As part of the Service Learning Challenge, the team had to plan a community event that would give back to the community in some way. The team chose to host the first ever Holliston Film Festival in order to make money for the Art Department at Holliston High School, which had suffered budget cuts for this school year. Their January 31 Film Festival was a success having garnered 14 film submissions and an audience of over 60 people. The festival raised $413. The team solicited prizes from local businesses for the top film submissions: The Candy Cottage, Jasper Hill, Fiske’s, and Published Monthly Mailed FREE to the Community of Holliston Circulation: 6,000 households Publisher Chuck Tashjian Editor J.D.

At the end of the film festival, the team handed out the first place prize to Kyra Allen for her film “Her Name Was Emily”; second place and Audience Award went to Javier Rojo from Venezuela for his film “Spring is Here”; and third place went to Nolan Murphy for his film “Pinball Wizard”. The team decided to award the $413 to the Holliston High School Art Department under the care of Mr. Doug Lack so that he could purchase a color printer for the school. Now that the team’s community event was over, they had to put together a skit to showcase the event to DI appraisers at the Regional Tournament, which took place at Holliston High School on March 19. The skit they created featured four super heroes: Captain Plan It, Film Buff, Morph Man, and Smooth Two Holliston DI team members, Abby Meltzer and Ryan Cahill, giving a check for $413 to Mr. Doug Lack, Fine & Performing Arts Department Leader and instructor at Holliston High School.

Deland, Esq. join other performers to demonstrate three traditional Thai folk dance arrangements choreographed by Thai dance teacher Kaweetide Teskaew, showcase typical Thai dress, and perform music they have learned under the tutelage of Siriwan Riteuengrung: The “Serng pong larng,” a folk dance of the Northeastern region of Thailand, is performed during traditional celebrations and festivals. The “Seng kra tob mai” or “tapping bamboos” dance illustrates the activities of a group of villagers from the southern part of the region, known as Isan. The dancers each hold two sticks, with which they execute complex choreographic movements, shaking the sticks and tapping them lightly. Fon, or the “Cow bell dance” is typically seen in northern Thailand. It is performed in groups and has very slow, graceful, almost meditative movements. The music of Thailand is a treat to enjoy. Some of the native musical instruments will include the “ranat ek,” similar to our alto xylophone; the “jakhe,” a crocodile-shaped, fretted floor zither with three strings; the “saw u,” a bowed, string instrument and its cousin, the “saw duang,” a twostringed instrument played vertically on the lap; and the “khim,” a hammered dulcimer. Culture Fest will also feature the beautiful voice of Jorbley De Souza, a local resident of Brazilian heritage. Nine different food vendors will offer items inspired by a variety of ethnic traditions.

