The transition into spring sports is off and running. All eight teams have had a few games under their belts and are off to a great start for the Rams.

The Softball team returned home from a pre-season trip to Baltimore and Tennessee where they won 5 out of their 7 games. The team kicked off the regular season with a 14-0 win at Massabessic and downed the Portland Bulldogs 9-0 during their first home game. Lily Tukey, and Andi Cloutier each had a pair of hits while Sophia Diphilippo and Sawyer Yonderhaar each had a triple. Amber Bretton allowed one hit and struck out 10. The team will re-group after two tough losses recently. They have the potential to be very successful down the stretch.

The Baseball team is off to a strong start, despite their first loss to Falmouth (an offensive-heavy team). The Rams, however, answered back two days later with a 5-4 win over Kennebunk and the following week with a gritty win over the Golden Trojans. How it happened: Mason Finck scored from second on a Caden Smith fielder’s choice in the bottom of the sixth inning. Hunter Finck pitched 1 1⁄3 innings of relief to earn the win; striking out three. Starting pitcher Casey Skolfield pitched 5 1⁄3 innings allowing 3 hits and striking out seven. Repeat hitters for the Rams was M. Finck.

The Girls Lacrosse team is off to a 2-2 start with a recent intense match up v. Windham. The game went back and forth with high scoring action in all 4 quarters. The game was tied up 10-10 after 3 quarters. The Rams lost by one goal in this action-packed complete team effort. The boys team had a solid outing v. the Deering Rams. With the young team, their goal is to continuously improve and win games in the process.

The Tennis teams are on the road all season due to unplayable courts at GHS. Many area schools are hosting the Rams, Cheverus being one of the first schools to host both the boys and girls teams. Both the Rams teams are proving well on the road, beating Windham 4-1, 4-1 and improving their records: The Girls are 3-1 and the Boys are 5-0. Coach Landry shared, “We have been practicing on our courts. We are playing all our away matches together with the girls team so they go very long. We are making the most of the situation. The biggest impact has been on the sub varsity group.” Coach added, “we will likely be 7-0 by the end of the first week in May, we are doing quite well so far.”

Both the girls and boys squad for Track and Field had a great season- opening meet in very challenging weather conditions. The boys took first place by 0.5 points over Portland and Noble. The girls finished third in a close 3-way meet. According to Coach Caterina, Event winners include: Ashley Connolly (100, 200 meters), Sara Brawn (400), Lily Andreasen (Jav), Nolan Feyler (100, 200, 400), Aiden Lee (110 hurdles), Joshua Wright (300 hurdles), Griffin Gammon (Jav, High Jump), Nick Munyanesa (Triple jump), and Luke Burns (Discus). The team will host senior night on May 9, the team’s only home meet of the season. Class A states will take place at Thornton Academy June 1 and New Englands at UNH June 8.
