FALL SPORTS SEASON NOW IN FULL SWING FOR ALL 3 TEAMS
Sept. 18, 2011
St. Benedict's water polo team had a week off before playing their second match of the season. And, although the Gray Bees were more competitive, coach Glenn Cassidy's club dropped a 14-8 decision on Friday to Malvern Prep in the HAB Pool.
The Gray Bees kept in close against Malvern, trailing by only one, 7-6, at the halftime break. Rameses Spelling scored 3 of his 4 goals during the opening half, while teammate Dennis Tassie hit for two scores.
And like their season-opening loss Germantown, the Gray Bees went an entire quarter without scoring, which ultimately spelled the demise of Cassidy's team for the second straight outing. This time SBP was shut out, 4-0, in the third quarter by Malvern and could never recover.
Spellman leads the team in scoring through the first two matches with 7 goals, just one more than David Philemon. Tassie and Isaiah Del Rios have scored twice each, while Antonio DeSousa has added one goal.
The Gray Bees hit the road for the first time when they travel to Martinsville to take on Pingry on Tuesday (Sept. 20) at 4 p.m.
The Gray Bees soccer team traveled to Philadelphia over the weekend and came away with the championship in the Penn Charter Invitational (read more...)
The cross country team has competed twice in the early going, but has done so without the services of the nation's top runner this year, Edward Cheserek, who will open his season in next weekend's Passaic County Coaches Invitational on the course at Garret Mountain.
Without their all-star, the Gray Bees opened the season in the Randolph Invitational last weekend. Adebayo Eisape ran very well in the varsity race, coming in 19th and winning a medal. Darien Edwards placed in 32nd in the JV race, while Joshua Martins came in 20th in the Freshman race.
Coach Marty Hannon's team came back this weekend and competed in the Catholic Conference Bernie Magee Class Race at Warinanco Park. Eisape placed 24th with a personal best time of 17:47.3. Edwards also came in with a PB when he crossed the line with a 19:56.6.
