Success at Aprilfest!

Laurel Hamilton ’24 and Marissa Noonan ’25

Aprilfest was a success this year from the spirit to the wins to the food. Both Varsity and Junior Varsity pulled out a win against Morristown Beard on April 22nd. Both teams were supported by the spirit of the students and parents who came to cheer. The fans were able to eat food and get fake tattoos as they watched the teams. Junior Varsity handled themselves well under the pressure of the defense of MoBeard and had some of their best transitions of the year. Through their hard work, they won with a final score of 11-1. After both games, the teams ate Jersey Mike sandwiches together on the field and sent their opponents home with lunch. The team chatted about their game and their upcoming ones as they basked in their victory.

Overall, Aprilfest was filled with victory and fun for Villa. Although Aprilfest was downsized this year with the loss of our softball tournament, the spirit was as big as ever. Our Varsity and Junior Varsity lacrosse teams had an amazing day against MoBeard, with both teams coming out on top. The Varsity team ended up winning 14-12. The energy was electric. “Being on the field and seeing friends there to support made the game even more more fun,” said Marissa Noonan ’25. There was a large showing of loyal Villa fans, and a ton of encouragement coming from our bench. From the cheers, the tattoos, to the team bonding, everyone felt like they won!
