The Blaze - 1997

The founding of Cardigan Mountain School in 1945 was a day that would change the lives of every boy to set foot on its serene mountain campus. For fifty years Cardigan has enjoyed the success of seeing graduation after graduation of many a boy seeking to contribute not only to his own inner desire to learn, grow, and prosper, but to have the opportunity to meet new friends and establish relationships that will last a lifetime. This Cardigan Mountain School Vearbook is one of the ways that we can ensure that the Cardigan Mountain School tradition will live on for years to come.

Blaze Dedication The individual that this year's Senior Class has chosen to honor is, without doubt, one of the stalwarts of the Cardigan faculty. For those of us fortunate enough to have been in his classes, he has made the study of the English language fun, he has helped us improve our writing, and he has even sparked our interest in Shakespeare.

No matter where we see him performing the myriad of duties that he does, whether driving a bus, coaching tennis, supervising the dining hall, or running the A ll-Sch o o l Spelling Bee, he always has a smile for everyone. His upbeat attitude and wonderful sense of humor have affected us all in a very positive way. He is a person who makes us feel good about ourselves. For all of these reasons, as well as for his genuine concern for each of us and for his pride in his craft, we dedicate the 1997 Blaze to "The Dean of Rock 'n R o ll,"

Varsity Football The Varsity Football Team had a great season and they won all of their games.

This is the eighth time this feat has been accomplished in the long, proud history of football at Cardigan. The team was led by three returning players from last year's varsity squad: Ben M urphy, Robbie Barker, and Quincey Hills. The three of them led a potent offense that could score equally well by the pass or the run. They were tough defenders as well, but most importantly was the leadership they pro­ vided a large group of new players at­ tempting to merge a team. Newcomers Andy Zoufaly, Bo Christini, and Ryan Stevens were on the receiving end of Quincey's accurate passes.

Winning the Coaches' Award for his contribution this year was Rick Games.

The Most Valuable Player was Robbie Barker, and the Most Improved Award went to Quincey Hills.

Reserved Football The year's reserve football team was great. Although most of the players had never played football before, once they learned the fundamentals they played well. Some of the players even got to play in some of the J. V. games. Everyone tried as hard as he could and many are looking forward to playing on the J.V. team next year. The Coaches' Award went to Ronnie Rawson. The Most Improved Award on offense to Landon Sawyer, and the de­ fense award to Spencer Langford. The Most Valuable player was Marquis Daisy.

Varsity Soccer This year was another very successful year for the Cougar Varsity Soccer Team.

They finished the season with 6 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties. In post season play, they finished second in the New England Junior Prep School Tournament. The team was led by the size of Jed Clift and the speed of Dan C esere, Erik M auser, and John Sullivan. The Captains, three year veteran Freddy Meyer, Dan Cesere and two year i^eteran Mike Woodford, provided the team's leadership. Rookies Marco Cedrone and Erik Mauser joined last year's reserve standouts John Clift and Matt Hutchinson to form a defensive unit which many times allowed the goal tenders Noah Reid and Ryan Murphy to sit in the goal without having to make a save. Brady Leisenring,

and Freddy Meyer scored the majority of the fifty goals scored this season. The Coaches' Award went to Jed Clift, Peter Hinman, and Ryan Murphy. The Most Improved Player Award to John Sullivan and the Most Valuable Player Award to Freddy Meyer.

Reserve A Soccer This year Reserve A Soccer had a very successful season. The overall team record was 8-3-1. The team had its greatest suc­ cess in the Cardigan Mt. School Tourna­ m ent with a 2-0 win over arch rival Eaglebrook. Eventually, they went on to beat Kearsage in a shoot out. This put the team into the final match against the Re­ serve B team. Overall, the season was great. The Coaches' Award went to Ethan Dahlberg. The Most Improved Award went to Tyler Mason, and The Most Valuable Award to Adam Carlson.

