     The dream has come true for Hornet alum Luke Schoonmaker, Class of 2018, when he was recently drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round of the NFL Draft. The overall #58 pick played tight end at the University of Michigan, where he was a major contributor to the #2 nationally ranked Wolverines’ stellar 13-1 season. A two time All Big-Ten selection, Schoonmaker was described by NFL.com as a tight end with “good body control and is fluid in and out of breaks. His ability to find soft zones allows him to get open and earn yards after the catch. Schoonmaker is a solid and willing blocker who can develop in that area given his size.” That combination helped Michigan capture the Big Ten title last fall before being edged by TCU in the national semifinal game.

The winter athletic season certainly was one to remember, and history was made when on the same day the Boys Varsity Swim team achieved the incredible New England Championship Threepeat, while Girls Basketball capped off an outstanding season by also capturing a New England title. Though there is no pressure to match that feat, the spring teams certainly hold high aspirations to be just as competitive. The season has just gotten underway, so here is a look at a few of the teams and perhaps what to expect. (A second post will cover the teams not featured here.)

A former U.S. Olympic gold medalist swimmer, Eric Shanteau, once said, “Being happy outside the pool means fast swimming in the pool.” Based on the season thus far, the Hamden Hall swim team is clear proof of that wisdom. The boys team recently finished 3rd in the Fairchester Athletic Association meet, and both they and the girls were thoroughly dominant in capturing another CISAC title last Wednesday at the Beckerman Center. They are also poised to make a run at yet another New England prep title. Yet in speaking with both head coach, Jen Lyman, as well as a number of senior captains, the success of this season is not to be measured by simply the wins and losses, but by how much fun the team has while swimming and in enjoying each other’s company and efforts.
