NARRAGANSETT—Last spring the Narragansett girls lacrosse team had a tremendous season – going 12-2 in the regular season – but fell just short of making the Division II Championship after a semifinal loss to Tiverton.
Now in Division III, the Mariners are looking like they have what it takes to make it to the championship.
“We’re going pretty strong,” senior captain Chandler Lemay said. “It’s a little fallback from last year being in D-II but we’re still trying our hardest this year.”

COVENTRY — In its first year of varsity competition this Coventry lacrosse team was just happy to win a playoff game and reach the Division III semifinals.
This season, simply making the playoffs isn’t the goal for a team with plenty of lacrosse experience. The Oakers, behind the attack play of Ethan Tryhubczak and Alex Izzi, the middie play of Zach Allen and Jake Harrington and the goalkeeping of Kyle Marquis have bigger goals in 2013.

WEST GREENWICH — The result was predictable. The road to the result wasn’t.
The undefeated Coventry volleyball team traveled just a few miles down Route 3 to face winless Exeter-West Greenwich Tuesday night. The Oakers had lost just three games this season, while the very inexperienced Scarlet Knights had won just two games.
Coventry returned home with its perfect record still intact after a sweep, but the Oakers were forced to work a little harder than they wanted to in a 25-13, 25-23, 25-18 victory over the Knights.

COVENTRY — From the second inning through the sixth inning of Wednesday’s Division I-South home game against Middletown, Coventry senior pitcher Justin Jadach allowed just two hits, one walk and one unearned run.
The first inning? That’s something Jadach and the Oakers would like to forget about.
The Islanders took advantage of walks to lead-off hitter Justin Sellar and No. 2 hitter Justin Sullivan to explode for five runs in the opening frame. Senior Spencer Gradley punctuated the inning with a three-run home run to left field to lead the visitors to a 7-4 victory.

Frustraion sets in for Chargers lax

CRANSTON – The bar may not have been set very high for the Chariho boys lacrosse team in their inaugural season when it came to the numbers in the win-loss column, but that is not to say there is not a level of expectation put upon the players every time they step on the field.
The team may not have won a game in its first four tries this season but each time the Chargers took the field there was noticeable improvement, particularly on offense.
Chariho seemed to take a step back on Saturday afternoon, however, when they dropped a 10-3 decision to Cranston West at Cranston Stadium.

HARRISVILLE—Few players have left their mark on the Chariho girls lacrosse program like seniors Hannah Baker and Mattie Russell.
Now the record books will show just that.
Friday the seniors scored seven goals apiece in a 25-11 rout of the Burillville-North Smithfield Co-op to break the team record for most goals in one game.
“When we played Westerly [April 8] I got six goals and we had no idea during the whole game that it tied the record,” Russell said. “We were like, ‘oh, we could have gotten the record! But we’ll get them next time.’

SOUTH KINGSTOWN—More often than not, when the Chariho, South and North Kingstown outdoor track teams get together for a tri-meet it usually decides the Southern Division regular season champ.
The season is still far from over but after Monday’s meet the Skippers are in the driver’s seat to claim their fourth regular season division title in a row.
In a battle of unbeaten teams North emerged with a 104-50 victory over South and a 107.5-45.5 win over Chariho, leaving just Monday’s meet with West Warwick (2-5) and Westerly (0-2) all that stands between NK and the division title.
