BBA SPORTS
WRAP UP
Boys Soccer
The BBA Boys Soccer team ended the season with a 9-6 record and a share with Rutland of the MVL title. The team was honored with five All-League Selections — Senior Captains Garren Aberth and Aiden Francomb, Senior Winger Daniel Hatheway, Senior Forward Oscar Loomis, and Coach Pete Mull — and two Second Team selections: Senior Captain Ian Anglum and Sophomore Duncan Chamberlain. Aiden Francomb was also named to the All-State Team. Team honors include the following: Most Improved Johnny Miceli; Most Valuable Offensive Player - Daniel Hatheway; Most Valuable Defensive Player - Aiden Francomb; 12th Man Award - Walker Brown; Most Valuable Player - Ian Anglum. The team struggled out of the gate and lost its first 3 games by a combined score of 16-3. Thanks to conditioning coach Geoff Chamberlain, the team reached peak condition halfway through the season — a good thing since the remaining seven games would be played in the last 18 days of the season — and in those last seven games the team’s record was 6-1 and outscored its opponents 19-3. The team earned a home field advantage in the playoffs where it faced Brattleboro for the third time, but failed to get a third victory.
Varsity Field Hockey
The Varsity Field Hockey team ended the regular season with a record of 8-5-1 and the overall season with a record of 10-6-1. In post season, the team won the quarterfinal game against U-32, 7-0. Traveling to South Burlington to play Woodstock for the Semi finals the team won 2-0. In the state championship game, the girls came back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game, scoring with 6:43 and 4:12 left in the game, dominating play in the first overtime, but they did not manage to score, ultimately losing in the second overtime. The team had three players named to the MVL All-Star First team - Amber Rachele, Brianna Mayne, and Charleigh Carthy and one player was named to the MVL All-Star Second team, Julia Fillion. We also had two Seniors make the Twin State team, Brianna Mayne and Charleigh Carthy.
Cross Country
BBA had another good season of Cross Country running this year. The team continues to grow under the leadership of its new coaches in their first (Emma Reynolds) and second years (Tom Klein and George Forbes). An enthusiastic group of ninth graders joined the team and demonstrated a strong commitment 18
to running and the team. Veterans welcomed the new members of the team and led them by example. Captains Parker Kulis and Olivia Day (juniors) along with Emma Tschaikowsky and Henry Ahlfeld (seniors) led the team throughout the season. The Girls team finished fourth in the MVL league meet and the Boys seventh. The Girls team finished sixth in Division II of the state race and Boys finished thirteenth.
Boys Football
The Burr and Burton Football team capped off a remarkable season with a convincing 63-14 win over rival Fair Haven to claim the Vermont DII State Championship. The Bulldogs finished the season with a 10-1 record and set a school record by scoring 535 point (48.6 points per game). On offense, the Bulldogs were led by Junior Quarterback Joey McCoy who completed 68% of his passes, threw for 1,827 yards with 24 touchdowns and only two interceptions. He also added 448 yards and 11 touchdowns rushing. Jake Baker was a dynamic weapon on the field as well. He set a school record with 32 touchdowns (by a non-QB) this season. Jake Nicholson and John Morgantini led a talented receiver corp. The duo combined for 1,300 yards and 16 touchdowns. The offensive line was fast and athletic. They allowed the offense to rush for 252 yards per game and only gave up nine sacks all year. The offensive line was led by Seniors Olivier Cazaudumec, Will Frank and Junior Ethan Simonds, Junior Shepard Siegel and Freshman David Keyes both started the majority of the games for the offensive line. Burr and Burton’s defense was equally as dominant. The Bulldogs only allowed 11.8 points per game, which was the best in Division II. In fact, the next best defense gave up twice the number of points per game. Joey McCoy and Jake Baker led the team in tackles with 63 tackles apiece. Owen King led the team in sacks with 10 and Jake Nicholson led the team with four interceptions on the season. In addition to winning the DII State Championship for the second time in four years, the Bulldogs also captured their 5th consecutive regular season DII League title. The Bulldogs have not lost a regular season DII game during that span. The Bulldog Family would like to thank our seven seniors, Jake Baker, Chevaughn Brownie, Olivier Cazaudumec, Patrick Forstmann, Will Frank, Owen King, and Jake Nicholson for their contributions to the program. Special congratulations go out to the five seniors who were chosen to represent the south in the 2019 Vermont Senior Bowl. Congrats to Jake Baker, Olivier Cazaudumec, Will Frank, Owen King, and Jake Nicholson.
