McNiff places fifth at Eastern Mass. Championships

Gloucester senior co-captain Avery McNiff had a fine showing at last Friday's Eastern Mass. Division 2 Track and Field Championships.

McNiff, who missed half of last fall's cross country season and all of the indoor track season with injuries, highlighted the day for Gloucester's competitors with a fifth place performance in the two mile.

Fishermen softball team eliminated by Tanners

PEABODY | The Gloucester softball team was hoping history would repeat itself in Saturday's Division 1 North first-round matchup against Peabody.

No. 19 Gloucester had previously beaten the third-seeded Tanners in the regular season and were hoping to send them home early in the postseason. But unfortunately for the Fishermen, the Tanners had other plans.

Fishermen fall to home run-happy Spy Ponders

It's days like yesterday that make Gloucester High School baseball coach Joe Orlando wish his team's home field didn't have dimensions suited for the Little League World Series.

Hosting 19th-seeded Arlington in the preliminary round of the Division 1 North state tournament, the No. 14 Fishermen were victimized by the short right field fence at Nate Ross Field, which sits just 295 feet away from home plate down the line. The visiting Spy Ponders erupted for five home runs (all falling behind the right field wall), en route to a 19-11 football score-like victory over the Fishermen.

Gloucester gets past Somerville, set for rematch with Peabody

The Gloucester softball team may wish that every game was a must-win.

After knocking off Masconomet in the season finale to clinch a state-tournament berth, the No. 19 Fishermen were looking to make it 2-2 in win-or-go-home games when they faced off against No. 14 Somerville yesterday in the preliminary round of the Division 1 North Tournament.

Fishermen offense completely stiffled in loss to Red Raiders

A solid defensive scheme and talented goalie are always vital in lacrosse, never more so than in the state tournament.

That message was reinforced yesterday in the Gloucester boys' Division 1 East preliminary round game at Lowell.

Gloucester track still winning yet without a home

Jim Munn led his Gloucester boys track team to Newell Stadium for a routine middle of the season practice.

Although the practice may have seemed normal, there was actually nothing routine about it as the team could not practice on its own track. The pothole laced track that circles around the Newell Stadium football field has been condemned and cannot be used for either practices or meets for the boys and girls track squads.

Fishermen clinch tourney spot in last game

The Gloucester softball team can finally breathe a sigh of relief.  

After seeing their record go from 8-3 to 9-10 after losing six straight games, the Fishermen put their state tournament hopes in serious jeopardy. They needed to beat Masconomet yesterday or their season would come to an end.

Fishermen clinch tourney spot with 11-9 win over Falcons

Can you think of a more satisfying way to clinch a tournament spot than by beating your fiercest rival on their home turf?

The Gloucester Fishermen (9-9) boys lacrosse team can now answer that question after beating Danvers, 11-9, last night in both teams' regular season finale. With the win, Gloucester awaits word on their next opponent which they'll find out tomorrow.

Gloucester upsets Danvers for second time this season

For the second time this season, the Danvers High baseball team was forced to watch their arch rivals celebrate on the baseball diamond.

Host Gloucester completed a season sweep of the Falcons last night by taking a 5-3 decision. Danvers head coach Roger Day could only tip his cap to his opponent afterwards.

Dean's ninth inning hit lifts Danvers softball past Gloucester

DANVERS | One team was dying for payback. The other team was looking to nail down a state tournament berth.

It made for magnificent drama and Danvers eventually received its payback Wednesday afternoon.

Fishermen beat Panthers for first time in school history

With its postseason hopes riding on the outcome, the Fishermen picked an opportune time to make history. Gloucester (8-9) knocked off perennial NEC champion Beverly, 6-5, in overtime yesterday when senior attackman Jeremy Fanning (4 goals, 1 assist) scored two minutes into the OT. Avenging a 13-6 loss earlier in the season, the Fishermen beat the Panthers for the first time in school history.  

Gritty Marblehead prevails in nine innings

MARBLEHEAD | It was a great softball game.

That's all that Marblehead coach Johnny Gold could say after his team's 12-11 extra innings thriller over Gloucester yesterday and he could not have been more right.

Gloucester hockey star Biondo set to transfer

The chances of the Gloucester High School boys hockey team repeating as Northeastern Conference champs next winter just got a little bit slimmer.

High-scoring junior forward Brett Biondo has decided to transfer to Division 1 power Malden Catholic for his senior year. Biondo's move had been rumored for a while, and the Fishermen's leading goal-scorer confirmed the decision yesterday.

Pitching trio not fazed by rule changes

The 2008 softball season was built for offense.

