Yesterday afternoon, the Wildcat boy’s varsity tennis team coached by John Pfeiffer achieved an incredible result in the Shoreline Championships, winning both singles finals (Division 1-2 and 3-4-5) as well as the doubles. The victors respectively were Brendan White, who remains unbeaten for the whole season, Ethan Fenton, and the doubles pair of Austin Pilgrim and Jason Feng who defeated yet another Old Lyme duo of Alex Clippinger and Adam Czarnecki in the final.
Meanwhile, in a thrilling double-header at Connecticut College also held yesterday, the Wildcats boy’s varsity lacrosse lacrosse team won the inaugural Shoreline Conference tournament defeating Morgan High School of Clinton 17-14, while sadly the girls fell to local rival Old Saybrook 13-12 on the last play of the game. Both teams will now start play in their respective state tournaments.
And down in Clinton, the Wildcat boy’s varsity baseball team, seeded fourth, advanced to the Shoreline Championship final in Dodd Stadium when, against the paper odds, they took out number one seeds Morgan 7-3. Cameron Dean-Frazier, Hunter Sheffield, Ross Golebiewski and Matt Przybysz each had two hits in the game, with Dean-Frazier making the game-winning play. The ‘Cats will meet Coginchaug, seeded seventh, in Saturday’s final at 7 p.m.
Congratulations to all and good luck in states!
GO WILDCATS!