We like having a connection with our families, and we invest in our teachers, personally and professionally. Everybody matters.” Preschool teacher Kelly Marshall experienced this kind of personal investment firsthand as she encountered family difficulties. “I don’t know what I’d do without my Dream Station family,” Marshall stated. “I love them.” The Dream Station opened in 2005. McGrath has served as the center’s director since 2013. Twenty-year-old Courtney Brown, a Holliston resident and college student, started at the Dream Station as a seasonal teacher for the December holidays. “Michelle’s a great boss,” Brown quipped with a smile, although McGrath readily added, “I’m more of a supporter.” Brown’s experience was so meaningful she switched her major to early childhood education. She just joined the Dream Station team, and will fit college classes around her work schedule. Another teacher is taking a month’s leave to travel, and McGrath is happy to accommodate. “The core team is pretty stable, because they appreciate being part of a family community,” McGrath added. Awakening Potential in Each Child Dream Station teachers focus on helping youngsters learn selfhelp and social-emotional skills through individual and group play. They provide a safe and engaging environment for young teens, too. Bright, cozy, colorful classrooms provide the perfect environment for preschoolers to learn developmentally-age appropriate concepts. (Photo/Deborah Burke Henderson) Sarah Vallee, office manager; Michelle McGrath, director; and Casey Bishop, school-age coordinator, make up part of the Dream Team early childhood education team. Dream Station teachers focus on relationships and individualized education plans to accommodate students learning at their own pace. (Photo/Deborah Burke Henderson) “We’re helping to formulate the foundation of every child’s life by teaching them the lifelong basics of communication, respect and confidence,” McGrath added. “As we instill these qualities in children, they will grow into productive, self-aware adults.” A One-Stop Shop The learning center houses a variety of educational interactions for children as young as 6 weeks through 13 years of age. The Group Care Program caters to infants, toddlers and preschoolers, each with a specific, structured track. Children experience a nurturing environment that enables learning and creativity through play. A curriculum is designed specifically so each child learns at his pace. Summer School Program June 27th launched the Dream Station’s popular Summer School program, which runs through August 26th and offers students entering first through seventh grade an amazing variety of hands-on learning experiences. Families from Holliston take advantage of a week-by-week enrollment or sign up for the full nine-week summer program. A one-time $50 fee is assessed for any new enrollee. Weekly rates are $225 and shorter stays are available. Themes for the five-day programs include arts or sciencebased activities and off-campus trips to local state parks for hiking, swimming, and organized sports. On-campus treats include a bounce house, petting zoo, and visits from a magician and storyteller. The summer culminates in a circus-type event to which all students’ families are invited. Before and After School Care During the academic year, parents of youth ages 5 through 13 take advantage of the Before and After School Child Care program. Children are dropped at the center at 7 a.m., Monday through Friday, in order to catch a bus to their elementary or middle school. “With morning care,” McGrath added, “we help set the tone for the child’s day. We send each child off with a smile on their face. It can turn around their whole day.” After school care begins at 3:30 p.m. and involves time for youngsters to eat a snack, do homework, and enjoy the stateof-the-art playgrounds. The center closes at 6 p.m. A Successful Team McGrath, Sarah Vallee and Casey Bishop complete the Dream Station administrative team. They work closely with 26 teachers and five seasonal helpers who nurture, educate and care for upwards of 200 youngsters. All employees are CPR-trained and First Aid-certified, and the center undergoes a re-licensing process every other year, as required by the state. Currently, McGrath and Executive Director Maureen Rosenlund are upgrading the security system with the addition of cameras in the lobby area and outside the building. The Dream Station is affiliated with Wee Folk Learning in Bellingham and Early Learning Center in Grafton, two sister education centers, also under the supervision of Rosenlund.

Both of them are made of 100% wood. Both of them come pre-finished (with a factory applied finish), both can also be sanded and refinished on-site. From this point there are differences between the two. The following will define those differences, which will help you decide which product is better for your project. Solid vs. Engineered Wood Flooring Solid: Solid hardwood flooring comes as a ¾” thick piece of solid wood, either with a smooth, unfinished surface which can be finished on-site, or a factory applied, pre-finished surface. Solid hardwood can be installed on or above grade, but not on a slab. It is normally nailed into the plywood sub-floor. Because solid hardwood is a full piece of wood, it is going to react to moisture and humidity like any wood: it will expand when exposed to moisture and it will shrink when exposed to dry surroundings. Therefore, if you live in an area where the humidity tends to be extreme one way or the other, solid hardwood will likely not perform well. Further, with wider plank (4”-8”) styles, gaps from shrinking will be larger (the wider the plank, the wider the gap) than with the thinner planks (2.25” -3.25”) which are more stable as a result. Other things to consider with solid hardwood: if the floor is being finished on-site, it is difficult to show an exact match of what the finish will look like because the actual flooring being finished will be impossible to sample. However, if the flooring is pre-finished, samples are available that show the finish as it will appear. Also, on-site finishing commonly encompasses several coats (at least three) of oil-based polyurethane. We recommend the homeowner vacates the premises (or at least closes off the area if that is possible) during this process, to avoid the smell. Each coat takes overnight to dry before the next coat is applied, plus a day or two for the entire finish to cure, so plan on being out of the house for at least 5 days for the finishing process. Water-based polyurethane finish is also available for an upcharge, without the smell. Oil-based polyurethane will slightly yellow over time, water-based will not. Solid hardwood floors can be sanded and refinished many times. Engineered: Engineered hardwood flooring is a real wood floor manufactured using several layers of wood veneers (composite material), topped with a layer of quality wood that can be finished 2-3 times, depending on the thickness of the wear layer. The grain of each veneer layer runs in perpendicular directions from the next layer, so the effects of humidity or lack of humidity on engineered flooring is limited to each veneer thickness, re- Shouldn’t this be Discover the Golden Pond Difference 50-60 West Main Street Hopkinton, MA 01748 www.goldenpondal.com E Come take a tour and enjoy lunch with us!

