Lady Pythons Sports Roundup
Pelhams Morgan Pinksten (#2 white) shown here in a home game vs.
Windham scored the only Pelham goal in the loss to the Jags as well as
in the 2-1 overtime loss to Somersworth
by Marc Ayotte
The PHS girls volleyball team has kept its play-off hopes alive
thanks to a recent strong showing on the road at Fall Mountain
Regional. With the top 12 teams qualifying for the Division II post
season, Coach Jen Nugents squad is in control of their own destiny
as they are currently positioned in the fnal available playoff spot
with a 4-8 record. Sandwiched in between two tough 0-3 losses
(Souhegan on Monday, October 7 and against Coe-Brown 4 days
later ), the Pythons recorded a dramatic victory when they traveled
to Alstead to take on the Wildcats. The Pythons skinned the Cats in
four games by scores of 25-17, 16-25, 25-14 and 27-25.
Pelham posted a strong defensive effort against the perennially
scrappy Wildcats. Middle blockers Holly Joyce and Amanda Olson
were strong at the net with four blocks apiece while defensive
specialist Kelsey Grimard was credited with 46 digs on the night.
On offense, setter Kaylie Apkarian distributed the ball well with 13
assists, while Joyce also made a contribution on the offensive side
of the net with 4 kills. Alyssa Paradis was stellar from the service
line, scoring 13 service points and two aces. The Pythons square-off
against Plymouth in the Snake Pit at 6 p.m. on Friday, October 18, as
part of the PHS Homecoming sports activities.
Cougars Claw-Out Win In Field Hockey
The schedule didnt get any easier for the girls feld hockey team
when they faced undefeated Derryfeld (13-0) at home on October
15. After suffering a tough 1-0 home loss to Mascenic Regional one
week earlier, the Lady Pythons were formidable opponents for the
top ranked Cougars but despite a stellar performance between the
posts from goalie Chelsea Stanton, fell by a score of 3-0, dropping
their record to 2-9-2 for the season.
Despite Derryfeld dominating the fow of the game, Pelham
played the perennial powerhouse private school from Manchester
to a scoreless deadlock for most of the frst half. It was Stanton,
who stood on her head for the frst 30 minutes that kept the potent
Cougar offense at bay. However, with 6:32 remaining before
intermission, it was Colbi Vaillancourt who took advantage of a
loose ball in the Python crease that staked her Cougars to a 1-0 lead.
Clinging to the slim one goal advantage with the clock approaching
10 minutes remaining in the game, Derryfeld, on the strength of two
goals in a 39 second span by Berklee Vaillancourt and Zoe Pisierra,
put the game out of reach.
Soccer Loses OT Heartbreaker
Meanwhile, over on the adjacent soccer feld, the Lady Python
soccer team was engaged in a defensive struggle of their own.
Eighty minutes of regulation was not enough to determine the
outcome against Somersworth and with just three minutes remaining
in the second-ten minute overtime session, the Hilltoppers scored,
handing a defating 2-1 defeat to the hard working Pythons.
Pelham took a 1-0 lead midway through the frst half on the
strength of Morgan Pinkstens second goal in as many games; the frst
coming in a lopsided 10-1 loss to Windham at home on October 11.
However, the lead did not last long as Somersworth tied things
up before heading into the intermission.
A scoreless second half did see a pair of excellent Pelham
scoring chances from Brooke Paradis and Lauren Anderson
go by the board. Paradis bid came on a direct kick which
sailed over the crossbar from about 25 yards out and with just
seconds remaining, Anderson, while positioned in the box, was
denied after redirecting a perfectly delivered corner kick off the
foot of Pinksten. Additionally, the Pythons received fne play
from keeper Shayanne Skinner; she was awesome in goal,
recounted Coach Bob Keane, her best game all year, she was
really solid.
Once again it was the lack of personnel on the bench that
caught up with the Pythons and played a crucial role in the
outcome of the game. Despite the disappointing loss, Keane
was pleased with the performance of many players who were
forced to play the entire game. It was a total team effort with a
short bench, observed Keane. After his list of standouts began
to lengthen, the Python coach paused and offered; kudos to all
of them. I really cant single any one out. I couldnt ask for anything
more.

Windham Golf Squad Captures
Division II Crown
by Jacob Gagnon
Great teams need strong leadership, focused athletes and a hard-working mindset that motivates every
person in the program to get better, even when they are the best in the division. The Windham High
School Boys Golf team was not just great in 2013, but perfect and they capped off an unbeaten season
with a Division II State Championship.
The Jaguars recorded a team score of 395 points to claim the Division II Title. It was not only a terrifc
team play that has propelled Windham this season, but also crucial individual efforts. These efforts were
showcased in the Division II State Championship meet, as six Windham High School golfers earned a
berth to compete on Saturday, October 12, in the Individual State Championships in Canterbury.
Leading the pack for the Jaguars is defending 2012 State Champion, Connor Greenleaf, who scored a
team-best 73 points in the team tournament. Greenleaf has the distinct advantage of having been to the
top of the championship mountain before after battling back to claim the title in an exciting fnish to last
seasons tournament.
The next highest fnished for Windham High was James McKee, who recorded a score of 78 on the day.
Adam Dolan earned a score of 80, while teammate Patrick Higgins scored an 81 on the course. Matt
Howard and Eric Butler rounded out the Jaguars top place fnishers by each scoring an 83 to qualify for
the individual championships.
Whether or not Greenleaf can repeat last years Individual State Championship performance, he and
the rest of the Windham Golf squad can feel proud that they were the greatest team on the green this
year.

Pythons Vaiknoras D-III Golf State Champion PHS
Runner-up in Team Competition
by Marc Ayotte
After leading the Pythons on the links to a stellar 20-4 team record
during the regular season, senior Jake Vaiknoras continued his stellar
play at the state tournament by posting back to back sizzling rounds
of 71-71-142 to capture the New Hampshire Division III individual
state golf championship. Over the two day event, the Python three
sport star torched the 6,044 yard Ridgewood Country Club layout with
consecutive 1 under par rounds to take the title by three strokes over
runner-up Josh Lacasse of Bow.
Vaiknoras red-number tour around the Moultonborough track
was highlighted by seven birdies against a mere fve bogies, and
also catapulted the Pythons to a second place fnish in the team
competition of the tournament. Along with teammates David
Boardman (85), Kyle Surprenant (90), and Doug Carton (91), the top
four Python scorers combined for a team total of 337; good for state
runner-up recognition as they fnished just ahead of Mascenic (338),
Gilford (339) and nearby Campbell (344).
With respect to Bows running away with the state title after an
unblemished 22-0 regular season mark, Vaiknoras, light heartedly and
with a sense of realism, referenced the teams that fnished second
through ffth by saying we were playing for our own championship,
adding of the strong Falcon foursome; nobody was beating Bow.
The top 7 teams in the standings during the regular season qualifed
for the post season competition and were allowed to bring all seven
players to the event. Teams that fnished out of the top seven were
allotted two spots for the individual component of the tournament.
After the frst round on Thursday, October 10, the top 12 scorers
advanced to day two (October 12) from which a two round/36 hole
cumulative total was used to determine the fnal rankings.
Vaiknoras with his consistent sub-par rounds beat off a pair of Bow
adversaries in the form of frst round leader Lacasse (70-75-145), and
Doug Champagne who fred a dazzling 2 under par 70 to fnish with
a total of 148 and in third place. Interestingly, Vaiknoras and Lacasse
not only played this years fnal round as part of the fnal foursome, but
were also paired together last year in the fnal round which saw the
prominent Python fnish second in the individual portion of the states.
In noting that the course was not lengthy (at just over 6,000 yards),
Vaiknoras admitted that he did not take the driver out of his bag very
often; I dont hit a lot of drivers. I poke my 3-iron out there pretty
good. However, the long hitting senior did acknowledge that he took
out the weapon on holes 15, 16, and 18, saying that it was pretty
open on the back (side).
