Mike Manley \u201918- Boys Varsity Basketball<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mike had a terrific game on Saturday, leading varsity boys\u2019 basketball to a gritty 64-59 season opening victory at Noble and Greenough.\u00a0Mike demonstrated great poise and competitiveness in making a number of big plays at critical junctures of the game.\u00a0\u00a0 He led a balanced scoring attack with 13 points while also doing a terrific job of defending Noble\u2019s high scoring point guard. Varsity boys basketball will continue to look to Mike as one of its team leaders this winter.<\/p>\n

Marielle McHale \u201918 – Girls Varsity Hockey<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Marielle is a returning four year senior, who chipped in two goals on Saturday vs. Millbrook.\u00a0 Her first goal was a great shot from the right dot that beat the goalie cleanly to make it 6-0.\u00a0 Her second goal came three minutes later, when she took a great angle to get the puck back from Millbrook.\u00a0 She went in alone on the goalie and made a great move to make it 7-0. Marielle\u2019s passion for the game and work ethic are tremendous. Last season she emerged as a leader of the Wildcats on and off the ice. The team will look to her as a team leader for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

William Gunn \u201920 – Varsity Wrestling<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Will had a great start to the season for the Wildcats in the team\u2019s opener on Saturday.\u00a0 He won both matches by coming from behind and securing a victory late in the match.\u00a0 He used a lot of endurance gained through hard work to defeat more experienced foes.\u00a0 His work ethic, positive attitude, and impeccable sportsmanship are always on display, but it was his determination and perseverance that shined most brightly on Saturday. The Wildcats will continue to look to Will for inspiration this season!<\/p>\n

Ruby McElhone Yates \u201921 – Girls JV Squash<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As co-captain, Ruby played with strength and determination last Saturday against Hopkins. In her individual match, she showed incredible grit with her plays and strokes, never backing down from a point. She played all five games to win her match overall. \u00a0Ruby consistently provides dependable leadership on and off the court and always supports her teammates to be the best players they can be!<\/p>\n