Engineered flooring can be nailed or glued to a subfloor or to a concrete slab. It can also be “floated” depending on manufacturer’s specifications. So, it can be used on, above or below grade. Engineered flooring is almost always prefinished, so the variables and conditions to consider with floor refinishing don’t apply until it is time to sand and refinish the engineered floor. It’s as simple as that. This simple guide should help you to choose between solid vs. engineered hardwood flooring. Either way, wood floors are a beautiful choice and will add warmth and texture to any room in the house!

Interested in Volunteering to Videotape Events, Classes, or Activities at the Center? We have an exciting opportunity before us to help inform the community about goings-on at the Senior Center, but we need a volunteer – or several – interested in learning how to use the HCAT remote camera. Once a volunteer is trained (a very simple process that can be arranged at a mutually convenient time), the camera can be checked out from the HCAT studios and used to record events, classes, or activities at the Center, for interviewing staff or volunteers, and for general information about the Center. Once taped, the segment can be used by HCAT for broadcast purposes. Anybody with an interest in learning about use of a video camera, photography interest or experience, or wanting to learn a new skill would be ideal for this opportunity. The time commitment is whatever you want to make of it. To learn more or express your interest, please see Jean.

Last year, many of the grill fires started when the grill was placed right up against an exterior wall.” Marshal Ostroskey also said, “Practice safety around charcoal grills.” Once the coals have been lit, never add lighter fluid to the fire – flames may travel up the stream of lighter fluid resulting in serious burns. Charcoal briquettes give off carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly. “Make sure to always use charcoal grills outside in a well-ventilated area,” he added, “Let the coals cool completely before disposing in a metal container.” Dressing Men for… Special Occasions since 1923! 40 $ • • • • INTE DAM RIOR ICE REPA IRS Decks Resurfaced Safety First • Read and follow the owner’s manual. • Always grill outdoors. • Place grills away from the house and deck railings (about ten feet).

Collaborative Project with Milford Area Humanitarian Coalition, Milford Public Schools Food Services and Hockomock Area YMCA Open to All Kids The Milford Area Humanitarian Coalition is presenting the Milford Summer Food Service Program, sponsored by the Hockomock Area YMCA in collaboration with the Milford Public Schools Food Services team. The program begins on Thursday, June 23rd and will end on Tuesday, August 30th. The program is being offered at three locations in Milford, MA including Memorial Elementary School located at 12 Walnut Street; The Milford Youth Center located at 24 Pearl Street; and the Trinity Episcopal Church located at 17 Congress Street. The Summer Food Service Program in Milford will be serving nutritious lunches for all children who would like to participate (ages 18 and under) Monday through Friday between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Participants must remain onsite while eating and enjoying the meal. Each site will also offer fun, interactive activities after the lunch each weekday. This program is free and open to all. No advanced sign-up or paperwork required. In addition to the free lunch, an afternoon snack is available at the Milford Youth Center from 3 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. each week day. “We are proud that our Y is a place where community comes together to make a difference when we engage in initiatives like the Milford Summer Food Service Program,” said Ed Hurley, president of the Hockomock Area YMCA. “Our partnership with the Milford Area Humanitarian Coalition and the Milford Public Schools will positively impact hundreds of Milford children and families. Collectively we are working to ensure that more kids have the nourishment they need to grow and thrive this summer.” A pilot program was launched last summer in Milford by the Milford Area Humanitarian Coalition (MAHC). The program served 2,200 meals to children over the course of the summer. “Last summer’s lunch program was a huge success. We used private funding to test out the pilot program. The good news is that every child who comes to one of the three lunch sites will be fed each week day this summer. We anticipate 300 to 500 kids a day. The bad news is that there are over 1,400 children in the Milford school system who depend on the school for their meals (reduced price and free) over the Don’t let itchy eyes from allergies ruin your day!

