Week in Review 1/18-1/25

Week in Review 1/18-1/25

Girls Basketball hit the road again and split games while down in New York. They beat Grand Street Campus but lost to Archbishop Molloy. It was a lighter week for the Lady Bishops, as they only had one game, which was on Friday night. They had a big win against Matignon. 

Boys Basketball faced some tough competition this week and lost both their games. The Bishops took on Cathedral and Abington. The boys fought hard during these two non-league games. They are not going tot let these loses get in the way as they continue try and make the State Tournament.

Girls Hockey split this week. They started off the week with a loss to the always powerful Cougars of Austin Prep, 2-1. The defeat did not stop them as they took the ice on Wednesday and had a big win against St. Mary’s, 5-1. The girls third game of the week was rescheduled to a later date due to the weather on Saturday. 

Boys Hockey had a lot of practice time this week, as they only had one game. The Bishops hit the ice on Wednesday night and fought hard against St. Johns. Unfortunately they lost 3-0. 

Track and Field came out in high spirits as the raced against Austin Prep. The team was a little short handed and out numbered but that did not stop them. Although they lost everyone showed a lot of effort and for many their hard work payed off. Congratulations to the 10 athletes that placed in their events:

GIRLS

Shot Put - 1st - Julia McRoberts; 2nd - Erin Keating; 3rd - Sarah Golden.

55 Meters - 2nd - Julia McRoberts; 3rd - Kate McCarthy

BOYS

600 Meters - 3rd - Patrick Earner

55 Meters - 2nd - Cameron Gregg; 3rd - Raymond Liriano

Swimming put on a great show on Tuesday afternoon against St. Mary’s. The meet went back and forth and was not settled until the last events. Even with Victoria Butterfield’s 4 first places and Ty Doan 4 first places the bishops fell short. The Bishops swam well once again against Austin Prep on Friday night. They may have been outnumbered and lost but that did not stop them. Some major highlights were:

• Senior Tommy Liu won his first dual meet competition against a strong field in thee the 50 yard Freestyle
• Senior Captain Victoria Butterfield won the 200 Freestyle and finished second in the 500 Freestyle while qualifying for the State Sectional Meet in both events in two weeks. 
• Sophomore Ty Doan won the 100 Fly and achieved a strong second in the 200 IM. Ty also qualifies for the State Meet!

Bishops Week in Review 1/4 - 1/11

Week in Review   1/4-1/11 

This week we feature our AWHS Swim program.

The 2014/2015 swim team is ready to work hard and do what it takes to have a season to remember. Under the new leadership of Coach Lally, the team is already seeing many improvements. They might not be taking first place in each race but they are without a doubt the ones with the most effort and heart. The team is also led by senior captain Victoria Butterfield who is doing great things in and out of the pool. Sophomore Vy Doan is also stepping up and showing complete dedication. These two are always ready to race in any race that coach asks them to do.

In each meet of the season there have been, on an average, approximately ten athletes who have gone out and achieved a personal best. This is great accomplishment, as it shows how everyone’s hard work is paying off. It doesn't even matter what grade you are in, as Teddy Rossini has shown. He is the youngest member on the team as a seventh grader, but has gone out and finished second in the 50 free. It did not even bother him that there were seniors jumping off the platform right next to him. Victoria Butterfield and Vy Doan have also achieved greatness so far. To date these two have won each individual race they have done. They are supported by a team full of swimmers who are also striving for these great achievements. Another standout of the season is Colleen O’Callaghan. She has shaved off 20 seconds from her Individual Medley time. The hard work is really starting to pay off!

Coach Lally has perfectly summed up the great attitude of this swim team, "We are trying to instill a culture of hard work and dedication mixed with fun. Swimming is not an easy sport, where it takes a lot of dedication and time in order to improve. The Bishops are taking advantage of the two hours of pool time they have each week day and jump into that pool ready to work. Coach Lally is feels very fortunate to be working with such a dedicated team and is always looking forward to see who is going to improve at the next meet. Best of luck to the swim team in the rest of the season!

Boys basketball split this week beating Canton, but facing a hard defeat against Arlington Catholic. The boys were able to hold Arlington Catholic to a tie at half time but there shots were just falling in the second half. After the tough loss the bishops did not let this crush there spirits and went out to beat Canton by a solid 5 points.

Girls basketball had a challenging week. Coming out after a large win over Austin Prep the team headed to Arlington Catholic to play a tough game. Even though the lady bishops were down by a few at half time the rallied together and played like a team, resulting in an 18 point win. They then hit the road early morning to travel to New Jersey for the weekend. Despite a tough game just the night before the ladies beat Upper Christian Academy they took on Potters House, one of the best teams in the country, and gave them a fight. Unfortunately they lost, but got the competition they were looking for, in this non league matchup.

Boys hockey had a bit of a rough week. The boys hosted the strong Spartans of Saint Mary's and unfortunately ended up with a loss, 3-1. Three days later the bishops hit the road and headed up to take on Bishop Fenwick. The results were better, they tied the Crusaders 1-1.

Girls hockey had another spectacular week by adding two more games in the win column. The Lady Bishops defeated Shrewsbury and Latin Academy. The girls hockey team is really having a strong year and all their hard work in practice is really paying off. Keep up the good work ladies.

Track and field had a tough week with the bitter temperatures. They still worked extreme hard, each athlete striving towards a new personal best. The AWHS track team fell short to the much larger Arlington Catholic team earlier this week. Sarah M, Jackie S, Julia M all finished first in their events and the 4x400 relay team of Sarah M, Mia R, Jackie S, and Hannah K also finished first. David F was the only one from the boys side to get a first place.

Cheer has done some great updates to their cheer leading routine during the basketball games. The crowd and team seem to enjoy the effort.

Week in Review 12/29-1/4

Girls Basketball played, what many have said, The Massachusetts game of the year. It was #1 vs. #2 as the Bishops took on the Wamps of Braintree. It was a back and forth game, with both teams having their shining moments. Unfortunately when the final buzzer rang the Lady Bishops were just a few points short and lost to Braintree.

Boys Basketball had a great week as they added three games to the win column. The boys played together and very hard. They fought from behind and played solid defense, rarely letting any opponent run threw their defense. With such a great week the boys have reached a record of .500.

Girls Hockey had their first loss of the season to Arlington Catholic Saturday night. The ladies had a big week also having to face Hanover/Cohasset, Weymouth and Walpole. Theybeat Weymouth and Hanover/Cohasset. The girls fought hard against their out of league opponent, Walpole, and ended the game in a tie.    

Boys Hockey had a light week, only having to take the ice once. They traveled up to Stoneham Arena to take on Austin Prep. The Bishops fought hard for three solid periods against the Cougars but with less than a minute left in the game AP put in the game winner. 

Track and Field had their first win of the season against Marian at the Reggie Lewis Center. Their were eight first place finishes in total between the girls and boys team! The great work didn't stop there. The Freshman/Sophomore meet was also a strong one for the Bishops. Julia McRoberts placed 8th in the Shot Put and Anand Panigrahy also placed 8th in the Long Jump. There were 11 athletes who accomplished personal bests at this meet!

The swim team lost a tough one to Matignon/Mount Saint Joseph. Their were still some big performances; Senior Captain, Victoria Butterfield's three first place finishes in the 200 Medley Relay (butterfly), 200 Individual Medley and 100 Butterfly. Sophomore Colleen O’Callaghan and freshman Joe-Yee Yip finished first and second place in the 100 breaststroke. Seventh grader Teddy Rossini stepped up against his older competitors and finished second in the 50 Free.
