Big Sky Conference All-Sports Trophies Winners Announced

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

The University of Montana men and the Sacramento State women have captured the 2011-12 Big Sky Conference All-Sports Trophies. Montana earned its second Men’s All-Sports Trophy in school history, the first since 1970-71. Sacramento State’s women captured the honor for the fourth time in five years.

Sacramento State’s Tatsiana Kapshai helped the Hornets to the women’s tennis title.
Sacramento State’s women edged Northern Colorado by ½ point. The Hornets won the outdoor track and field championship last weekend in Bozeman, Mont., catapulting them past the Bears. Sacramento State finished with 82 points, while Northern Colorado finished with 81.5 The Hornets averaged 10.25 points per sport, just ahead of Northern Colorado at 10.19. Sacramento State picked up 16 points by winning the outdoor track and field championship.

Sacramento State’s 2011-12 season was highlighted by league championships in outdoor track and field, and tennis. The Hornets finished second in golf, indoor track and field, and third in volleyball. Mikolaj Caruk helped Montana to the men’s regular-season tennis title.

Montana’s men finished with 70.5 points, averaging 11.75 points per sport. The Grizzlies won their first regular-season tennis title, won the regular-season basketball championship, and shared the football title.

Points for the All-Sports Trophies are based on team finishes in the regular-season standings for soccer, volleyball, football, basketball and tennis. Points are awarded by virtue of finish in the Big Sky Championship in cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, and golf.

Montana, winners of the 2010-11 Big Sky Presidents’ Cup, finished first in overall athletic points with an average of 9.32 points per sport. Athletics, however, is just one part of the Presidents’ Cup equation. Academic criteria – including grade point averages, graduation rates, and number of All-Conference performers with grade point averages at or above 3.0 – are used in determining the Presidents’ Cup winner.

The 2011-12 Presidents’ Cup winner will be announced in July after academic data from the second semesters and final quarters are compiled.

Combing Schools Hard for Students, Communities

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012

Each day, students gather in the Lovington High School science lab to catalog and repair trophies won by their classmates and some of their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents.

The school, built in 1907, is in its last weeks. The trophies won’t follow Lovington students 10 miles to Arthur and the newly renamed Arthur-Lovington High School this fall. They will be displayed in the bank, phone company, library, grain elevator and churches here.

A year ago, voters approved — by a 32-vote margin — the annexation of the Lovington School District by the Arthur School District, which has about 115 students in its junior and senior high school. LHS has 78 students, including 16 seniors.

The last day of classes is May 25. “It’s going to be tough after spending all my life here,” says Lovington sophomore Logan West, 16. “There’s a time in everyone’s life where they have to make a change. I’m fine with it.”

Rosicky Signs New Deal with Gunners

Monday, March 19th, 2012

Tomas Rosicky has signed a new deal with Arsenal and insisted he will fight hard to bring trophies to the Emirates.

The Czech Republic captain has been in fine form recently, scoring twice in three games, against Tottenham and AC Milan, and has been rewarded with what is believed to be a two-year deal.

He said: ‘It’s a great honor to sign a new deal with Arsenal, I love the club and am proud to wear the Arsenal shirt.

‘It’s felt like home since I arrived six years ago and I couldn’t be happier to commit my future to the team. The manager, my team-mates, the staff and the supporters – everyone plays their part in making this a great Club, and I feel privileged to be a part of it. I believe we have a really talented group of players and, together with the manager, the future looks bright.”

‘It’s always been my goal to win trophies here at Arsenal, and I will fight hard to achieve my dreams here.”

Rosicky signed for Arsenal in May 2006, from Borussia Dortmund, appearing in 156 games since then, and scoring 19 goals. His contract was set to expire in the summer but manager Arsene Wenger has seen enough to know Rosicky will have something to offer in the future.

Trophies Traded for Food Pantry Donations

Tuesday, March 13th, 2012

The St. Marks Catholic Youth Organization eighth grade basketball team deserved trophies this year for a season filled with great efforts.

But they didn’t want them.

Instead, the boys thought it would be best to donate the funds used for trophies and memorabilia to the Washington Township Food Pantry at the Long Valley Presbyterian Church.

The funds–$250 allocated by the church–are given to the coaches for the eighth graders, since it will be their final year playing in the league. This year, however, the players and their parents came together and decided to donate the funds to the food pantry in lieu of trophies.

St. Mark’s will host a banquet on Saturday, March 10 and the boys will be awarded certificates from the food pantry honoring the donation.

Team members include: Jason DiGiralomo, Joseph Fantasia, Nick Malone, Anthony Mandala, James Mazzullo, Liam McLoughlin, Anthony Michalopoulos, Jeffery Millet, Eric Moore, Julian Zinna.