Reserve B Soccer The Reserve B Soccer Team got off to a rough start, but later in the season they came together as a team, winning more games as the season progressed. In the Cardigan Mountain School Tournament they came in fourth. This was a great achievement because they had come much farther than they had expected. The Coaches' Award went to Edward Poirier while the Most Improved Award went to Patrick Connors, and The Most Valuable Player Award went to Nick Foster.

Reserve C Soccer The Reserve C Soccer Team had a great year. Though their record wasn't impres­ sive the team had a lot of fun. The team consisted of 22 members. The idea of the team was to learn and practice fundamen­ tals as well as to learn good sportsman­ ship. The highlight of the season was the resounding victory against the Cornish team. In the goal, Juan Pablo Mahaud did a great job of keeping the other team from scoring. The center of the defense were Sean Chan and Pablo Baptista. In the half­ back position was Sang Won Lee and Alvaro de la Macorra. The forward, Palbo Alija, did a good job of scoring goals. The Coaches' Award went to Sang Won Lee. The Most Improved Award went to Mac MacVittie, and the Most Valuable Player Award went to Juan Pablo Mahaud.

Rocks and Ropes This rocks and ropes season was fun and it was a learning experience. The members were Andrew Alexiou, Jay Christianson, Jake Minkoff, Steve Pancoe, Jeff Priess, David H obson, C hris H ilton, D arby Kurland, Palmer DePetro, Sam Davenport, Ryan Wilcox and Louis Bonnecaze. A few of the members had had past experience in climbing, but many of the group were new to the sport. Everyone enjoyed our climbs.

They had an exciting season and everyone improved his skills. Andrew Alexiou and Darby Kurland were recognized as leaders of the group.

Intramurals Thanks to Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Hart, this year's intramural squad had a lot of fun. They enjoyed a trip to the Polar Caves and many other well planned activities such as educational nature walks in the woods, climbing the Pinnacle, playing soc­ cer with the reserve C team, playing vol­ leyball in the gym on rainy days and ca­ noeing on the lake on nice days.

Cross Country Running Cross Country Running enjoyed a suc­ cessful season. The Coaches' Award went to Chris Clarke, Most Improved to Reid Chalker, and the Most Valuable to Mat­ thew Herweck. Clarke and Chalker will be back to run for Cardigan next fall.

J.V. Football This year's J.V. Football Team worked well under Coaches Hardy, Chalker, Kreuzburg, and Fenton. The Most Im­ proved Player on the offense was Landon Sawyer and the Most Improved on De­ fense was Spencer Langford. The Most Valuable Player was Marquis Daisy, and the C oaches' Award w ent to Ronnie Rawson.

J.V. Soccer This year's J.V. Soccer finished with a record of 6-5. Most of our wins occurred during the second half of the season. One of the reasons for this was the dedicated coaching of Mr. Gray and Mr. Andrews, which helped us all become better players.

In the beginning of the season, most of our players had very few skills, but through hard work and patience we became a solid team. Our Captains and other leaders of the team helped to produce both a winning and very successful season for the J.V. team.

Varsity Hockey This year the Varsity Hockey had a very successful season, finishing with 23 wins, 4 losses and 2 ties. The team had a great mix of eighth and ninth graders. The eighth graders adding the fire power up front were: Billy Zuretti who had a great perfromance against Canterbury, Brady Leisnerin, Tim Graham, Ryan Stevens and Ryan Murphy. Gino Rotundi was like a wall on defense. Mike Maher was manager, Mr. Noel offensive coach, Mr. Hardy taught defensive tactics and Mr. Blood goal tending. Fred Meyer was the Most Valuable Player, Dan Ceser the Most Improved Player and Ben Murphy was given the Coaches' Award.

J.V . A Hockey J.V. A Hockey started the season with eight wins in eight games and finished with 13 wins, 8 losses and 3 ties. One of the most impressive wins was against the Rochester Blackhawks who claimed to be the best team in New England. With a minute and fifteen seconds left in the third period, Cardigan was losing 5-4. We pulled our goalie, and Mike Bannon took the face off and pulled the puck back to Temo Koskelin who took a slap shot and scored to tie the game. We then scored another two goals to win the game. The Most Valuable Player was Ed Poirier, the Most Improved Player was Peter Hinman and the Coaches' Award went to Mike Bannon.