Local Town Pages www.hollistontownnews.com July 2016 Does the Sun Cure Acne? By Lisa Massimiano, Licensed Esthetician, Certified Acne Specialist Owner Skin Smart Salon Many acne sufferers believe baking in the sun cures their acne. Although, sun exposure can have the desirable effect of causing skin to dry out and peel, it also damages the follicles, exacerbates hyperpigmentation (dark spots), and causes skin cancer and premature aging of the skin. In fact, heat and humidity often make acne worse. Here are some tips on how to protect acne prone skin from the sun. Use the right sunscreen. Many acne sufferers shy away from using sunscreen because they think it will make their acne worse. I always advise my acne clients to use a mineral sunscreen. Mineral sunscreen does not contain any irritating chemicals. It is made up of zinc and or titanium oxide and protects the skin by physically blocking the UV rays. Zinc and titanium do not clog pores and are soothing on the skin, perfect for acne and rosacea prone skin. Don’t skimp when applying sunscreen. Most people don’t apply enough sunscreen to get the protection indicated on the label. Apply a generous coat to cover the skin evenly. And, don’t forget to reapply if you sweat a lot during the day or go swimming. Put your watch away. UV rays in the early morning and late afternoon are just as damaging as sun exposure between 10 a.m, and 4 p.m. So, be sure to apply sunscreen before early morning or late afternoon activities. Think outside the beach. Everyday exposure can contribute more to sun damage than the occasional burn you get at the beach. Make applying sunscreen part of your daily, morning skin care routine like shaving or applying makeup. Once it becomes a habit you will never forget. Questions about acne or skin care?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback C. J. Wilson was forced to retire from a promising football career after losing two fingers from fireworks on the Fourth of July weekend. That same weekend, Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul mangled his hand with fireworks. Both of these national athletes set a negative example for impressionable youth. Closer to home, on July 4, 2015, the Saugus Fire Department was called to 7 Oak Point Road for a hand injury to a 23-year old man. The man was lighting off commercial and consumer grade fireworks in his backyard. An explosion injured his hand and he lost multiple fingers. He was med-flighted to Massachusetts General Hos- pital for surgery. A large cache of fireworks were discovered in a bedroom at the residence. State Fire Marshal Peter J. Ostroskey said, “This year, set a good example for your children and leave the fireworks to the professionals this Fourth of July holiday.” On July 5, 2015, a 9-year old boy from Boston received burns to 15% of his body surface area and lost one of his hands when the fireworks he was holding exploded in his hand. His 5-year old male friend was also injured. Ostroskey said, “Children imitate adults. If you use fireworks, children will copy you, not realizing how very dangerous fireworks are.” Fifty-one percent of fireworks-related burn injuries reported by hospitals to the Office of the State Fire Marshal in the last 10 years (2006-2015) were to children under age 18. More than a FIREWOOD 508-380-8717 Full Cord, and Cord-and-a-Half loads, delivered to Metrowest towns. quarter of the victims, (26%), were children under age 10. 4th of July No Holiday for Firefighters Wellesley Fire Chief Rick DeLorie, president of the Fire Chiefs’ Association of Massachusetts, said, “The Fourth of July holiday is a busy time for firefighters making sure the professional displays are conducted properly and are safe for the public; we’re busy responding to all types of fires and medical emergencies,” said Chief DeLorie. “In fact, the week of July 4 is one of the busiest times of the year for fires,” he added. Nearly 800 Major Fires & Explosions from Fireworks In the past decade (2006-2015) there have been 775 major fire and explosion incidents involving illegal fireworks reported to the Massachusetts Fire Incident Reporting System (MFIRS). These 775 fires and explosions caused 11 civilian injuries, four fire service injuries, and an estimated dollar loss of $1.8 million. This is quite a substantial amount since most fireworks related fires are outside brush fires and do not usually have high loss figures. On January 1, 2015 at 7:58 p.m., the Westfield Fire Depart- ment was called to a 1-acre grass fire in a farmer’s field. The fire was started by fireworks. Crews were on scene for one hour. On May 22, 2015, at 3:36 p.m., the Huntington Fire Department was called to a 3-acre brush fire started by fireworks. Firefighters were on scene for over three hours. On June 27, 2015, at 6:11 p.m., the Brewster Fire Department was called to a 2- acre grass fire on Crosby Lane. The fire was started by fireworks. It took companies almost an hour and a half to extinguish the fire. A majority of fireworks fires and injuries occurred during the week of the Fourth of July holiday. On July 4, 2015, a 48-year old Boylston man received burns to his legs from fireworks at an (illegal) show at Lake Hiawatha in Blackstone, MA. Empty mortarstyle fireworks boxes were tossed into a bonfire after they were used. An unexploded one ignited and struck him in his legs. On July 4, 2015, at 11:27 p.m., the Brockton Fire Department responded to a fire in a pick-up truck that was started by fireworks. The owner had been setting off fireworks in his driveway. He waited approximately 15 minutes for them to cool off and put all of the debris in the bed of his truck that had a plastic bed liner. About an hour later a passerby notified him that his truck was on fire. All Fireworks Are Illegal in Massachusetts The possession and use of all fireworks by private citizens is illegal in Massachusetts. This includes Class C fireworks which are sometimes falsely called “safe and sane fireworks. Class C fireworks include sparklers, party poppers, snappers, firecrackers, spinners, cherry bombs and more. Sparklers burn at 1800ºF. It is illegal to transport fireworks into Massachusetts, even if they were purchased legally elsewhere. Illegal fireworks can be confiscated on the spot. Over the 2015 Fourth of July weekend, the Dennis Fire Department in conjunction with the Dennis Police Department confiscated large quantities of fireworks from several locations within Dennis. The estimated value of all the confiscated fireworks was between $7,000 - $8,000.

