As the 2011 season winds to a close, look for make-up games to begin dominating team schedules.
Football
In their first conference game since Sept. 23, the Vineyarders took on Somerset in an away matchup last Saturday, staging a comeback in the second half before ultimately falling 21-20 to the Warriors.
The game was leaning in Somerset’s favor after the first half, with the Vineyard down 14-0. Two third-quarter touchdowns by senior quarterback Delmont Araujo — extra points provided by Mike Cutrer — evened the score, 14-14.
Somerset turned in another touchdown in the third, but the team again rallied for another Araujo touchdown with 3:30 remaining in the quarter. The Vineyard was unable to complete the two-point conversion, however, as senior Ryan Fisher was stopped by Somerset just short of the line.
The team takes on nonleague opponent Case in an away match tomorrow. The homecoming game will be Oct. 28 against Bishop Feehan.
Cross-Country
Just three days after setting personal bests during the Vineyard’s near-sweep of Somerset, juniors Michael Schroeder and Cooper Chapman again had personal bests at the Brown Invitational in Rhode Island, placing 13th and 20th in a field of 200 runners with times of 16:52 and 17:03, respectively.
Sophomore Jeremy Alley-Tarter ran a 17:44 to place 42nd, with junior Kyle Joba-Woodruff right behind with a 17:46. Junior Sam Oslyn rounded out the quintent of sub-18:00 finishers (17:54), while junior Job DeForest finished in 18:01. Sophomore James Roddy had a time of 18:23.
On the girls’ side, junior Hannah Moore placed 35th of 215 runners with a time of 20:56. Sophomore Lily Neville turned in a 21:16 for 47th, while freshman Willoe Maynard was 54th with 21:23.
