The Essex girls lacrosse team came into Monday's game riding a two-game losing streak and hoping to get back on track for its very viable Division I contending hopes. The Hornets got just what they were looking for, cruising past a young Rutland squad 12-0 on Monday at Alumni Field. Essex was the better team in the early going of the game and that made all the difference.

When we moved into the house one early December over 40 years ago, the first flakes of a powerful winter storm were working their way northward along the Atlantic coast. The big blue spruce was already here but it wasn’t very big at the time, and we didn’t notice it at first. Late autumn 1983 had already delivered several nor’easters with tons of snow and enough cold to have it stick around so the little tree remained mostly buried until the January thaw.

Today nearby New York State high schools Whitehall and Granville have combined forces to field a football team, but there was a time when the Granville-Whitehall rivalry was red hot. It was in 1980 when Granville was unbeaten and the Railroaders had but one loss that a gargantuan crowd attended the game between the schools. Mike Macura was then the athletic Granville athletic director and he estimated that crowd to be about 6,000.

It was a very rainy afternoon at Alumni Field for the Rutland girls lacrosse team's game against Middlebury on Friday, but there are plenty of sunny vibes shining through for RHS. The young Rutland team is starting to round into form and compete at a much higher level. RHS had arguably its best showing of the season, but fell 14-10 to Middlebury on Friday. Many times this season, it has been Rutland trying to claw back from a deficit and not often has it been RHS throwing the first blow.