The league, which was formalized in 1966, underwent some changes in its infancy, but has evolved into one of the most respected conferences in Massachusetts. Its history and the way all the pieces of the puzzle meshed is a tribute to the high school principals who decided to form the league and the man who served as its commissioner for 23 years — Alfred “Hap’’ Mazukina. Mazukina, now 92 and living in retirement in East Dennis, resided in Medfield during his days as the league’s first commissioner. His primary employment was as a guidance counselor at Wellesley High, but his devotion to the league is what made it an immediate success. “I offered many recommendations to the principals over the years, and I’m proud of how well the league has done,’’ he said. “The coaches, players and athletic directors have played such a positive role.’’ Most of the schools that joined the TVL 50 years ago were playing independent schedules. The circuit began with 12 members — six schools formed an Eastern Division and six more comprised the Western Division. The six Eastern schools were Millis, Medway, Medfield, Dover-Sherborn, Holliston and Hopkinton. The six from the West included Bellingham, Norton, Hopedale, Nipmuc, Norfolk Agricultural and Blackstone (merger with Millville came in 1967). Only seven of the original dozen schools played football. They were Millis, Medway, Medfield, Dover-Sherborn, Holliston, Hopkinton and Norton. Bellingham started its varsity program a year later in 1967. The only boys sports that Mazukina scheduled in 1966 were football, basketball, baseball, outdoor track and tennis. Eventually, new sports for boys were added and they included ice hockey, Matt Baker, left, is the Holliston High athletic director, and his father Dennis, right, was the athletic director at Bellingham High for 15 years. Matt starred for Ashland in three sports in the Tri Valley League and Dennis, who also excelled in three sports at Ashland, coached and refereed in the TVL. soccer, lacrosse, indoor track and wrestling. When the TVL was formed, no girls sports were scheduled. But, Title IX began changing the athletic landscape at college campuses, and that move spurred girls sports to become a fixture in the TVL. Not everything was smooth sailing for the TVL in its early days. Some of the smaller schools weren’t able to compete with those with larger enrollments, so defections started to occur. Norton left for another league and the principals welcomed Blackstone Valley Tech to replace Norton. Norfolk Agricultural also left but the formation of the Dual Valley Conference caused a major tremor in the TVL. Hopedale, Nipmuc, BlackstoneMillville and Valley Tech exited for the DVC, leaving the TVL with only seven members. Ashland and Westwood, however, wanted out of the Dual County League (not to be confused with the Dual Valley Conference) and that duo gained TVL membership in the early 1970s. In 2002, Norton decided to return and was re-admitted, giving the TVL its current 10 members. The 10 schools that currently comprise the league are Ashland, Bellingham, Dover-Sherborn, Holliston, Hopkinton, Medfield, Medway, Millis, Norton and Westwood. “The principals had several suggestions for the league’s name,’’ Mazukina said. “They settled on Tri Valley, because three river valleys were located in the towns. The Charles River, Blackstone River and Taunton River are the trio that led to naming the league. It was a logical, geographic decision.’’ During Mazukina’s 23-year tenure as the league’s chief, his tasks dealt with scheduling, assigning officials, administering a TVL basketball tournament and cheerleading competitions, and handling complaints (protests). When Mazukina left in 1988, he was replaced by seven different commissioners. Individual sports had separate commissioners. “Hap deserves lots of credit for the league’s success,’’ said Dennis Baker, who served as Bellingham High’s athletic director for 15 years and played three sports at Ashland when it was a Dual County League member. “He had excellent organizational skills and knew how to maintain cohesion within the league. Hap’s vision on how a league should operate was superb.’’ Baker’s son, Matt, is now the A.D. at Holliston, and he’s the youngest athletic director in the league in terms of service. He’s now heading into his second year as the Panthers’ sports chief. “I feel like everything has come full circle with me being a three-sport athlete in the TVL at Ashland and now working at Holliston running the athletic Alfred “Hap’’ Mazukina was the first commissioner of the Tri Valley League when it began in 1966. He’s 92 years old now and living in retirement on Cape Cod. department,’’ he said. “It’s a topnotch league, as evidenced by the success our teams have in their respective state tournaments. The league has grown since I was an athlete, and it’s exciting to see what the future holds. It’s rewarding to be a former TVL athlete and now current A.D. and be able to help shape the future of this excellent league.’’ Mazukina, who still keeps tabs on how TVL schools are performing, admires the way various programs have dominated a particular sport. “Holliston has done well in football,’’ he said. “And, Hopkinton is a power in track while Medway has been a soccer power. Westwood had a phenomenal run in girls basketball and seems traditionally strong in ice hockey.’’ Dennis Baker, who’s been a field hockey referee in the league, has also coached baseball and softball in the TVL. An athletic director in the circuit at two different junctures, he was the dean of the league’s A.D.s. Baker gives the league a pat on the back in its anniversary year with this comment: “There’s no doubt that the TVL is one of the most respected and admired leagues in the state. And, it’s still going strong at age 50.’’ July 2016 Local Town Pages www.hollistontownnews.com Page 21 Sports Holliston Ultimate Frisbee Brings Momentum to Championship Level By Christopher Tremblay After winning both Invitational Tournaments (Barrington RI and Natick MA) they entered this spring and finishing the regular season with 26 wins and only 3 losses, Holliston was hoping that they could continue their solid play into the Ultimate Frisbee State Tournament. Based on their strong regular season showing the Panthers earned themselves a 2 seed in the Division 2 Tournament. Once in the tournament playing amongst 23 other Division 2 teams, the Panthers not only showed they belonged but were worthy of the number two seed by capturing the State Championship. Following their five games, including two pool wins, Holliston earned a bye into the Semi Finals where they would take on a very talented St Johns Prep. The two teams battled it out in the first half with Holliston holding a slight 7-6 edge, but in crunch time the Panthers got their offense moving and scored every time they had the disc while not turning it over leading to a 12-8 time restricted game. Having lost to Xaverian twice during the regular season, Holliston was looking for revenge in the Championship contest, but unfortunately the number one seed was upset by Somerville. Holliston would carry its semi final momentum over into the championship bout and took out Somerville 13-3 for the title. “We would have liked to squared off again against Xave- Ben Durkee jumps for the catch.

