Despite the pandemic decimating last winter’s sports season, Lamoille’s Matt Selby and PA’s Tamirat Tomlinson still managed to compete in a generations-old rivalry.
Despite the pandemic decimating last winter’s sports season, Lamoille’s Matt Selby and PA’s Tamirat Tomlinson still managed to compete in a generations-old rivalry.
Despite the challenges faced both in the spring and fall sports seasons, Lamoille students left it all on the field this year.
A senior-led Lamoille Union boys’ basketball team went into the playoffs this spring with the fewest number of regular season minutes logged in all of Division 2 due to COVID-19.
The team went 4-1, fewer games than any other team, illuminating how the pandemic wreaked havoc on schedules. Still, the boys won their first playoff game against Lyndon on St. Patrick’s Day before bowing out against the undefeated No. 2 seed, Montpelier.
Making a run
While a young Lamoille Union boys’ soccer team took a year to improve themselves under the tutelage of coach Jake Benoit, the girls’ soccer team made a playoff run after .500 regular season under coach Amy Sparks.
Despite facing intense harassment from Missisquoi Valley Union High School, the girls defeated their high-seeded opponent in overtime to make it to the quarterfinals, where they fell to Woodstock.
The BFA-Fairfax/Lamoille football team made a triumphant run to the Division 3 football finals, romping over the competition on the way there, where they fell to the No. 1 seed Windsor.
