SHOOTER - Stephanie Scarpato (13) fires a shot on goal during the
Raiders' 1-1 tie with Falmouth in Hyannis Wednesday.
The BHS girls hockey team
Saturday picked up its 10th
win of the season, and with it
a berth in the state tourna-
ment, beating Duxbury 7-1 at
ArmstrongArenainPlymouth
Saturday.
"We're really not thinking
about that just yet," coach
Kim Sullivan said after the
Raiders tied Falmouth 1-1
at Kennedy Rink in Hyannis
Wednesday."We're excited to
make the state tournament
but that's secondary right
now"
With five games left on
the schedule, she said, the
team was still focusing on
the Southeastern Mass. Girls
Hockey League. The Raiders
(10-4-1 overall, 9-3-1 in the
league,6-1-1inthe South Divi-
sion) can add to their division
point totalwhen Nauset visits
Kennedy tomorrow.
"It's important not to look
too far ahead, focus on the
task at hand," she said.
Despite outshooting
Falmouth 34-14, Sullivan said
the tie was not frustrating.
"I thought it was an ex-
cellent game," she said. "I
thought we dominated all
three zones. We stayed with
our game plan. We outhshot
them,we outplayed them, we
outhustled them. We're very
proud of how our teamplayed.
Ithink Falmouth isvery lucky
to get away with a tie."
"Wewere like asea of red all
over them,"she added, saying
shewould welcome arematch
in the tournament. Falmouth
beat Barnstable 1-0 in the
third game of the season.
Sophomore Sophie Fizell
gave the Raiders an early
lead Wednesday, with an as-
sist going to freshman Claire
Toffey.
The lead held up until mid-
way through the second pe-
riod, when Falmouth scored
on the power play to tie it.
The shotsongoalaccurately
reflected Barnstable'sterrito-
rialadvantage over the course
of the game.
"We were like a sea off red
all over then," Sullivan said,
adding, "What you saw today
was a display of team unity.
We're very fortunate. Most
teams have a weak link. We
don't and I think that showed
tonight."
BHS tracksters finish with
passel of personal bests
Boys third in
league, girls
fourth

It came down to num-
bers. Marshfield had them,
Barnstable didn't.And that's
why Marshfield , won the Old
Colony League boys and girls
winter track championships
at the ReggieLewisTrack and
Athletic Center in Roxbury
Monday.
"Everybody did well, a
bunch of kids placed, a ton
of (personal records)," BHS
coach Justin Messier said.
"Marshfield took the meet
with numbers."
The Barnstable boys, with
fewer than 20 athletes,ended
up third with 42.5 points
- Marshfield scored 63 and
Bridgewater-Raynham 54.5
- while the Raider girls, few-
er than 10 deep, finished
fourth with 15points, behind
Marshfield's 80, B-R's 70 and
Taunton's 29.
The meet, coming on the
heelsof the Mass. State Track
Coaches Association Invita-
tional and Elite Invitational
meets Saturday and Sunday,
also at the Lewis Center, fea-
tured a couple of interesting
subplots.
After missing a spot in
Sunday's Elite meet by five
places,senior shot putter Me-
lissa Doherty won the event
at Saturday 's Invitational
with a 34-foot-7.5-inch toss
that would have placed fifth
in afield of 24 Sunday, setting
up a showdown Monday with
35-foot-2-inch throw.
Doherty won the face-to-
face with a 35-foot-8.5-inch
throw,bettering her personal
record by almost a foot.
"She was happy," Messier
said. "I'm proud of her."
Twin sister Meaghen
Doherty, meanwhile , was
ninth Saturday with a 31-
foot-8.5-inch throw and third
Monday with apersonal-best
32-foot-10.5-inch toss.
"If they keep up the current
trend, they can both get to
(New England) regionals ,"
Messier said
Senior distance runner
Greg Karukas, who is try-
ing to get his time in the
mile down to 4:35 by early
spring to claim a spot on
next year 's University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill
team, ran a 4:52.29 to finish
54th Saturday, then turned
in a personal-best 4:47.46
Monday, finishing third and
qualifying for the South
Sectional meet Feb. 18.That
willgive him another chance
to push his limits against a
strong field.
Seniors Michael Rubino
and Martin Zampa and ju-
niors BrianTurnbullandNick
Cantella set a new school
record in the 4x200-meter
relay Saturday,finishingthird
in 1:36.86.

sentatives at Sunday's Elite

went in with the state's 18th
best time in the mile this sea-
son, moved up a place to 17th
with a season-best 4:37.32.

Web site ranks Sanz fifth , sec-
ond in Division 1behind New
Bedford' s Dennis Paiva, who
has beaten Sanz three times
this season, the last time by a
razor-thin 2-0 margin.
"I think (Sanz) is capable of
beating (Paiva)," Magner said.
"He's come close every time."
Other Raiders Magner said
could advance are seniors
Mike Amick (171 pounds) and
Pete Loumiotis (189 pounds);
sophomores Nick Barreto (125
pounds), ThiagoHoffmann (130
pounds) and Richie Joyal (119
pounds); and freshman Alejan-
dro Sanz (135 pounds).
Magner said Amick, in just
his second season of wrestling,
brings a potent combination
of athleticism and balance to
the mat.
"He gets better every day,"
said the coach. "He's capable
of pinning the state champion.
He's a talent. If he's at his best,
anything is possible."
Loumiotis has been prepar-
ing hard for the post-season ,
aiming to advance beyond the
sectional.
"I wish I had more time to
prepare," he said two weeks
ago."It'd be myfirst time (mak-
ing the state tournament ) and
I'd like to at least go out with
that."
Barreto came to Barnstable
this year after wrestling in
Florida
"He's turned out to be a re-
ally tough kid for me this year,"
Magner said.
Alejandro Sanz is in a tough
weight class tomorrow,Magner
said.
"He might have a chance,"
said the coach. "He certainly
deserves it."
The Raiders last Saturday
saw their five-meet win streak
come to anend withthree losses
in Somerset , falling to 12-9
on the season. Gonzalo Sanz
missed the meet with a neck
strain, and Joyal didn't make
his 119-pound weight limit,
forcing lineup changes. The
meets were close enough that
having the elder Sanz in action
and Joyalwrestlingat 119might
have made the difference in all
three, Magner said.
"It just wasn't good timing,"
he said.
Wellesley beat the Raiders
38-27, KingPhillipof Wrentham
won 45-30, and Somerset won
40-27.
Alejandro Sanz won all three
of his matches, while Amick,
Barreto , Hoffmann , Glenn
and junior Ryan Callanan (152
pounds) each had two wins.
Joyal (at 125 pounds), senior
Rob Greer (215 pounds) junior
Jason Corman (145 pounds),
andfreshman KyleCocozza (160
pounds) each had one win.