With the pitcher's mound moved from 40 to 43 feet, hitters can now tee off on opposing pitchers.

Despite the changes in the game being to their disadvantage, the pitching on Cape Ann has still been stellar. Gloucester, Rockport and Manchester Essex each have an ace pitcher they send to the mound every game in Jill Lukegord, Tia Nelson and Lindsey Cambridge, respectively. Collectively they have put up impressive pitching numbers in a sport all of a sudden dominated by offense.

Fishermen fade in fourth, fall to Generals

For three quarters, the Gloucester boys lacrosse team turned in a very competitive effort against Hamilton-Wenham.

But in the end, the Fishermen were done in by the fact that they were missing a number of starters for different reasons.

Baserunning mistakes prove costly for Fishermen

The Gloucester softball team got just about everything they needed to win yesterday's matchup with Winthrop.

The Fishermen received a solid start from pitcher Jill Lukegord, good defense and a number of tough at-bats against one of the Northeastern Conference's top pitchers in Kristen Finn. Gloucester even entered the seventh inning with a one-run lead.

Fishermen pick up vital road win

At the start of a tough week with four games in it, Fishermen senior pitcher Kyle Habecker gave his teammates and coaches exactly what they needed: quality innings.

"It was a very solid performance," said Gloucester (7-6) head coach Joe Orlando about Habecker. "He kept them off-balance and most importantly, he ate up the innings."

Fishermen rebound to top Marblehead 7-6

The Fishermen rebounded from a loss to Marblehead last week, with a much-needed win this time around.

Jeremy Fanning scored a hat trick for Gloucester (5-7), while Joe Falzarano and Jared Toye also added goals.

Gloucester girls track earns first win

The Gloucester High School girls track team was not about to let this one slip away.

Particularly the 4x400 relay team of Rebecca MacDougal, Isabel Pett, Abbie Rogers and Brittany Diamond.

Gloucester football and hockey players flock to lacrosse

Boys lacrosse is starting to gain popularity on Cape Ann, with the organization of the relatively young youth and the Gloucester High programs, and given that some of the sport's most fundamental elements are easily recognizable to local hockey and football fans.

Gloucester nears tourney berth with win

Gloucester (9-4) inched within one win of clinching a state tournament berth behind a strong effort from Jill Lukegord. Gloucester overpowered Lynn English 8-0.

The senior fired a shutout on the mound, striking out six and walking just one. She also added three hits at the plate, including two doubles.

Gloucester girls lacrosse knocks off Danvers in overtime thriller

The Gloucester girls lacrosse team picked up its first win of the season in the most dramatic fashion possible: Six minutes into overtime, junior center midfielder Jennavie Orrell scored her seventh goal of the game to clinch an 18-17 win over Danvers and send her teammates into delirium.

Gloucester bats go cold, end four-game win streak

Murphy's Law was in full effect for the Gloucester softball team in yesterday's matchup with Lynn Classical.

Everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong for the Fishermen.

Gloucester committed eight errors in the field, misplaying a number of routine fly balls and pop-ups.  The Fishermen also had their hot bats cooled off by Rams pitcher Jenny Garrity in a 15-3 loss at Burnham's field. The loss broke Gloucester's four-game winning streak, a streak in which they outscored their opponents 34-18.

Gloucester rallies for extra-inning win

Don't count the Gloucester baseball team out of the postseason quite yet.

The Fishermen continued their march back to .500 with an 8-5 victory over Lynn Classical in eight innings yesterday afternoon. Gloucester, which has struggled to play consistent ball throughout the season, has now won two straight games to raise its record to 5-6.

Kontos' late score tips Gloucester

Danvers captain Steve Kontos broke an 8-8 tie with nine minutes to play to lift the Falcons (5-6) to a pivotal NEC win, 9-8 over Gloucester. Eric Sands had a solid day with three goals while Kontos finished with a pair and three helpers. Danvers, which led 6-4 at the half, got single goals from Jay Sabino, Steve Deroche, Ryan Burrige and Mike Parisella.

Gloucester boys finish third at Rotary Meet

After loss to Peabody, Gloucester searching for wins

At the halfway point of the spring season, the Gloucester High School baseball team is in desperate need of wins.

Unfortunately, Gloucester's schedule isn't doing it any favors, and neither are the recent powerhouse ballclubs that the Fishermen have been facing.

Quinn's five goals push Gloucester past Swampscott

In an early season filled with adversity, the Gloucester boys lacrosse team is starting to hit its stride after winning its third straight game.

