The Varsity girls basketball team picked up a hard-fought win, 34-37, in Lamoille. The Falcons overcame a 6-1 first quarter and a 20-9 second quarter deficit. The Falcons gave the Lancers their first loss of the season moving them into 1st place in the rankings. Addie Nelson scored 12 points, and Sabine Brueck scored 10 points.
North Country Wrestling traveled to the Commodore Invitational Tournament in Vergennes to face off against 24 other teams from Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York. The Falcons placed 10th with two tournament finalists.
Eoin Comes had a dominant performance in the 120lb weight class, defeating his opponents with pins or tech falls. The highlight of his day was in the finals where Comes dominated and pinned his opponent from Fair Haven, revenging a loss from last week's consolation finals.
In the 144lb weight class, Jeremy Glodgett pinned his way to the finals where he faced a much more experienced opponent from St. Johnsbury Academy. Glodgett won his place in the finals pinning the number one seeded wrestler from Middlebury in a tough back-and-forth match where Glodgett's determination shone through. Although Glodgett lost his final, he proved himself worthy of being a finalist, scoring a reversal and nearly turning his opponent.
Sophomore Jocelyn Allen wrestled two tough matches but came up just short of placing at 113. Freshman Payten Lathe pushed the pace in her two matches, including nearly pinning her first opponent before being reversed to her back. Lathe was looking good after her pin this Wednesday against her opponent from MMU. Both girls are showing improvement as they move closer to the All-Female Tournament coming up on February 8th.
Sophomore Jazmin Wells placed 3rd in her weight in a JV tournament that was also occurring in Vergennes.
Have a great day, be kind and engage in your work.
