Once again, our littlest guys entertained all with the Game of the Day. They followed that up with a last inning, come-from-behind 8-7 win in Sophomores Baseball on the Freddie Pierce, and awaited the fate of Cubs Lacrosse to determine whether they had in fact turned the momentum their way. Red was clearly out to make a statement, and when Coop R dazzled the crowd with a 50-yard TD scamper, Red was off and running, leading wire-to-wire in a 62-48 Seniors Football victory. Again, Red bounced right back to split the Soccer point with a convincing 4-1 Game 2 win. In Freshmen Soccer on the Snow Field, Nolan C impressed with great play all over the field in a dominant win in Game 1 for Gray. Red won a very tight one on the lower court, while Michael H led Gray to a hard fought victory on the upper court, splitting the Basketball point.
The Juniors played a pair of games on the Hoops courts. Rex scored the game winner before Sam M punched in a PK for insurance. In Stars Soccer over at Sky II, Charlie saved everything that came his way in Red’s 2-0 shutout in Game 1, then watched his fellow Redmen win by the same score in Game 2, securing the point for Red. Gray had finally edged ahead, but Red remained confident, upbeat and ready to respond.Īnd that they did indeed, but not before the Gray Tigers won both the Swim and Kayak segments down at Trickey to win the afternoon Waterfront. Then, news of the Gray Juniors triumph at the Waterfront finally broke the deadlock and all headed to lunch with Gray just a point ahead.Īfter the meal, the teams gathered to begin practice for the Color War Songs and Cheers competition to be held in the evening of Day 4 (more on that when we get there), before once again heading out to venues at both Sky I and II for this afternoon’s events.
Not to be outdone, Harry then led Red on a 70-yard drive, ending in a spectacular TD run with :11 seconds left to tie it… the 2-point conversion that followed gave Red a most incredible 72-70 win in one of the greatest offensive shows ever seen, as the field swarmed with enthusiastic spectators from both sides. When Will crossed the goal line just a few plays later, Gray had completed an improbable comeback to surge ahead, 70-64, with still under a minute to go. Then Carson, who caught balls all over the field in building their lead, was caught himself by Joel on 4 th down (a fantastic lunging flag grab) just before gaining a new set of game-clinching downs for Red, giving the ball back to Gray with 1:20 left. Down by 2 scores late in the 4 th quarter, Will scored to bring Gray a bit closer. In Football action on the Rec Hall field, Henry H was terrific for Red, but Will D’s all-around play on both sides of the ball led Gray to the 47-38 win, On the Bunkline field, opposing twin QBs Harry and Will provided the wildest “2-minute drill” finish seen in years as they dueled to the final whistle in the most exciting contest so far. The Sophomores couldn’t break the tie either. But the lead was short-lived as the Red Cubs won 2 of 3 Hoops contests to again draw even with most of the morning complete. We thought Gray would finally surge ahead with a dominating win in Stars Tennis. In Tigers Hockey, stout defense with great play by all 4 netminders in both games defined the play, especially Myer, and both Thomas’s (L and T) who were superb – so much so that neither team could find the net, and both ended in scoreless ties… and again splitting the Hockey point. Red was led by Will A, Jamie and Brody while Boden and Bode were Gray standouts. Over at the Hejduk, the teams split two Freshmen Lax games. With two on and two out, Malibu smoked a game-tying double to knot the score and split the Seniors Softball point. Both teams seemed fresh and confident as they took to the fields and courts, determined to grab the lead and take control of this War.Īnd Gray did just that when Zane R went deep on the 2 nd pitch of the game (his first ever!) to get his Seniors off to a quick lead in Softball, which they held until the game’s very last batter. A bit of early AM cloud cover cleared beautifully into a spectacular Maine day.
