best effort. Today we had sophomore, freshman, junior, senior, sophomore so this is a very young team.”

Glastonbury and Simsbury finished eighth and 10th in Class LL on the boys side.

Randall Neish was eighth to lead Glastonbury followed by Thomas Chamberlin in 30th, Gabriel Julien 41st, Roberto Piotto 54th and Justin Damone in 80th.

Glastonbury shows strong in XC Open, at New Englands

By Evan MacySports Editor

MANCHESTER — The Glastonbury girls cross country team finished two minutes behind the Open titelists from Tolland, but still earned second place and a berth into the New England Championship on November 9th.

In their impressive run at the New England meet, the Tomahawk girls fin-ished in fifth place, compiling a score of 191.

They were led by Allison McArdle, who clocked in at just under 19 min-utes and in 38th place.

Four other Tomahawks completed the race inside the top 100, including Gaelyn Kattman (46th), Kaitlyn Hebert (56th), Kaylee Stebbins (85th), and Kristen Arborio (95th).

Back on November 1, Glastonbury’s McArdle led the way for the Toma-hawks, the Class LL champions with 20th place in the State Open match.

She was followed close behind by Kattman, Hebert, Arborio and Kathryn Hastings.

The team’s second place finish in the Open was a great follow-up per-formance to their Class LL title a week earlier..

Over on the boys side, Glastonbury sophomore Randy Neish worked hard to meet high expectations set for him during his impressive season for the Tomahawks.

“It was definitely more pressure than any other meet,” Neish said. “I was re-ally nervous before this. I was expect-ed to make it to New Englands, it’s a lot of pressure to meet that.”

But Neish did, clocking in at 16:31 and in 13th place.

“I ran really well,” he said. “I am hap-py with my time , happy with my place, happy to be heading to New Englands.”

Still an underclassman, Neish hopes

this is just the start of what could be a very impressive resume come his se-nior season in 2015.

“I want to be one or two next year,”Neish said. “I want to win this thing by the time I graduate.”

Glastonbury finished the team com-petition in 15th place, a pretty lofty ac-complishment for a team that was a surprise entry in the Open.

“I love my team,” Neish said. “We weren’t expected to do anything at the beginning of the season but we made it here.”

When he made it to Manchester, New Hampshire, Neish finished an im-pressive 11th as the lone Glastonbury representitive in the meet.

He posted a time of 15.48.3, over 30 seconds faster than his 13th place fin-ish at the State Open a week earlier.

Taylor is both a captain and an hon-or roll student, helping to lead two of Glastonbury’s most competitive and

historic programs, volleyball and softball.How Taylor prepares before a game: Before my games I always try to relax and stay calm, but as soon as the warm up music starts I get amped up for the game to bring my energy level high.How Taylor has improved on the volleyball court: During the fall sea-son I felt my in-game IQ increased. This included my anticipation on what the other team would do and prepared me for where and what I should be doing on the court. I also became a more aggressive player this year. I had way more back-row at-tacks and aggregative down balls this fall season than I ever have before.Taylor’s most memorable moment

as a Tomahawk: Facing elimination in the State Tournament, our team came back and beat Ridgefield.in my final home game as a senior at GHS. Being down 2 sets to 1, we won the final two sets including the tie break-er,15-13.Taylor’s proudest accomplishment

of the 2013 season: Going undefeat-ed in our conference 14-0.Taylor’s favorite pro athlete: Derek Jeter.Taylor’s plans for college: Going to pursue Elementary Education and continuing to play volleyball at the next level.