For the tournament, Vaiknoras attributed his winning it all to his
consistency in getting in the fairway off the tee, being able to read
breaks on the greens correctly, knowing the direction of the grains as
well as being familiar with the course layout. Playing out of his home
course of Campbell Scottish Highlands in Salem, Vaiknoras played
precision golf; hitting 30 out of 36 greens in regulation; I put myself
in good position to score, recalled the senior Snake. With distance
and accuracy from the tee box being a key factor, Vaiknoras jokingly
awarded his 3 iron with Most Valuable Club status, saying; just
because it stuck with me both days. With an ability of mastering the
short game, he also gave an honorable mention of sorts to his sand
wedge for its role of honing in on fag sticks with approach shots from
the fairway.
On the day after his superb individual accomplishment that will earn
him a spot in the comforting confnes of the PHS Snake Pit, Vaiknoras
admitted, it feels awesome. I dont know if it has really hit me yet.
Python Jake Vaiknoras won the Division III Individual State Championship
after fring a 2 under par 142 at Ridgewood CC in Moultonborough. Jake is

Lady Jaguars Avenge Only Loss of Field Hockey Season

by Jacob Gagnon
On Wednesday, October 9, the Windham High School Field
Hockey team made a statement. It was not communicated in words,
but in actions. The Lady Jaguars avenged their only loss of the 2013
season by dominating Portsmouth High School, 5-0, at Windham.
Were doing what we want to do this season, said Head Coach
Amanda Ward. Were going out and making statements.
Portsmouth handed Windham High their frst and only loss of the
season on September 30. The 1-0 loss was an upset considering
Windham has the ingredients of an undefeated squad while
Portsmouth is a middle-of-the road team with a 7-5 record on
the season. The defeat did not demoralize Windham. It merely
refocused them. In Division II, thats how it goes. Anyone can win
on any given day. Today, we just wanted to make sure we were the
ones who won, said Ward. It was nice to come back with a win
today, and a convincing win at that.
Windham took the lead with two goals from forward Justine
Levesque within the frst twenty minutes of the frst half. Much like
the entire game, Windham pressured in the Portsmouth side of the
feld for most of the frst half. Any opportunities that Portsmouth
found on offense were soon halted by a suffocating Jaguar defense
that has not allowed more than three goals over the 12 game stretch
of the season so far, which includes nine shutout victories.
We have such an impressive team, said Ward. Certainly,
were very impressed with the defense from Natalie Boyd. Shes
just always on for us defensively. Freshman Rachel Estes has been
fantastic on defense too.
Windham added one more goal in the frst half by Courtney
Sweeny with fve minutes remaining. The Despite their 3-0 lead,
the Lady Jaguars did not relent in their attack in the last half of the
match. Sweeny found the net again midway through the second
half.
I want to speak highly of Courtney Sweeny and Justine Levesque.
They have put so many goals in the net for us this season, making
sure we walk away with the wins that support the hard work the
whole team is doing, said Ward.
With seconds left in the match, and the victory all but fnal,
Windham took one fnal challenging stab through the Portsmouth
defense. Rachel Rogers hit the corner of the goalpost to earn a
Windham corner. Maddy Joanis scored moments later just before
regulation time ran out.
The improvements from now since the start of the season are
evident to anyone who watches them play, but most of all to Coach
Ward. The way that were communicating and working together
(is our biggest improvement). Just knowing where our teammates
are (on the feld) and what is going to be the most effective decision
for us in that moment, said Ward. They are cohesive. They have
really pulled it all together.
Windham travelled to Milford High School on Friday, October 11.
They defeated Milford, 2-0, to improve to 11-1 on the season.
The Lady Jaguars, who
fell to Lebanon High School
in last seasons Division II
Championship fnale, know what
it takes to get back to the title
match. We need to stay humble,
making sure we keep our vision
clear and that we do the work,
said Ward. With the 5-0 victory
over Portsmouth, Windham has
sent a clear message to other
teams in the state: They are
relentless, focused and only
getting better.

Rachel Vafdes lines up a shot on goal.
John Ferri blocks a Pelham shot
by Mike Bourk
Homecoming weekend was sweet for the Jaguars as both girls and
boys soccer teams shut out Pelham.