The Fishermen held off Swampscott, 7-6, at O'Maley Field behind senior midfielder Adam Quinn's game-high five goals. The win was vital for Gloucester, who climbed back to the .500 mark as it tries to qualify for the postseason.

Leathersich pitches, hits Beverly past Gloucester

Senior left-hander Jack Leathersich allowed just five hits and struck out 12 for his third win in four decisions as the host Panthers walloped Gloucester, 7-1, at Brother Roberts Field.

Leathersich also helped himself offensively with a 2-run homer to pace the Panthers (7-3).

Gloucester captains carrying offensive load

The 2008 Gloucester softball team has undoubtedly been lead by its offense.

The Fishermen have averaged close to nine runs per game, and are running opposing outfielders ragged with constant shots deep in the outfield.

Fishermen use extra innings to knock off unbeaten Falcons

There are many different ways to celebrate an extra-innings victory over an undefeated archrival.

The Gloucester softball team decided to take part in a dance to the electric slide after their 5-4 victory over Danvers at Burnham's field. The Fishermen (5-3) had been waiting to bust out the line dance, and a win over Danvers was the perfect time to do it.

Fishermen football team headed to Statehouse

The Gloucester High School football team has learned that it's good to have fans in high places.

Thanks in large part to the efforts of State Rep. Tony Verga (D-Gloucester), the members of Gloucester's Division 2A Super Bowl championship team from last fall will be visiting the Statehouse on Tuesday to be recognized for their accomplishment.

Gloucester beats Pentucket in OT

The second quarter was a killer for Pentucket as the Sachems committed six penalties that led to three Gloucester goals. Despite a strong defensive showing in the second half, the Fishermen scored the sudden-death goal in overtime.

Gloucester's Enderle headed to D-2 AIC

After finishing his senior campaign averaging more than 13 yards per carry and helping lead his team to a Division 2A Super Bowl victory, Anthony Enderle seems more than ready to take his game to the collegiate level.

Carlson's single helps Gloucester outlast Swampscott in eight innings

After watching his team cough up late leads in two straight losses, Gloucester junior second baseman Ross Carlson made sure it wouldn't happen a third time.

Carlson's RBI single with two outs plated junior first baseman Trevor Curley (2 for 4, two runs) to give the Fishermen a much-needed 6-5 upset victory over Swampscott (1-5) in eight innings at Nate Ross Field. With the win Gloucester improved to 2-4, a better record than the Big Blue, who came into the season as a Northeastern Conference favorite.

Witches get better of Gloucester

Meghan Wilkins won the long jump, Ali Moncao won the triple jump and the pair tied for the win in the 400 to spark Salem (2-1) over Gloucester 85-37. Desiree DeLeon qualified for the state meet with a 13.2 in the 100 while Rebecca Bennett won the 800, Monique Gallant took the mile and Nicole Maurice came out on top in the two mile.

Witches down Fishermen

Ben Dibble recorded wins in the low (45.0) and high (17.0) hurdles to lead the undefeated Witches (3-0) over Gloucester 72-64. Zach Gilbert won the shot put (42-11) and the discus (119) to round out the double winners while Matt Johnson won the triple (38-11) and Tyler Daniles took the javelin (139-2). Nick Sinclair (200, 23.9) and Melikke Van Alstyne (100, 11.0) won sprints and teamed with Eugene De La Cruz and Mike Nagrambe to take the 4x100 relay.

Big Blue walk off with win

Mallory McGrath's shot up the third base line scored Erin McLaughlin to break a 9-9 tie in the seventh inning as the Big Blue (3-2) walked off with their third straight win, 10-9 over Gloucester. Katherine Gorham and Sam Perry each drove in a pair to key an eight run fourth inning for Swampscott, which benefitted from three Fisherman errors.

Explosive Sachems dismantle Gloucester

At 5-2, the Pentucket Sachems are emerging as a legitimate force in the Cape Ann League. Yesterday's victory against a struggling Gloucester team proved that the Sachems are a team that aren't going to underestimate or overlook any opponent.  

Late comeback not enough for Fishermen

Gloucester boys lacrosse coach Drew Dominick has a seemingly simple philosophy on what is the key to playing winning lacrosse | play solid for four quarters.

 Unfortunately for the Fishermen, they turned in just one quarter of solid play in their 5-4 loss to Salem yesterday at Salem High School.

Salem rallies from five down to haul in Fishermen

There is no quit in this Salem High baseball team.

The Witches, who trailed by five runs in the fifth inning at Gloucester yesterday, rallied behind Harry Noone and Ben Henderson for an 11-8 triumph over the Fishermen for their third straight win.

