“instrumental in the success of the team with Lucas pitching, Colin in the outfield and base running, and Patrick at bat,” he said, adding that “another key player was eighth grade catcher Nick Beck, who caught the majority of the games this year, providing great talent and leadership behind the plate.”
Varsity Lacrosse Takes Third in Tourney Captains Patrick Lessard, Liam Tasker, Welles Hatch, Cole Pascucci, and Henry Peters and coaches—all of them alumni—Nat Carr ’97, Matt Ward ’00, Jeff Trotsky ’06, and Frank Crowley ’06 helped lead their team to a third place in the Fenn Lacrosse Tournament and a season record of 5-7. “We had a young team this year that worked incredibly hard and grew over the course of the season. As always, the highlight of the season was the tournament. The third place game was against a very strong Indian Mountain team and went to overtime, where we were able to pull out a victory,” said Coach Carr.
JV Baseball Effort Bodes Well for Future Teams Coaches Derek Cribb, Tony Santos, and Paul Heinze guided a strong group of seventh graders this spring. The team posted an 8-3-1 record, with the players “doing a good job of keeping their focus during games,” said Coach Cribb.
Varsity Baseball Fields Talented Players A win against Shore Country Day School in its final game of the year brought the varsity baseball team to a season record of 6-3. At the Fenn Baseball Tournament, Fenn’s defense played error-free baseball to take the consolation match and a third place finish.

Varsity Tennis Posts Stellar 10-1 Season Coach Rob Morrison’s varsity tennis team finished its regular season with a convincing 7-0 sweep of Roxbury Latin. The team earned second place in the eight-team Fessenden Tennis Tournament, aided by Co-Captain Tad Scheibe, who won six straight games to defeat the Fay #1 player 6-3. The tourney capped the most successful season in the last two decades, said Coach Morrison. Also captaining were Ethan Bondick, who played as the team’s #1 throughout the season and completed his fourth
year on the team, and Matt Kirkman. “Due to our excellent senior leadership, the boys bonded as a true team as opposed to a collection of players,” said Coach Morrison, who added that the running of practices was turned over to the captains. “They routinely sacrificed their free time to watch a teammate’s match and preferred riding the minivan back to school as a team to taking a more direct route with their parents.” Strong Play Characterizes Successful JV Tennis Season “A remarkably strong and deep singles lineup,” according to Coach Dave Sanborn, and effective doubles pairings led the junior varsity tennis team to an 8-1-3 season. Charles Brookby captained the team and headed the doubles corps, said Coach Sanborn, who was assisted by Kofi Obeng. Charles, “a seasoned, determined, calm tennis player and a consummate sportsman,” guided his teammates to “the classical Fenn season, one of unquestionable sportsmanship, steady improvement in targeted skills, determination in competition, and high spirits regardless of score,” he noted, adding that Peter Blau concluded his senior year of Fenn sports in exemplary manner as well, playing with “integrity and respect.”
