AWHS 2019 Fall Sports Blog #1




Welcome to the Fall 2019 Season

The hard work over the offseason, tryouts, and practices to prepare for opening games are paying off! We started our first week of games with wins in Volleyball, Golf, Girls Soccer and Football. A great way to get things going!

Golf had a phenomenal Catholic Central League win over Arlington Catholic on Thursday, 158-157.
Lead by Jake LaMonica with 36, Brendan Donovan with 31, and Alex Pelagio with 22.  Will Cunniff and Andrew Marcotte provided a big help with their 20 and 19 points. Overall a great win for the team!

Volleyball started a new era with a new head coach, Coach Ben Leong in a big way beating Matignon 3-0. The Bishops won their opener at home, 25-19, 25-14, 25-14, behind strong play from sisters Ashley and Caroline Marcotte. Also starring for Williams: Mae McDermott, Jessica Gustafson, and Jessica Knight. Freshman Volleyball won both matches on Saturday over Matignon and St. Marys.

Girls Soccer beat Cathedral/Cristo Rey 12-0. There were nine different scorers with Kellianne Caldwell, Catherine Weaver, Mel McClay and Gianna Giannandrea scoring their first varsity goals. Overall a great way to start the season!

Football beat Quincy on Friday night 28-0. The team played well with Senior Nick Tardanico ran for three touchdowns and 192 yards on 19 carries to lead the Bishops. A great team win and a great way to start the season!

Cheer did a great job at the game on Friday and continues to prepare for upcoming competitions.

Cross Country continues to prepare for their first meet.

A big week coming up with a full schedule of sports coming up. Please check www.gobishops.com for more info.

Some things to keep in mind:

AWHS Gym - Please use the gym entrance which is to the left of the main entrance. Parking is available across the street from the school in the visitor's lot. Also, there is no food or drinks (other than water) allowed in the gym. We appreciate your assistance in keeping our new gym clean.

Parking and drop off - Students parking is in the APL (Archies Parking Lot) in the back of the school. Visitor parking is across the street from the main entrance of the school. Please do not park in the fire lanes (even to drop off or pick up). Our team buses need access as they enter the school and we must keep the lane open for emergencies.

Lockerrooms - Student-Athletes must lock their lockers and do not have access to them until 7:55 AM before school. Please plan accordingly. No one can be in the locker room or surrounding areas unsupervised. Also, a reminder that there is no food or drink (except water) allowed in the locker room or The Dig.

The Dig (Workout facility) - Will be open after school at 2:30 for use. There will be a time slot for open workouts 2:30-3:30 and then teams assigned at 3:30 and 4:15. You must register and be cleared to use The Dig through Family ID. More information will be out this week on the use of The Dig.

Our interns; Grace Cuddy '20 and Meg Marcel '20 will be working on the AWHS Blog going forward and look for weekly updates!

Thanks again for all your efforts to start the season. If you have any questions please let us know:
