Last Thursday, the Blue & Gold enjoyed a banner day against Charles River School, earning three impressive victories across varsity flag football, cross country, and field hockey.
In a convincing 26-12 varsity flag football win at home, Joshua Harriette set the tone defensively, relentlessly pressuring the CRS quarterback as a standout rusher. He also delivered a highlight-reel touchdown catch in heavy traffic, sparking his teammates and helping BDS pull away for the win.
Meanwhile, the cross country team blazed through the BDS course, dominating the competition in a 16-55 victory. Newcomers Matilda O’Sullivan and Iris Xu each improved their times by several minutes from last week’s intrasquad race, while several runners set personal records, including Zoe Bantham-Livermore, who crossed the finish line first! A spirited crowd with cowbells ringing and many volunteers made the meet a true community event; thank you to all who cheered and helped along the course!
On the road in Dover, the field hockey team secured a hard-fought 2-0 win. After a scoreless first half, the BDS defense held strong, keeping CRS off the board. With two minutes left in the third quarter, Ella Kamenski broke through with the team’s first goal of the season. Early in the fourth, Josie Goldstyn tipped in the second and final goal, sealing the victory.
It was an unforgettable day of Belmont Day spirit and success. And as always … GO BDS!