In the frst half of the double header the Windham girls team
shut out Pelham 8-0. The lady Jags started slowly but that was not
unexpected. The Jaguars head coach, Matt Bryant explains why,
Our style is to try to keep as much possession as we can. We
move the ball from side to side and when successful spaces open up
and as we wear opponents down opportunities to scoring become
available.
Roughly midway through the frst half that style of play bore fruit
in the form of two goals by senior Co-Captain,
Sarah Chau. Later in the half sophomore Hannah
Pesci notched two goals giving Windham a 4-0
lead at the half. Assisting on the frst half goals
were Danielle Fischer, Selena Hansen, and
Clairee Putnam. Coach Bryant talked about how
key Putnam has been to the program, Not a lot
happens without Clairee, shes been our captain
for three years and starting in the middle of our
defense for four years. She has the ability to
calm down other players on our team. Having
her on the feld give our forwards confdence to
take chances and make plays because they know
Clairee is back there.
Windham kept their foot of the throttle
during the second half as Chau tacked on two
more goals. Additional goals were scored by
Haley Psareas and Co-Captain Rachel Vafdes.
Windham is undefeated in soccer this season and
has given up just two goals. Coach Bryant talked
about the changes since last season Last year we
had a very young team and bigger, more physical
teams gave us trouble. Weve sort of grown up
and can play a more physical game. We work
very hard on ftness training and that comes
into play with regards to speed and durability
especially towards the end of a highly competitive
game.
For Pelham, Taylor Burke had several nice
scoring opportunities and Brooke Paradis played
well defensively.
In the second game of the double header the
Windham boys team also pitched a shutout,
beating Pelham 11-0. Senior Andrew Lowman
started the Jaguars scoring the frst of his four
goals just two minutes into the game. Senior
Sam Kauhl also scored three goals in the frst half
the thirds of which was a nicely placed penalty
kick. Rounding out the scoring for Windham
were single goals by junior Matt Laliberte and
sophomore Will Carpenter. Senior Brandon
Dreyfuss also netted two goals.
Windham Coach Michael Hachey assessed
the Jaguars play, There are things weve been
working towards, ball movement being one of
them. They Pelham) have a very dangerous scorer
(Harley Kearney) and by maintaining possession
of the ball we were able to take him out of the game. There were a lot of things I saw
today that I liked but it is just over the midpoint in the season and we still have a lot to
work towards.
On the Pelham side head coach Matt Miller commented about the game as well, We
knew wed have our hands full, they are the best team in Division 2 (Pelham is in Division
3). Eric Rossi and Derek Sage had strong games for us.

Pythons Look Strong and Stay Unbeaten Through Five Games
by Mike Bourk
Last year Somersworth
ended Pelhams season
handing the Pythons a
resounding 35-7 defeat, but
this year is a new season,
a new attitude, and a new
result. Pelham played a
complete game delivering
on offense, defense, and
special teams to take down
the Hilltoppers 28-14. Even
though the score was tied
14-14 in the fourth quarter
there was a feeling in the
air at the Harris Family Field
that the Pythons would not
be denied this victory.
The Hilltoppers head
coach, Don Hodson, gave
his take on the frst half,
We knew how explosive
(Chris) Medeiros was, and I
think we did a pretty good
job of taking that weapon
away from Pelham. What
we did not expect was to see
the other guys step up the
way they did in the fourth
quarter. The other guys
were Brad Kamal and Nick
Johnson. Kamal surprised
some people with his
breakaway speed, especially
on his 57 yard touchdown
run in the fourth quarter.
Junior fullback Nick Johnson
was quite frankly a beast,
relentlessly pounding the
Somersworth d-line and linebackers for positive yardage. Making all
the running possible was an offensive line that consistently picked
up crashing Hilltopper linebackers and opening up the holes for
Pelhams running game. Clark adds Tyler Kosik was playing out of
his usual position this game did an incredible job picking that up.
