Editor’s Note: There were hundreds of great moments this year. a c
Here, in chronological order, are the ones The Record sports k guys remember most: BY BRENDAN KOZLOWSKI Sports Writer Sept. 7: In Lyndon Center, it was located on flat ground at the start of the game, but it didn’t take long for the maple barrel to begin rolling in Lyndon Institute’s favor Saturday at Robert K. Lewis Field. Scoring on four of their five first-half possessions, the Vikings rolled up a 28-0 halftime lead and went on to a 47-22 win over North Country Union in the eighth renewal of the Barrel Bowl. It was the second straight win in the series for the Vikings fol - lowing last season’s 46-0 triumph, and their second straight blowout victory this season. Sept. 27 : In Hinesburg, in a battle of unbeaten boys soccer teams, St. Johnsbury Academy prevailed 2-1 over defending state champion and top-ranked Champlain Valley Union on Friday af - ternoon. It was the Hilltoppers’ seventh straight win to start the season and third coming in the vaunted Division I Metro. Oct. 4: In Fair Haven, despite seven lost fumbles, No. 1- ranked Lyndon held onto its lead to win 28-20 Friday night and hold off a late comeback by the Fair Haven Slaters in a matchup of Division II’s top two teams to improve to 6-0.
