Proctor blows out Caledonia United

2 days ago | rutlandherald.com | Adam Aucoin

PROCTOR — Elite teams can prove themselves through their ability to respond to adversity. The No. 2 seed Proctor softball team had some unexpected adversity early in its Division IV quarterfinal against No. 7 Caledonia United on Wednesday, but the Phantoms refused to let it impact them, winning 31-4 in five innings. The win locked up Proctor's fourth Division IV state semifinals appearance in the last five seasons.

No. 9 seed Harwood punched its ticket to the Division II quarterfinals, beating No. 8 Otter Valley 3-1 on a beautiful sunny day in Brandon.

Blue Mountain looks to solidify dynasty

5 days ago | rutlandherald.com | Adam Aucoin

The Blue Mountain baseball team has been in this position before. The Bucks had won two straight Division IV state championships and were looking to become a dynasty by winning their third straight title. It was a feat that the 2000, 2011 and 2016 Blue Mountain teams tried to accomplish, but each of those teams came up short. The 2025 Bucks are looking to get the job done.

The Rutland boys lacrosse team's senior class is one that has left its mark. The 11-man group of seniors has helped build RHS into a contender at the state level during their four years of high school, allowing them to go into every game with confidence that they can compete. It was fitting that that group got a win on a day dedicated to them. Rutland cruised to a 17-7 Senior Day win on Friday against BFA-St. Albans.

BRANDON — Games this time of year take on heightened importance. If you're a team in the middle ground of your division, one game can mean the difference between playing at home or the road in the first round of the playoffs. Thursday's game was very important in that regard for the Otter Valley baseball team, coming into play as the No. 8 seed in Division II with the ability to move up or down.

POULTNEY — There were many great moments for the Leland & Gray baseball team in its 20-0 five-inning win against Poultney, but it would be tough for one to top the last one. Senior Dakota Dunham was given a chance to shine, pitching for the first time to close out the win in the fifth.
RHS comeback falls short vs. Essex

1 week ago | rutlandherald.com | Adam Aucoin

The Rutland baseball team has made a habit of not going down lightly late in games. Last week against rival Burr and Burton, they nearly erased the Bulldogs lead and they scored three runs in the seventh on Saturday against CVU. Rutland had a similar magic going on Tuesday against Essex, but RHS's comeback didn't have the juice it needed, falling to the Hornets 9-6 at Giorgetti Field. "We were aggressive there in the last couple innings, which was nice to see," said Rutland coach John Cacace.
Heavy hitters target top seeds

Pairings day is less than a week away, meaning races for the top seeds in Vermont high school baseball divisions are heating up to the highest degree. It looks like a four-team race for the No. 1 seed in Division I with St. Johnsbury, South Burlington, Mount Anthony and North Country all within less than 0.5 index points of each other going into the week. The Hilltoppers entered the week in the driver's seat for that spot with a nearly 0.3-point edge over MAU and South Burlington.
Proctor turns tables on Westside

2 weeks ago | rutlandherald.com | Adam Aucoin

WEST RUTLAND — There was oodles of drama down the stretch the first time that the West Rutland and Proctor softball teams met this spring. It was extra-base power that pushed the Golden Horde past the Phantoms in a nine-inning thriller back on May 13. In the return affair on Saturday, Proctor wasn't going to let the drama heighten. The Phantoms turned the tables on their biggest rivals, beating West Rutland 8-2 on a gloomy weather day in Westside.