J.V . B Hockey At the beginning of the season the J.V. B Hockey team was not playing as well as they were able to play. The won only a handful of games due to differences between player and a couple of bad breaks. After Parents' Weekend the team decided to put its differences aside and work together; as a result, the playter imporved and began beating teams J.V. A had once played. The highlight of the season was the last game in which Rick Games and K.C. Roche helped defeat Woodstock with four seconds left.

The Most Valuable Player was Ernesto Suarez, and Most Imporved Player was David Schwarz, and the Coaches' Award went to Micke Lynch.

48

Reserve Hockey Reserve Hockey had its ups and downs and rinished with a record of four wins and eight losses. The most important factor, though, was that the players achieved two major goals: they had fun and they learned how to play the gaem of hockey.

At the beginning of the season the team could neither pass nor skate, so the players could almost forget about shooting. But Coaches Dyer and Clark used patience and encourage足 ment to teach not only about hockey but about things like class, discipline and team play. Perhaps the most memorable example was Coach Dyer's "Might Ducks" practice when he roped the players together in order to teach them about team unity.

Then, in the fifth game, Adam Schwamb scored a hat trick, helping th power Cardigan to an 8-3 win against Harford. An exciting victory against Pleasant Valley followed with Pat Joyce scoring the game winner with just a minute left. Aonther boost to the season was a come-from-behind 4-3 win against Wood stock when two goals were scored ten seconds apart in the tinal minute. The Most Valuable Player was Jonah Oakley, the Most Improved Player was Matt Kiggins and the Coaches' Awards went to Jeremiah Shipman and Adam Schwamb.

Varsity Basketball This year's Varsity Basketball Team had another successful season with a record of 17 and 4. The team used their quick feet, a non-stopping press and an up tempo game to pull away from bigger, slower teams. They began with a seven straight wins but had their dreams of going undefeated demolished with a heartbreaking loss in overtime to Biship Brady. But that did not stop this determined team.

Although they had a few more losses on the season, they proved they could come from behind. For example, against Suffield they were dwon by fifteen at the halk, and led by the Most Valuable Player Quincey Hills, they were able to come back and win by five. The Most Improved Player was Kevin Chen and the Coaches' Award went to Marquis Daisy.

J.V . Basketball The J.V. Basketball team improved and learned to work together. Team members learned from Coach Porter that the key to winning the game is to hustle, box out and crash the boards.

With the help of some key Reserve players, Cardigan's J.V. made it all the way to the finals in the Hanover Tournament. Their toughest competi足 tion was Cornish whom they beat during the regular season in overtime and then squeaked by to win the tournament. In this exciting game they played aggressive defense, forced turnovers and hit some clutch shots in the rinal moments. The season's Most Valuable Players were Hisham Attar and Erick Mauser, the Most Improved Player was Sangwon Lee and the recipient of the Coaches' Award was Jason Hong.

Reserve Basketball The Reserve Basketball Team finished the season strongly with an exciting game against Eaglebrook.

They started the season poorly, but after a couple of hard practices, they began to work together and play better. With Hasler's reboudns, Howard's speed, Lee's assists, Nazer's steals, Han's points, Hilli's' lay-ups, M a's outside shots, Autrey's block Cha's defense, Chang's passes and Hodnett's support, the team began to win. On offense they ran the low offense when their opponents played man-to-man defense and fan the zone offense when they played zone defense. On defense they always played man-to-man and had everyone on the team box out his man in order to grab every rebound. In this way the team was at its best. Modar Nazer was the Most Valubable Player, Stephen Howard was the Most Improved Player and Peter Chang won the Coaches' Award.

Alpine A Skiing The Varsity Ski Team began its season when invited to Sunday River for the Weekend. Unfortunately, Colin MacMillan broke both his legs at this meet and was out for the season. Even with this tragedy, the team had a great season and earned respect from all the varsity prep school