Although they fell to Somerville, the team once again showed its muscle in a sport that is increasingly competitive. Photo by Christopher Tremblay. rian, but it wasn’t to be,” Holliston Coach Chris Levasseur said. “We knew that Somerville was going to be a hard game as they had beaten Xaverian who had beaten us twice. We wanted to play a smart game while staying calm, what I witnessed was probably one of the best executed games I have ever seen.” According to the Panther Coach, Holliston had previously won the State Championship in 2008, but since that title the league has not only grown considerably, it has gotten more competitive. Needless to say this Championship means a lot more than the last. Having become one of the more established programs in the state, everyone wants to go up against Holliston during the regular season. Leading the Panthers throughout the season were senior captains Teddy Campbell, a cutter, and Lee Mogren, the team’s handler. The younger athletes on the team not only respected the duo because of their work ethic, but they also learned from their mentors’ play. In addition to their outstanding captains, Holliston had many talented athletes on its roster; a group that when they made a mistake owned it and then went out to redeem themselves for such errors. One such athlete was junior Peter Georgakopoulos, a cutter by trade, but can play every position on the field if needed. “Peter is an incredible athlete that blows everyone out of the water,” Levasseur said. “He is a great asset to our team; he can throw and handle and has definitely earned the respect of the other teams as well as his teammates.” Kyle McDevitt, Georgakopoulos and James Crews were named the teams captains for next year. Georgakopoulos was the team’s MVP; Mogren (Offensive Player of the Year); Campbell (Spirit of the Game Award); Ben Durkee (Defensive Player of the Year) and Crews (Rookie of the Year).
