WHHS Enters 3Rd Phase

Vol 22 Issue 14 • 16 Pages News and Views By and For West Haven • April 12, 2018 PRICELESS WHHS enters 3rd phase Parents and students are ex- periencing some new traffic patterns at West Haven High School as the third phase of its reconstruction begins, according to one of the committee members. Pile-drivers and demolition equipment have caused the closure of some of the road behind the school, and the loss of some parking spaces in the teacher’s parking lot. According to Ken Carney, a member of the WHHS Con- struction Committee, the new traffic patterns and loss of parking spaces are necessary for new work to get under- way. Currently the slab that once supported the former G-wing of the building is being ripped up and carted away. The wing, which housed the school’s shops was demolished in 2017. According to Carney, who was the only one of five city officials contacted by the Voice to respond, said parking should not be a problem as the construction crews transition to the next phase of the plan. “The team spent a lot of time developing a new traffic flow,” he said. “We have lost some parking spaces but we also where able to make those spaces up by opening the gates The most recent rendition of the new West Haven High School sees the entrance moved facing the parking lot.

Weather plays havoc with teams In a week that played havoc to the schedule postponing most of the contests due to snow and rain, West Haven High School was able to get several games in. The baseball team faced the Career Panthers for the second time in the young season with similar results. Just like the previous Saturday, the Westies poured it on in the first, two innings and cruised to a 20-1 victory over the Panthers. The Blue Devils scored four in the first inning and batted around twice in the second inning, putting up 15 runs. They tacked on another run on a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the fourth for the 20-1 final. Dennis Gamester had four RBIs while Brett Gradoia had three RBIs to lead the Westies. Ty Reeves and Chris Cavallaro each had two hits. Nick Flammia pitched three, scoreless innings, giving up three hits while striking out three before giving away to Juan Contreras, who pitched the final, two innings, giving up a run on one hit. This week, the boys had road games at Branford on Monday and Guilford on Wednesday and host the East Haven Yellow Jackets on Thursday at 3:45. The boys lacrosse team opened its season on Thursday at home against the Amity Spartans. The Spartans jumped all over the Blue Devils building an 8-0 lead before the Westies were able to get on the board. Nick Massaro had a goal and an assist, Niko Kyle had a goal and the highlight of the game was when goal- tender Kevin Moriarty took the ball from his own crease, raced the length of the field, made a couple of nifty moves and sniped the top corner for a goal in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately for the Westies it was not enough in a 12-3 loss. Moriarty also had 26 saves in between the pipes. On Friday evening, the boys took on the Wilbur Cross Gover- nors and were able to even their record at 1-1 with a 9-2 victory. The Blue Devils got on the board 2:48 into the game on a goal by Nick Massaro. Massaro added another tally one minute later to make it 2-0. The Governors were able to even the game with a goal with 4:16 left in the first quarter and another just 1:50 into the second quarter. The Westies would score the next seven, unanswered goals to get a 9-2 victory. Massaro completed his hat trick with a goal with 8:33 left in the half to give the Blue Devils a lead they would not relinquish. Jordan Wetmore scored 40 seconds later Photo by Russ McCreven to increase the lead to 4-2 followed by three goals over the span of 1:24 before the end of the half to pad the lead to 7-2. Logan Cruise control Cole scored with 4:47 left, Connor Fowler at 4:11 and Niko Kyle West Haven’s Jordan Wetmore heads upfield in last week’s lacrosse match with Wilbur Cross. with 3:23 left to put the Westies in command. The Westies topped the Governors, 9-2, and have a 2-1 season mark at this writing.
