Tigers Claw To 27-20 Win Over Canes...
By Mike Cameron
    After a scoreless first quarter featuring some of the biggest hits of the year from both teams on defense, the Tigers moved to the Hurricane 18 off a pretty pass from J.J. Mackey (3-5 for 78 yards) to  Lance Robinson who almost went for a touchdown over the middle. Poor footing slowed him down inside the twenty before  Hartford defenders caught up. Then the Tigers stalled.   Mackey kicked a  4th down field goal that split the sticks and penetrated deep into the end zone. The Tigers were up 3-0 but not for long.
    Hartford quickly unleashed  one of their favorite weapons in running back Jacob VanRyswyk and methodically slogged away at the tough Tiger defense pushing to the Tigers 8-yard line.  Peter Lynch (23-carries for 167 yards and 2-TDs), rumbled in for the score and put the Canes up 6-3.  The point-after kick was blocked by Ben Almquist as he dove out prone and stuffed the ball.

   The Vergennes girls had a great week of play-off soccer this past week. On Monday they played U-32 in awesome game. The first half was tough for both teams, as the goalies were both amazing. But, with three minutes left in the half, Commodore junior Abby Benton nailed the ball into the top corner of the net, just outside of the grasp of U-32's goalie. Five minutes into the second half, Benton scored again, making the score 2-0, Vergennes. Twenty minutes later, senior Elizabeth Goyette made it a solid three goals for the Commodores. The final score of the game was 3-0, Vergennes.
