by Jackson Hongtong ’21 The varsity baseball team took an unfortunate loss early-on in the playoffs last year to Howard. Another loss for the team was the nine graduated seniors who defined last year’s team. Coach Sean Davis and his Warriors now look to welcome the new players while having confidence in the team’s ability to win this season. “I … Read More
by Aaron Jaffe ’21 For the 2018 boys’ varsity lacrosse team, the season hasn’t gone as planned so far, and not in the way you may think. The team’s first game was supposed to on the road against Blake, but due to a spring snowstorm the team may not get into action until after spring break. After a second-round loss … Read More
by Josh Averbach ’18 In an email to Sherwood’s staff, Principal Bill Gregory announced that he had hired Jason Woodward as the school’s new athletic director for next year, replacing Bonnie Gilchrist (Gilchrist will return to teaching), who served as acting athletic director after the unexpected passing of Walter Hardy last September. “I am very excited to join the Sherwood … Read More
by Josh Averbach ’18 The first two rounds of the tournament are in the books. It’s already been a wild ride, full of shocking upsets, busted brackets, heart-attack-inducing finishes, and depressed UVA fans.

by Frank Platko ’18 March madness is upon us yet again, and it’s shaping up to be another tournament run full of upsets, sleepers, and breakout stars. In comparison to past years, however, the field appears to be more wide-open than ever. Virginia (1), the number one overall seed in the tournament, finished 31-2 this season. However, they have a … Read More
by Josh Averbach ’18 March Madness is upon us. Like the rest of America, I am more-than-ready for another few weeks of contemplating cutting my ears off Van-Gogh-style every time I hear Dick Vitale hoarsely scream the phrase “diaper dandy.” I know it’s said every year, but this year’s tournament may be especially unpredictable (because no one team stands out), … Read More
