The results have been positive for the spring sports teams as they finish their first season in the Cape and Islands League with most of the squads leading their divisions. Athletic director Mark McCarthy said that next year several schools will join the league, making it more competitive.

“In most sports we’ll split into two divisions,” he said. “The Atlantic division and the Lighthouse division.”

But that can wait for next year. For now, post-season tournament play is on everyone’s mind.

Girls Tennis

The historically strong girls tennis squad is currently undefeated, but first-year head coach Chris Scott isn’t letting success distract the four-time consecutive state champions.

“All season long we’ve taken it one match at a time,” he said during a practice earlier this week.

Although post-season play is still on the horizon for the team, individual tournaments have begun. Senior Kelly Klaren, playing at first singles, competed in the South Sectional tournament last weekend, earning a trip to the finals. That match takes place Saturday at Old Rochester High School in Mattapoiset.

But even as she makes her individual run, Klaren remains focused on the team.

“We’re improving every day at practice,” she said. “We’re really working towards one goal, to have a really successful season. We’ve done that already and I’m so proud of the girls.”

The last home match is on Wednesday at 3 p.m. against St. John Paul II.

Boys Tennis

Undefeated with two matches remaining, boys tennis hopes to keep the wins coming. The boys team won state championships in 2012 and 2013 and looks to a return of form.

“We have a very good chance of going all the way,” said head coach Tony Omer. “We have a very strong team, it is somewhat of a young team as well. We only have one senior.”

Coach Omer believes the team has not only the talent, but the heart for continued success.

“They’re incredible students,” he added. “Multi-skilled people, musicians, engineers, math scholars.”

The last home match is Tuesday at 3 p.m. against Barnstable.

Baseball

The Vineyarders stand at 9-6 overall and 9-1 in league play with five games left in the regular season, and only one more win needed to make the playoffs. The impressive showing points to continued success as it is a young team.

“This junior class is our strong class,” said Mr. McCarthy. “They’ll mature as seniors next year, and we’ve got a lot of young kids in the program.”

The team plays at home on Friday at 3 p.m. against Monomoy and heads to Nantucket on Saturday.

Softball

The softball team is fighting to earn a postseason berth, but senior Summer Cardoza embraces the pressure.

“We’re excited to get some wins and just keep improving as a team,” she said.

Head coach Sam Burns is excited for crunch time as well. “The season is wrapping up, but we can definitely collect some wins.”

Coach Burns said the team’s core contingent of seventh and eighth graders has been getting key minutes, which points to continued growth for the program.

“The youth program just started this year, so we’ve got a lot of young talent coming up,” she said.

The softball team plays at home on Friday against Monomoy at 3 p.m.

Girls Lacrosse

First year head coach Kurstin Moore is a former regional high school lacrosse standout and has lead the team to one of its best seasons yet. The team is currently 15-1 and has clinched a playoff berth.

Mark McCarthy said he is especially proud of the team.

“We’ve had a great core group of senior girls that have moved through all the seasons together and contributed a lot,” he said. “Some of these girls have signed letters of intent to play in college — lacrosse, field hockey, ice hockey, track. We will miss this group here, academically and competitively.”

The next home game is Saturday against Nantucket at 12:45 p.m.

Boys Lacrosse

Led by head coach Chris Greene, a veteran coach with 20 years of experience, boys lacrosse is having a dominant year. Coach Greene gave credit to his senior leaders on the squad.

“We have 13 seniors and five senior captains, who each have given something different.”

The Vineyarders currently have record of 13-1.

“For us right now it is all about playoff seeding,” Coach Greene said. “In a perfect world, we walk away with four wins and we end up in the three/four group.”

A three/four seed would give the team a first round bye and home field advantage.

Next home game is Wednesday at 3 p.m. against St. John Paul II.

Track

Twenty Vineyard track and field athletes will compete in the State Division Championships on Sunday. The meet serves as a qualifier for the MIAA All State Championships taking place June 1 at Westfield State University.

“Our goal for this weekend is to qualify as many athletes as possible for next week,” said head coach Joe Schroeder.

Senior runner and hurdler Mackenzie Condon, senior thrower Nathaniel Packer, and sophomore multi-sport athlete Yayla Dechiarra are just a few of the team’s top prospects. Both the girls and boys teams will compete in the 4x800m relay.

Coach Schroeder expects a competitive weekend.

“The kids who have made it, all have a chance, and many of our athletes are ranking top three in their events,” he said. “It is really exciting to watch them compete at the highest level they’ve seen so far.”

Sailing

Back in March, the sailing team had their sights set on finishing in the top 16 for New England and clinching a postseason berth. The team met its goals and last weekend traveled to Maine for the President’s Cup and Terk Trophy Regatta. The field was extremely competitive, and the team finished in eighth place out of eight teams.

Earlier season highlights included a first place finish for the boys team at the Cape and Islands Team Racing Championship on May 11 at Lewis Bay in Hyannis. The girls team was dominant as well, finishing with a bronze at the Cape and Islands Girl’s Championships in Falmouth on May 17.