Gloucester can't hold five-run lead against Marblehead

In yesterday's matchup with defending Northeastern Conference champion Marblehead, the Gloucester softball team had four innings tit would like to remember and two innings it would rather forget.

Six-goal run helps Gloucester defeat Saugus

For the rest of the spring, you'd be hard-pressed to find a lacrosse game that more easily fits the "tale of two halves" cliche.

Saugus led at halftime over a lifeless Gloucester team that was searching for its first win of the season.

Fishermen earn first win

It's safe to say the Gloucester baseball team didn't start the season the way they would've liked to.

The Fishermen fell to Masconomet and Winthrop by a combined score of 26-4 in their first two games of the spring. However, Gloucester took a step toward righting the ship yesterday with a 4-2 win on the road at Saugus. Junior lefty Brett Smith gave the Fishermen (1-2) a much-needed quality start on the mound, going 6 2/3  innings and striking out six.

Football for Fulford

Football or hockey or both?

That was a question that Gloucester High School senior Andrew Fulford had been pondering over the past several months, as he was simultaneously narrowing down his college choice. After four years of playing both sports at a very high level (he was All-Northeastern Conference in both this year) at Gloucester High School, it was well-within reason to believe Fulford could play either sport in college.

Fishemen fall to 0 - 2

The tough early schedule has taken its toll on the Fishermen, as they fell to 0-2 on the young season. Center fielder Ross Carlson had three hits and Brett Cahill added two hits to lead the way for Gloucester.

Gloucester outlasts Winthrop in 11 innings

During last year's five-win season, the Gloucester softball team most likely would've never won a game like yesterday's contest with Winthrop. But what a difference a year can make.

The Fishermen hit the road to take on a Vikings team that went 14-6 last year. However, the visitors were able to outlast Winthrop in an 11-inning marathon, 9-6, improving to 3-0 on the season. Gloucester put the game away in the top of the 11th when Olivia Frontiero knocked in two runs with a double to make it 8-6. Ali Kippen, who had homered in the 10th, then singled in Frontiero for an insurance run.

Not a dull day for Fenwick's Dullea

Bridget Dullea had one of those days she will probably never forgot.

"I just kept scoring ... it was ridiculous," the 16-year-old junior attack from Peabody said after reaching an individual milestone with eight goals and one assist as Bishop Fenwick (4-0) held off Gloucester, 12-11, in girls' lacrosse on the Fenwick campus yesterday. Her nine-point flurry was a school mark in addition to the eight strikes.

Bunker's two dingers down Gloucester

Evan Bunker bashed two homers in the sixth inning as the Chieftains (2-0) sent 12 men to the plate and scored nine times to blow the game wide open and top Gloucester 12-3.

Kyle Shepard fanned seven Fishermen in recording the win and also had two hits, two runs and an RBI to help his own cause. Pat Matvichuk drove in three runs to help Masco's hot bats, which have produced 29 runs in the first two games of the season.

Anastasia-Murphy looking to close out brilliant career in style

If you take a look at the high school track career of Liam Anastasia-Murphy, it's easy to see why he is a Division 1 college prospect.

For starters, Gloucester's senior captain is the school's record holder in the 1,000-meter run with a time of 2:30.25. He also boasts the honor of Northeastern Conference Most Valuable Player in both cross country and indoor track this year. If that were not enough, he was the Class B state champion in both cross country and the 1,000-meter run this year, and was also a part of the All-State champion 4x800 relay team this winter with Austin Souza, Alex Trotsky and Andrew Ryan.

Gloucester's Hickey reflects on eventful basketball season

As we still sit in limbo waiting for the high school spring sports season to begin, now is as good a time as any to clean out the old inbox and take a  look at how a few of our local athletes are performing at their respective colleges.

Gloucester cheerleaders win national title

When the Gloucester High School co-ed Cheerleading team left home for Orlando, Fla. and the Cheerleaders of America Ultimate Nationals, they left as a pretty accomplished team.

The Fishermen had already won the Northeastern Conference and finished second at the Massachusetts Regionals, as well as the State and New England Championships.

Fishermen, Clippers hockey rematch lives up to the hype

So what exactly was it like to be a part of yesterday's Division 2 North quarterfinal boys hockey game between No. 3 Gloucester and sixth-seeded Newburyport?

"I had pins and needles man, pins and needles," said Newburyport head coach Paul Yameen. "I knew it was going to be a battle."

Hat-trick Holmes the hero with miraculous game-winner

When the tournament pairings came out, the potential spectacle of a rematch between Newburyport and Gloucester in the second round had the makings of a classic.

