DON’T TELL          ANYONE BUT…

In her first campaign as head coach in what was supposed to be a rebuilding season, Reading girls hockey honcho Alexa Hingston saw her Lady Rockets sneak into the MIAA tourney and nearly topple one of the top Division I seeds. Now in her second season behind the bench, Alexa and assistant coaches Catherine Taglilatela and Kendall Junta (a former teammate of Alexa’s at St. Anselm) have helped guide Reading to a 3-0-0 start while outscoring their opponents by a 17-4 margin.

Leading the way on offense is senior wing Abbie Collins (3 goals, 3 assists), one of the league’s elite two-way players. While the hockey “poll pundits” haven’t given the Lady Rockets any lovin’ yet, it’s only a matter of time before they get their due props. In the meantime, hope springs eternal for what may be a very special year.

 

LET THE DEFENSE BEGIN

As the number of “wannabees” line up in an attempt to dethrone Division 4 state hoop champion Pope John XXIII, Coach Leo Boucher and the Tigers served notice that they are ready and waiting for all “comers.” Despite a sluggish first quarter on opening night, PJ rounded into form and vaporized a much-improved St. Joseph Prep to the tune of 85-41. Senior forward Conor Kelly helped the cause with 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 steals.

 

LADY DRAGONS ON FIRE

Another high school winter squad flying under the radar is the Latin Academy girls swim team who have steam-rolled to three straight one-sided wins to open the season. As the Lady Dragons head into the Christmas break, sophomore McKenna Kyle and freshwoman Adriana Cepeda are fast emerging as impact swimmers.
