Scarpato strikes again BHS girls hockey dynamo leads team to victory By Kathleen Manwaring kmanwaring@barnstablepatriot.com Stephanie Scarpato struck again last Friday, leading the BHS girls ice hockey team into the semi-finals with a sur- prising 5-2 victory over Billerica. The talented forward, a junior at BHS, scored three goals dur- ing the second period, continuing to bolster her team and impress her coaches. Billerica led the game 2-1 after the first period thanks to a gpal at 42 seconds by Caitlyn Ellis. BHS Sophomore Abby VanWormer tied the game for Barnstable just over a minute later. When Billerica put in another puck at 11:44 of the period, Scarpato responded with goals at 3:05, 3:20 and 4:37. She later finished with an unassisted goal at just 14 seconds remaining on the clock. Defensively Barnstable was strong, especially with the pairing of Van- Wormer and Liz Cohen, along with Chelsea Fizell and Claire Toffey. Cohen had one assist in the game, as did Scarpato and Katie Kirwan. Mi- chelle Manning had two. "It was a great game," said Head Coach Kim Sullivan. "Lots of good physical up-and-down action. We ju st continued to plug away, wearing the other team down." Last night as the Patri- ot headed to the presses, sixth-seed Barnstable was headed to the Iorio Arena in Walpole to face off against number two seed Wellesley in what was expected to be a heated semi-final match. "We're excited but focused," said Sullivan. "The kids are aware of the opportunity that lies ahead of them." Barnstable comes into the semi-finals at 16-5- 1. Should they overtake Wellesley, undefeated at 17-0-3, the team will move on to the final match on Sunday at the Walter Brown Arena in Boston.

Continuing her successful year, Allison Szatek took first place in both floor and vault with impressive scores of 9.7 and 9.25 respectively. Szatek also set a school record as well as a personal best on the bal- ance beam with a second-place score of 9.625. In the all-around, Szatek alsoplaced first with an even 38.0 Lexi Zonfrelli and Melissa Bowe also performed nicely, turning out excellent scores of their own. Zonfrelli claimed second in the all-around with a 37.25, and second in floor with a 9.65. Bowe was a strong contender on the vault with a 9.15 and the uneven bars with a 9.6, tying her in second place with Ashley Castagna of Mas- conomet. Overall BHS came away with a third-place score of 142.7,5 which satisfied Head Coach Duncan Chase. "We didn't lose any ground," he said, noting that the team also placed third last year. According to Chase, the younger members of the BHS team were a bit surprised by the level of talent on some of the opposingteams. "The fresh- men were in awe of some of the tricks," he said. "It was a real eye-opener for them." States was a struggle for Chase, also, as it marked the fi- nalperformance by thesSeniors onthe team. "I alwayshate to go to States and see their last per- formances,"he said. "We've had these kids not only for the four years in high school but most of them since they were 7." For Chase, the season'shigh- light came at the South Sec- tionals, where the BHS team reigned victorious. "They were very strong," he said. "To me, that was the best performance out of the kids." Chasewasstruckby the cohe- siveness of his team, an aspect that was noticed by ethers as well. "That's the thing that re- ally hit me this year," he said. "When folks from Bridgewater- Raynham were telling me what a great team we had." Next year, Chase looks for- ward to welcoming a number of incoming gymnasts. He also looks to continued greatness from Szatek and Bowe. "I want them to lead the kids to the Championship next year," he said. BHS boys go out with a bang Valiant effort marks season- ender By Kathleen Manwaring kmanwaring@barnstablepatriot.com In the world of hockey, it is known as the rule of three. Superstition has it that no team should face another three times during any given season. Although these words may seem true in the wake of the BHS boys' 2-1 loss to Marsh- field on Sunday, Head Coach George DeMello doesn't lend them any credence. "I'd heard the saying going into the game," he said. "From myperspective, an opponent is an opponent. That game could have gone any way." In spite of the season-end- ing loss, DeMello expressed great pride in his team, es- pecially in the wake of their tremendous 6-1 win against Durfee last Friday. "We had a rough start this season,"the coach said. "They put in an incredible effort last night." During the first period, Marshfield Captain Ryan Warsofsky took a slapshot that was brilliantly caught by BHS senior goalie Luke Harris. "That would have been in the highlight reel in the NHL," said DeMello. Michael Garbacik gave Barnstable the lead just over two minutes into the game with a memorable goal. "He just let a wicked wrist shot go," DeMello said. While Barnstable 'sdefense was tireless, Marshfield tied the game at 13:39 when War- sofsky managed to score. DeMello describes the last few moments of the contest as intense. "The last minutes defined what the game is,"he said. "It was a major battle of high school hockey players against each other. It was a war, is what it was." Although Barnstable put forth a valiant effort , it was a shot of pure luck by Marsh- field'sPat Kelly that cinched their win. "I'm surprised he had any idea at all where the net was," said DeMello. After the game the BHS boys team gathered in the locker room to review their up-and-down season. "We talked about where we came from and how we did it,"said DeMello. For nine of the players, all seniors at BHS, it was their last game. "Every senior on the team said it was a great year," DeMello said. "Two- thirds of them said it was their best year of hockey ever." Asthe 8-8-6 season came to a close, DeMello already had his eye on the future. "We've got a lot of young talent in the program ," he said. "It will be exciting to see who steps up."