After all, Newburyport entered the Division 2 North tournament with an eight-game winning streak, and Gloucester was the team with the recent state championship success (2006 state title).

Fishermen know what to expect from physical Clippers

Gloucester junior tri-captain Josh Salah could easily sum up what went wrong in the Fishermen's regular-season matchup with Newburyport.

"They beat us up," Salah said.

The Clippers used their size advantage and a smaller rink (Graf Rink in Newburyport) to neutralize Gloucester's speed en route to a 4-2 win on Feb. 2.

Gloucester rallies in final minute to oust North Reading

North Reading had to beat Lynnfield and tie Wilmington just to get into the state tournament.

The odds of that seemed slim and none, but the Hornets did it.

But beating third-seeded Gloucester in their Division 2 North first-round matchup would be even more improbable. Yet, it came down to one play.

Gloucester quartet knows all about tourney success

Heart, desire and hunger.

According to Gloucester boys hockey coach Don Lowe, those are three key attributes that every team has to have going into the Division 2 state hockey tournament. The Gloucester hockey team hopes to bring those three qualities to this year's tourney along with one attribute that separates them from most of the field: Experience.

Belmont's height too much for Fishermen

Last night the Gloucester girls basketball team was reminded that basketball is indeed a tall person's sport.

The young and relatively inexperienced 12th-seeded Fishermen, with Jill Lukegord as the team's lone senior, met No. 5 Belmont in the opening round of the Division 2 North state tournament. However, experience was not so much the issue in this contest. Height was.

A Senior Night to remember

If I could have last Thursday night back, I would make sure that I was sitting in the stands inside the Smith Field House at Gloucester High School around 8:30 p.m.

Eight days ago, in that aforementioned location, arguably the most emotional and inspirational moment of the Cape Ann winter sports season took place.

Fishermen set for tourney after rout of D-Y

Throughout the season the Gloucester boys hockey team's Achilles heal has been their power play.

The power play unit has struggled with consistency and even let up a number of short-handed goals.

In last night's contest against Division 1 Dennis-Yarmouth, however, the power play was the difference in the game. The Fishermen were able to score four power-play goals and carried the play throughout the game in a 6-2 win at the Dorothy Talbot Rink in the regular season finale "Our power play has been inconsistent, but tonight we were able to put it together and get four goals," Gloucester captain Andrew Fulford said. "We still have a little work to do but (the power play) won't be a problem come tournament time."

Fishermen finally healthy with tourney around the corner

At first glance, the Gloucester hockey team's 13-4-2 record looks outstanding.

Look a little closer and a Northeastern Conference championship and a tough schedule that includes wins over NEC powers Peabody and Danvers (twice), and out-of-conference wins over Martha's Vineyard and Arlington makes the Fishermen's performance look even better. What is most remarkable about the Fishermen's record is the fact that they have played just two games all season with a completely healthy roster.

Gloucester falls in tight rematch with Vikings

Last night can be treated as a measuring stick for how much the Gloucester girls basketball team has improved over the past few weeks.

On Feb. 1, the Fishermen suffered their worst loss of the season against Winthrop, a 26-point defeat to the mighty Vikings. However, in last night's rematch, Gloucester proved once again that it can indeed play with a premier team, as the Fishermen took host Winthrop to overtime before falling 58-51.

Salah leads Fishermen past Arlington

It had been a frustrating season for Gloucester's Josh Salah.

The junior forward was touted as one of the top players in the Northeastern Conference and was slated to have a big year for the Fishermen. Salah, however, could not stay healthy, missing most of the season with a broken wrist and a cut on his leg.

Danvers has no answer for Gloucester in shutout loss

SALEM | Just five seconds into their contest Saturday night, Danvers High hockey captain Steve Kontos drilled Gloucester defenseman Nick DeCoste so hard that he actually knocked the rearguard off his skates and into the visiting team's penalty box.

Danvers girls shine on Senior Night with win over Gloucester

It was Senior Night at Danvers High School. It proved to be an excellent motivator for the Falcons girls basketball team.

"I'm glad we got to have it at home," Coach Pat Veilleux said. "We had a good crowd come out for it and it really got the girls going."

Gloucester falls to Peabody on Senior Night

The Gloucester girls hockey team put up a good fight on senior night at Talbot Rink last night, but the Fishermen came up a bit short.

Peabody was able to get a game-winner in the third period to knock off Gloucester 3-2 in a tight contest. Mia Cohen and Margaret Muniz tallied the goals for the Fishermen, while Andrea Rovedo was fantastic in the Gloucester net, stopping 42 shots.
