The Frontier middle school girls field hockey team claimed the Valley Cup tournament championship in Holyoke earlier this month, for its fourth title in the past five years.
Eighth graders Leah Meattey and Logen Goddard scored during the penalty strokes competition to win the championship for the Red Hawks. Mona Toschik turned aside all 25 shots in goal for Frontier to snag the shutout.
Naomi Malloy, Natalie Engstrom and Michaela Sloan also registered goals for the Red Hawks in the tournament.
Northampton Community Rowing attends the Head of the Charles
Northampton Community Rowing (NCR) junior and masters teams earned spots via lottery to attend the world’s largest three-day regatta, the Head of the Charles (HOCR), in Cambridge, Oct. 18-19.
Throughout the fall, NCR coached teams trained intently, attending regattas throughout New England which prepared rowers for this fun, grueling event. The course was challenging, requiring a tactical plan and alternative plans as its coxswains and bow seats traversed the Charles River under six bridges with many twists and turns all the while navigating the varied weather conditions and competitive field of numerable boats in each race.
Northampton Community Rowing is a community rowing club welcoming youth and adults to join all year long.