"Justbeing around her could make you happy." The 16-year-oldBarnstable High School student from Centerville died last Friday at Boston Medical Center from injuries sustained in a two-car accident on Route 124 in Brewster. Her cousin Clinton "Bret" Perry, 17, of MarstonsMills,another rider, was critically injured and remains at Boston Medical Center, where he has shown some signs of improvement. Brewster Police ChiefRich- ard Koch said the driver of their car, Daniel Stapleton, 17, of Marstons Mills was treated and released at Cape Cod Hospital. "Their car was headed south and for one reason or another seemed to lose con- trol and crossed over intothe path of a pickup truck," the chief said. The driver of the truck, Todd French of Brew- ster, 31, was not injured. Koch said yesterday that his department's investiga- tion of the accident, which occurred shortlybefore noon last Friday,was "close to be- ing complete." Serving as spokesman for Gifford's father, Eric, Pratt said she had been picked up by Stapleton last Friday morning. "Dan was really good friends with Bret and Melissa," he said. "He has spoken with the family." Pratt said Eric Gifford told him he hopes that, "if anything good can possibly come out of this, it's that perhaps such a tragedy can be averted,that kidscanlearn from this." A Fully-lived Life Tragedy was not a word much associated with Me- lissa Gifford , who seemed to brighten any room she entered. Her father nick- namedhisenergetic daughter "Scoobie," and it stuck. An accomplished eques- trienne, she won trophies in thesport. "Sherode myhorse andmysister'shorse,"Linnell said. "She was fearless." When Linnell, 23, invited her Gifford to get involved in modeling as she had, she impressed the professionals atModel TalentManagement in Newton. "They were just kind of waiting for her to get the schooling," Linnell said. "They were considering her for Seventeen magazine. She was on her way." Anotherreasonfor Gifford's happiness, Linnell said, was her boyfriend, Sy Zarthar. "Melissa loved her boy- friend Sy and was very close to his family as well," Pratt said. Gifford'sfamily,Pratt said, "wouldliketothank everyone for theirconcern and compas- sion they've shown, and ask that people continue to pray for Bret Perry. He still has a long haul ahead of him."

EARLY FILES CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:6 1996 EDITORIAL: With public trust in local government al an all-time low because o the handling of the $2 millior school deficit , opinions of the financial operations of the fire districts have received a boosl for continuing to operate ir the black. This spring each of the dis tricts will ask voters, througl a non-binding ballot , whethei ornot consolidation should be pursued. Six months ago, we fullj supported and strongly be lieved voters wanted to see i comprehensive study on the operations of the fire districts Things have changed. An examination of how the districts can better operate work together and share re sources is still a good idea, but the idea of a jointly commis sioned study makes less anc less sense.