The Pelham defense shut down a potent Somersworth offense
which was averaging over 32 points per game. The Python defense
was well balanced with Chris Medeiros, Bryce Brown, and Brad
Kamal each recording seven tackles. Zack Masiello recorded two
sacks and Nick DeCarolis had several key tackles including dropping
a Hilltopper runner for a loss on a 4th-and-1 play. Pelhams interior
lineman Dominic Branco, Tom Gleason, and Mahmoud Bagegni did
not record as many tackles as usual because Somersworth seldom
ran up the middle opting to run wide most of the game.
The following week against Winnesquam, Pelham wasted little
time in scoring. On the second play from scrimmage Zack Conway
took a Joe Slattery 45 yards for a touchdown. Chris Benjamin
and Chris Medeiros each ran for frst quarter touchdowns and the
Pythons were on their way to an easy 42-0 victory.
Pelham would be tested in their next game at Epping. The Python
defense, lead by Tyler Kosik, Joe Slattery, and Bryce Brown, would
preserve the 21-7 victory.
Pelham opened the scoring with a 20 yard touchdown run by
Nick Johnson on the Pythons frst drive. In the second quarter Chris
Benjamin scored on a short pass from Joe Slattery and a dazzling
run for a 78 yard touchdown.
The Blue Devils would cut the
defcit to seven in the waning
seconds of the frst half.
The Epping defense
stepped up in the second half
consistently stopping Pelham
on third down. Punter Nolan
Duffy had several good kicks
pinning the Blue Devils deep
in their own end. The Pelham
defense responded shutting
out Epping in the second half.
Several Pelham defenders stood
out in the game. After the
game Epping head coach Ross
Salovitch had this to say 59
(Tyler Kosik) is probably the
best defensive player weve seen this year. He was just everywhere
and our receivers couldnt shake 18 (Bryce Brown).
Also playing well on the Python defense were Chris Benjamin
in pass coverage, Tom Gleason on run defense, and Zack Masiello
(two sacks), and Joe Slattery who had a fumble recovery and an
interception that essentially ended the game.
The only touchdown scored in the second half was a 7 yard run
by Chris Medeiros. Kicker Harley Kearney hit all three extra points
and is now a perfect 21 for 21 in conversion kicks.
Following the game Coach Clark summed up his thoughts
about Epping, They are a very good team, theyre well coached,
and I wouldnt be surprised to see them down the road in the
playoffs. They have solid linebackers and a very good offensive and
defensive line.

Jaguar Cross Country Squad
Records Personal Best
Performances at Pelham Invite
by Jacob Gagnon
In cross country, runners battle
themselves more than they do their
opponents. They push themselves with
the goal of creating a new personal best
on whichever course they are running.
Hard work outpaces talent in the end.
On Saturday, October 12, the Windham
High School Boys Cross Country
squad showcased what hard work can
accomplish as fve different runners set
career personal records at the Pelham
Invitational.
The Jaguars earned fourth place out
of eleven teams with 123 team points
in the 5K (3.1 miles) race. Windham
fnished behind the third place Milford
High School by only three points.
With four runners fnishing under 19
minutes, Windham High School fnished
better than they ever had at the Pelham
Invitational.
Junior Brandon Bielinski, who has
led the Jaguars all season long, fnished
the fastest out of the entire Windham
squad. Bielinski set a career personal
best with a time of 16:58 and fnished
in 13th place overall. With the personal
best time, Bielinski also became the
frst Jaguar runner to break through
the 17-minute barrier for a 5K race,
according to Head Coach Chris White.
Sophomore Peter Caron fnished 22nd
overall with a personal record time
of 17:32. Also surpassing their past
performances were junior Nick Khoury,
who earned 24th overall (17:43) and
classmates Tim Stap (34th overall; 18:22)
and Jim Gustafson (42nd overall; 18:45).
Other top fnishers for Windham were
senior Alex Brissette, who earned 30th
overall place with a time of 18:03
and classmate Kyle Carbonneau who
fnished 51st overall with a time of
19:08.
Windham will continue to race
towards the postseason with the same
hard work and focus that brought them
career-best performances at the Pelham
Invitational.
