Even though Labor Day is often a disappointing time as families say goodbye to summer and kids get ready to return to school, the fair always cheers people up with a final weekend of fun. The four-day weekend included the always popular demolition derby, a truck pull, musical performances, carnival rides, and of course plenty of delicious foods.

Leicester’s offense wasn’t too shabby, either. They began the game with the ball and embarked on a long drive, scoring with 4:52 to go in the opening quarter. Bryce Gosselin busted out a couple of 10-plus yard runs and Grebel finished it off with a 2-yard plunge up the middle to make it 6-0. Then, in the second quarter, Leicester quarterback Daniel Mero hooked up with receiver Billy Roberts on an important passing play that ultimately set up a 25-yard field goal by Nolan Power to make it 9-0. On the defensive side, Roberts picked off a Sutton pass late in the second quarter.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER LEICESTER — Through 36 minutes of play between the Leicester High and Douglas High girls’ varsity soccer teams at Community Field on Friday, Sept. 8, neither side could break through and score. But the Wolverines turned the switch from off to on after that, registering four goals in a 12-minute stretch — two late in the first half, two early in the second — to help account for an eventual 5-1 victory. “We were very tight, they weren’t playing or flowing. As soon as they decided to play little balls in behind it opens up our attack,” Leicester head coach Tim Hippert said of the difference between the lack of Leicester’s Samantha Walsh keeps the ball away from Douglas’ Kiara goal scoring to the flurry of Johnson by making a pass away from her. strikes. “We’re fast as a team.” The win improved the Wolverines’ record to 2-0, while goal. “The DVC [Dual Valley the Tigers dropped their sea- Leicester then scored in the Conference] is always known son opener. 46th and 48th minutes, respec- for a strong league and they Leicester’s Madison Hippert sends the ball, via her head, to Douglas’ side “Not to make an excuse, but tively, to expand their advan- always play strong outside, but of the field. we don’t have the numbers,” tage to 4-1.

Matt Fall said. “Our kids took instruction well this preseason. Things looked a little sloppy at practice sometimes — growing pains — but they seemed to figure it out tonight and they put it together, so I couldn’t be any prouder of the defense tonight for sure.” The interceptions were recorded by, in order, Josh Troy, Alec Desimone, Pat Dyer and Daniel Keefe, with Desimone’s being returned for a touchdown. Desimone also recovered Southbridge’s fumble. “It’s a balanced defense so you can teach multiple kids different spots on the defense,” Fall said of the way nearly everyone on the field produced a defensive highlight.
