Undefeated Football to Play in Atkins Superbowl; Volleyball Receives Tournament Bid
Hamden Hall Football rolls on and will cap their undefeated season with an appearance in a New England Bowl title game. The 10-0 Hornets will square off against the Brooks School from North Andover, Mass. on Friday, November 18th. The game will take place at Brown University in Providence, R.I. at a time to be determined. This will be the third bowl appearance for the Big Green since Coach Joe Linta took over the helm in 2011. The Hornets fell to New Hampton School a year ago, but hopes that the third time will be the charm as they face off against the 7-1 Bishops who finished as co-champions of the ISL.
The Hornets captured the Fairchester league with a run of impressive victories against rivals Kingswood-Oxford, St. Luke's, Rye, and King School. (Hopkins is still playing a modfied schedule that does not include HH.) The Hornets boast a high octane offense with plenty of weapons. Last weekend, Nick Bailey connected for three touchdown passes in the first quarter alone as the Hornets bested Berkshire School 42-21. Corey Millhouse caught one of those TDs and ran for another off a 30 yard scamper. Justise Antrum was just as effective, snagging a 54 yard TD pass and scoring on a 68 yard run as well. The defense has been equally immense, shutting down opponents with authority. Against Berkshire, James Sansone made eight tackles and recovered a fumble, while Paddy Cooper recovered a fumble for a touchdown. The Hornets, in fact, posted the only losses for both King and Wilbraham, who are also playing in bowl games - a testament to the Hornets' dominance.
Volleyball will also be competing in a New England tournament. The Hornets are the #7 seed and will play #2 seed MacDuffie School. The Mustangs won the regular season meeting between the two schools; but Coach Nally Sahin is hoping that the resilient Hornets will find a way to come out on top. The Hornets lost most of their height to graduation; however, the squad is quick and nimble and plays fundamentally sound. Emily Valin, Courtney Joshua, Eylul Ackman, Kate Liseo, Kat Baehring, Cassie Smith, and Priscilla Kozdroy are the core of the highly spirited squad. The quarterfinal contest takes place Wednesday afternoon in Granby, Mass.
