ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Becca and Matt

What if.....?

We asked our fellow Middle School students one simple question:

"There are a lot of sick athletes here at EA - but what if they played a different sport? Can you picture....
Tre playing Ice Hockey?
Tyler Will on the Wrestling mat?
Mickey playing Football?
Becca Archambault playing squash?
Michael Jolaoso playing track?
Or courtney Williamson running Track?

Each student was asked which one of the athletes would have the greatest impact in their new sport...the results are below...

After watching the video of Kronum attached to this article, we decided to form EA MS’s first Kronum team. Speed, agility, and ball handling skills are all required for this newly-created, insane game. We chose to field a team of 13 players, all of whom are great athletes in their grade.

This is a mixed gender team, consisting of 8 boys and 5 girls. Here is the starting lineup:

The Flame Throwers

Allen Barry and Michael Nickolas aren’t only the two best players on the Middle School A Baseball Team, they are the best pitchers. Before a May 3rd game this year vs. Penn Charter, we interviewed them. We asked them what pitches they throw and how they grip them. Although you can’t see them throw, this is a good video for aspiring pitchers to watch as you can see the grips that give their pitches spin, dive and curve. Enjoy!

"I put the team on my back"

We had the opportunity to interview and go through the 6 goal performance of 8th grade girls lacrosse stud Bella “Beef” DiMarco. Bella has been playing lacrosse since the 2nd Grade and enjoys the thrill of playing the sport. She hopes to play Division 1 for Duke University. Bella is currently the leading scorer for A team girls lacrosse and hopes to have plenty more goals. Check into this video for a recap of the remarkable performance by Bella and, turn your computers up because of the wind.
