Senior Brad Miller and junior Hunter Rief
won the #1 and #3 matches, respectively, and freshmen Sam Stewart and Linn
Worthington, playing five and six, stepped up big as the Gilman Greyhounds
won their second MIAA A Conference Championship in four years, at Caves Valley on
Saturday, defeating Calvert Hall 14-7.
Despite windy conditions on an
already difficult track, the Greyhounds were able to prevail over the Cardinals
in the four hour match.
“Calvert Hall played well, but we seemed to hit
the ball where we wanted to when we had to,” said Stewart.
The Cardinals got
wins from #2 Mike Tavik and #4 Adam Stasuk, but it wasn’t enough. Rief and
Arthur Worthington won their team point, as did Stewart and Linn
Worthington.
“Coach stresses teamwork and that’s why we seem to be able
to win,” said Gilman’s #2 Jason Frankel. “It’s very gratifying to be able to
win a championshiop for him.”
Frankel was referring to coach
Don Rogers, who led the Greyhounds to another championship.
It was Rogers’
fourth straight appearence in the finals, as he leveled his title match record to
2-2.
