IT'S A HIT - Abbey Bowes connects during Wednesday's girls varsity
softball game against Marshfield. After dropping two runs at the start
of the game, BHS rallied back to win 5-4.
The BHS girls varsity
softball team came back
Wednesday for a 5-4 win over
Old Colony League oppo-
nent Marshfield.
Bringing home the win-
ning run on a passed ball
was Kristen Logan in the
bottom of the seventh
inning. During the game,
Logan went 3 for 5.
"She hit well, she ran well
and she was aggressive on
the base path, taking extra
bases when we needed it"
said head coach Jen Police.
Also notable for the team
was Kourtney McNamara,
who had three hits and
two RBI's. McNamara also
played solid defense tending
third base. "She solidifies
the infield ," said Police.
Pitchingfor the girls was
Tashauna Ashmeade, with a
strong arm and a sharp eye.
"She has such a presence,"
said Police. "She has that in-
nate ability to get her team
to focus."
BHS struggled at the start
of the game, dropping two
runs to Marshfield early on.
"They're still second-guess-
ing themselves," Police said
of the girls' reluctance to
throw the ball.
Hitting was also a chal-
lenge for BHS most of the
game. "Their bats were flat
until the sixth," said Police,
noting that this year's team
is somewhat green after
losing 10 seniors. "They are
young and inexperienced;
apprehensive to swing the
bat."
While acknowledging that
her team is still learning,
Police did admit that she
feels positive about their
potential as the season
progresses. "This is one of
the better defensive teams
I've ever had, particularly in
the infield,"she said. "I do
think they're going to come
together fine."
The next match scheduled
for BHS, whose record is 3-2
(1-0 in the OCL), was set for
yesterday against Bridgewa-
ter-Raynham, a team Police
said could prove to be a
challenge. The next home
game will be on the 26th
against Taunton.

ON PAR - Allan Stewart,the "pro's pro," marks 35 years with the
Cummaquid Golf Club. While watching the Cape change and grow
through the years, golf was a constant.
What more can be chronicled
about Allan L. Stewart? What
more can be told about a golf
professional highly respected
and honored by peers through-
out New England and lauded
by club members throughout a
long and continuing career?
What more can be written
is: the 70-year-old native of
Canada this spring is starting
his 35th consecutive year as
head professional-manager of
the private and historic (or-
ganized in 1895 and listed as
"first in Barnstable County")
Cummaquid Golf Club, a short
distance from the shores of
Cape Cod Bay. The three-
plus decades are recorded
among the longest consecu-
tive years in Cape Cod golf
history, joining those of such
well-known professionals of
the past as Gene Andersen of
Oyster Harbors,Ted Turner
of Wianno Golf Club, "Dutch"
Wessner of Woods Hole Club
(all deceased) and Jay Haberl
of Dennis Pines and Dennis
Highlands.
Stewart's Cummaquidjour-
ney began in 1971.after a stop
in Concord,where he was
assistant professional of the
private Nashawtuc Club, one
of the sites of the PGAs Senior
tour, from 1961 through '65.
He ventured closer to Cape
Cod in 1965 when he accepted
the head pro-manager post at
White Cliffs Golf club in the
Cedarvillesection of Plymouth,
where he makes his home
today. Six years later found
the Stewart family crossing
the Cape Cod Canal, heading
for Cummaquid and its golf
club.
The arrival on the Cape
came 60 years after Stewart
picked up his first golf club
at the age of 10 at the Aber-
cromie Club in his hometown
of New Glasgow, Canada. An
outstanding hockey player,
Stewart agreed to put asidethe
skates after the Abercromie
professional convinced him
golf was to be his future.
Stewart "journeyed" back
through the years to respond
to a question about his long
career at Cummaquid. "Most
satisfying? I have to say. to
have gained the respect and
to be honored through all the
years by board members and
membership with awiderange
of personalities,and being
chosen New England Profes-
sional of the Year (2000); that
has been most satisfying." He
expressed pride in his partici-
pation inyouth golf promotion,
and in the formation of his
club's Senior organization.
Numerous honors have
flowed to Stewart from peers
and membership, including
a news-magazine (Cape Cod
Illustrated, defunct) designa-
tion of hisfamilyasCape Cod's
Golf Family of the Year.Today
all seven children of Jean and
Allan Stewart (five sons and
two daughters) have contrib-
uted from their early years to
the collection of awards and
plaquesthat linethe recreation
room walls.Allseven canpoint
to low handicaps.
Stewart holds membership
in the Cape Cod and South-
eastern Massachusetts chap-
ters of the PGA, as well as the
national organization.
Boys lax not lacking
BHS boys
lacrosse kicks
things up a
notch

The
BHS boys var-
sity lacrosse team
continues to plug
away this season and their
efforts are paying off. After
several defeats the Raiders
regrouped, triumphing in
their latest home games.
On April 7 the Raiders
came up against Hanover,
turning out a 10-8 win. "Al-
ways great to get the first
win of the season," said
coach Greg Clements.
Scoring for Barnstable
were Tim Flynn and Justin
Bearse with 3 each, and
Mike Devlin and Chad
Crocker with 2 each. Flynn
and Devlin also had two as-
sists, while Bearse had one
assist.He also collected 11
loose balls and won 10 of
14 face-offs. "Justin Bearse
came to play today," said
Clements.
Going into the fourth
quarter, it looked as though
Barnstable would suffer yet
another defeat. The boys,
however, returned to the
field ready for a comeback.
Seven seconds into the
last quarter BHS scored off
a fast break, getting every-
one motivated. On a pass
from Justin Bearse, Flynn
managed to send in a 15-
yard shot past the Hanover
goalie. BHS scored again
at 10:13 and 9:15 before
getting the tying goal at
the halfway mark of the
quarter.
Putting in the go-ahead
goal was Mike Devlin,
followed by an extra-man
goal by Flynn withjust 35
seconds left on the clock,
capping the first victory for
Barnstable.
The boys continued their
solid playing on Monday
when they faced Sandwich.
After a physical back and
forth game BHS reigned
victorious with a final score
of 9-6, improving their over-
all standing to 2-1.
After a slow first pe-
riod that resulted in a 1-1
score, Barnstable came out
fighting during the second
quarter, sending in 4 goals
in two minutes.
In spite of a rally by
Sandwich, the Raiders held
together with Justin Bearse
and Mike Devlin sending
in 3 goals each, while Chad
Crocker, George DeMello
and Cam Lacey each scored
once.
Ruling the BHS goal
was Brendan Bearse with
12 saves. "Brendan has
worked real hard this pre-
season," said Clements. "He
has been working on his
form as well as his much-
improved clearing game."
Bearse was helped
greatly by a strong BHS
defensive lineup including
Tyler Hall, Henry Hunt and
Corey Oberlander.
Acknowledging the
valiant efforts put forth by
his team, Clements noted
that winning face-offs and
leading in loose ball pick-
ups was crucial in the two
wins. "Face offs and loose
ball possessions were the
keys to the victories,"he
said. "Any time you can win
over 75 percent of the face
offs, you give yourself an
excellent chance of winning
games."
The next home game for
the Raiders will be Monday
at 10:30 against Falmouth.
