Freshman javelin thrower goes from playing baseball in high school to qualifying for nationals as a freshman
Making a name for himself in the Little East Conference track and field world this year is freshman javelin thrower Glenn Guilmette.
So far, our Red Sox have had a very interesting season. It has been filled with strange surprises and great disappointments and it has left fans with many questions about the future of the team. When the season ends, how will these things have turned out? I’ll do my best to predict.
Like many students at Keene State College, the end of the semester snuck up on me. I feel it was just two weeks ago we came back from the holiday break.
Some of the reasons Boston sports teams are loved by so many
This being the last paper of the year, I spent countless nights sleepless as I thought about a topic big enough to end the sports section on.
Lacrosse caps off perfect conference record with a trip to DIII NCAA Tournament
The old adage in college sports is upperclassmen are needed to win, but the Keene State College men’s lacrosse team is showing youth can prove just as effective.
KSC junior holds more than his own in national triathalon competition
A triathalon requires one to test his or her physical limits as a competitor. A triathlete has to run a marathon, swim for an extreme distance and bike a Tour de France distance, at least in the eyes of a spectator.
The opening, overly lengthy first round of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs is almost over. Teams with a shot of winning the Stanley Cup are finally starting to thin out and so are the teams that have a shot of winning my fandom.
For the first time in the history of Keene State College, the men’s rugby team qualified for the national tournament. After two games in two days, the team showed it belonged among the upper echelon of teams.
KSC basketball player raises money for military
Right now is a prime time to be a sports fan, especially a Boston fan. The NHL playoffs are in full swing and the Bruins are actually playing like a real team (as opposed to playing like a high school team, which they managed to do for the entire regular season) and the NBA playoffs are alive and kicking with the Celtics appearing to have forgotten they’re six thousand years-old and managing to “put out the Heat.”
The many unique responsibilities of assistant coaches
“Most wins as an assistant coach,” isn’t likely to be a statistic people pay significant attention to. Does this mean assistant coaches aren’t as important or newsworthy as head coaches?
During my recent semester abroad in England I spent good portions of time drinking and watching soccer. By good portions, I would say roughly 85 percent of my waking hours. I was sure my love for the sport the locals called “football” was going to translate back across the Atlantic and spread like wildfire amongst all my friends.
Baseball season is only just beginning but already the Red Sox aren’t meeting preseason expectations. Some are playing unexpectedly well, others unexpectedly badly. Here are some of the biggest surprises of the young Red Sox season so far.
Students of Keene State College are in the beginning stages of officially creating another club sport. On April 14, students stood around Appian Way and gathered signatures to start up a soccer club for KSC.
John Napolitano graduates from player to coach to help the coachless team
A familiar face has taken the reins over the Keene State College throwing program.
John Napolitano was hired as the throwing coach for the KSC track and field coach immediately preceding before the 2009-10 season.
The first installment of the Sox-Yanks rivalry is behind us and the Yanks took two out of three at Fenway, but if this opening series has taught us anything, it’s these two teams that are really similar in strengths and will probably be neck-and-neck all season.
When watching a sporting event at Keene State College, students and community may note a few star players for each team. Some don’t worry about how they got here, but more just the fact that they are.
Warm weather is finally in the air, but for many the winter sport of hockey is really just beginning. The NHL playoffs finally began April 14, which, for the record, is 25 days after my calendar informed me Spring began. Who am I to complain, though.
Roots run deep for baseball coach Howe
Keene State College athletics has had the luxury of being able to keep their coaches around for long careers. This point is proven by the six current coaches who have been coaching at KSC for 20 plus years. One of those six is baseball head coach Ken Howe who has coached at KSC for 24 years.
It’s funny the way things work. For the past few weeks, I’ve been waiting to write an ‘It’s a bad time to be a Celtics fan’ column. I thought for sure I had locked down the perfect moment when they lost to the New Jersey Nets (regardless of how the season ends, that should be viewed as the saddest moment ever), but they followed that up with wins in ten of their next 15 games.
Madness has taken over Indianapolis, Ind. And the madness’ name is March Madness. The Final Four of the NCAA Tournament was played Saturday as the fifth seeded Michigan State Spartans took on the fifth seeded Butler Bulldogs.
Compared to baseball, basketball and hockey, football season is pretty short. The best way to pretend to make it longer is obsessing over the NFL draft. Years ago, the draft consisted of each team’s general manager sitting in his office in the middle of the day calling in his picks to the commissioner. Today, people pay to get good seats at the draft.
