Lacrosse recaps (Continued from Page C)
Ryan Cannell scored seven goals including the game winner in overtime to lead the Class A Scots to a 9-8 victory. Cannell scored one minute into the game and half way through the first quarter to make it 2-0. In the second quarter, Laker Zach Tidd found the back of the net dodging several players and shooting in close. Cannell followed up a couple minutes later with a hard shot from the top of the box to make it 3-1. LR’s Tyler Harnden scored to make it 3-2, and TJ Leach scored two minutes later to even up the score at 3-3. The score ended up being tied 3-3, 4-4 (LR goal by Chute with 52 seconds left in the half), 5-5, 6-6, 7-7 and 8-8. In the third quarter, Tyler Laplante got his first goal of the season, and the Lakers’ first lead in the game to make it 5-4. Tyler scored by out running his defender and bouncing a shot past the goalie. Cannell tied the game at 5-5, but LR regained the advantage as Chute scored to make it 6-5. Cannell got another goal to make it 6-6. In the fourth quarter, BE’s Derek Driscoll scored to make it 7-6. Laplante got his second goal, and TJ Leach his third assist to tie it up again. BE’s Nate Hopkins scored to make it 8-7 with 4:03 left in the game. With less than two minutes remaining, BE tried to run out the clock, but the Lakers were able to gain possession by knocking down a pass and winning the ground ball. As soon as LR gained possession, Coach Don White called for a timeout to set up clearing the ball. Leach cleared the ball to Chute, who drove across the top of the box, beat his defender and was able to get free for a shot. Chute shot hard and low to beat the goalie and tie the game up with 1:02 left. Lake Region won the possession of the face-off, but was unable to create a quality scoring chance. Bonny Eagle cleared the ball quickly to turn a fastbreak into a oneon-one with Laker goalie Joe Turnbull, who stuffed BE’s attackman. The Scots came up with the rebound, but Turnbull blocked the angle and the shot went off the post and wide as time expired. In overtime, Lake Region gained possession of the ball in their offensive end, but was unable to create a good shot. BE cleared the ball, set up their offense and was able to get Cannell free after several attempts. Cannell took a hard shot from about 10 yards out, beating Turnbull for the winning goal with 1:31 left. Turnbull had an excellent game making 25 saves. “Joe really kept us in the game,” Coach White said. “Several times, he stopped BE shooters from point blank range.” Blazers leave LR feeling blue. In another Class A crossover game, the Lakers seemingly felt the effects of the previous night’s overtime game against Bonny Eagle as the Westbrook Blue Blazers rolled to a 14-1 victory. Ryan Skillern had the lone goal for Lake Region. Westbrook’s Austin Watts (five goals) and Alex Benson (four goals) were very successful from the top of the box with their 90-plus mph shots. Up next: The Lakers travel to Wells this Friday for a 5 p.m. game, and host York on Monday, May 7 and Yarmouth on Thursday, May 10 at 4 p.m.
FA girls claim first win FRYEBURG — There have been minor moral victories over the past few years for the Fryeburg Academy girls’ lacrosse team, but last Thursday, the Raiders realized their first victory on the scoreboard. Brenna Gerchman scored five goals, four in the second half, as the Raiders (1-2) handled the Noble (0-1) at the Academy. Abby Smith and Kendra Fox added four goals apiece. The first half was close as the Fryeburg defense overcame an injury to low defender Alexis Delacruz. Beginning with draw controls by the midfield, the offense kept Noble on their heels. Combined with top dodging from Kendra Fox, Emily Heggie and Abby Smith,

Mount Kearsarge North Here is another hike in the Lake Region and the White Mountains that readers are encouraged to try. Hiking is a great way to get out during any season of the year and enjoy our special corner of Maine. By Allen Crabtree Guest Writer Mount Kearsarge North has an impressive cone shape that rises above Intervale, N.H. and is clearly recognizable from a distance. Those who undertake the strenuous 3.1mile climb up the 2,600 vertical feet to the summit will be rewarded with one of the finest viewpoints in the White Mountains. Atop the open ledges of the summit is a 10foot glassed-in wooden fire tower affording even better views. The fire tower was used until 1968 and is now open to the public. It was built in 1951 on the site of a summit inn that was twice built, in 1845 and 1870, and was twice destroyed by storms. The fire tower is now on the National Historic Lookout Registry. There are two mountains
named Kearsarge in New Hampshire. The one located near North Conway is sometimes called Pequawket after the Indian tribe, a subdivision of the Abenaki people, who lived near the headwaters of the Saco River in Carroll County. When the first settlers came from Merrimack County in 1765, some called the mountain Kearsarge (or Kiarsarge), probably after the other Mt. Kearsarge there. The Abenaki name Pequawket was accepted as the mountain’s official name off and on until 1957. Since then, the U.S. Board of Geographical Names has officially named the peak Kearsarge North. (The other Mt. Kearsarge is in central New Hampshire about 20 miles northwest of Concord.) The shortest and most popular trail to the summit is the Kearsarge North Trail that begins at Hurricane Mountain Road. This trail climbs steadily and is a good climb in either summer or winter.
