Olivia Richman photos STURBRIDGE — More than 100 people participated in the Relay For Life’s Scare Away Cancer Fun Run and 5K. Despite the chilly weather, avid runners and families alike showed up to the Publick House on Saturday, Oct. 29, some in costume. The fundraiser benefited the American Cancer Society, helping fund research and treatment.

The Worcester County Sheriff’s Department’s Recruit Training Academy ran the 5K in formation.

The Relay For Life’s Scare Away Cancer 5K was a huge success, with more than 100 runners. From left: Katie Coughlin (volunteer), Alyssa Tracy (community manager), Lauren Falco (volunteer) and Cathy Thompson (volunteer).

“I haven’t run in a while,” said second place finisher Nathan Brooks. “It was a great run!”

Connor Dubreuli with his father, Connor, and his physical education teacher at Trinity Catholic Academy, Maura Power, all ran the race together.

Denise McCarthy, Hilary McCarthy and Patti Vacon made their way to the finish line. The McCarthy sisters dressed up in cat ears and tutus for the occasion.

Schott (a race sponsor) employee Adriana Robaina and her son Joshua Ramos, 6, ran the Fun Run. Third place finisher Melissa Deorsey said she felt wonderful after the race.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER HOLDEN — When the Shepherd Hill Regional varsity volleyball team head- ed to Wachusett Regional on Tuesday, Oct. 25, they knew they were in for a tough outing versus the Mountaineers. “We knew after the match that we won at our place that they would be looking for some revenge, especially on their Senior Night,” said Rams’ head coach Tom Caffelle, referencing a 3-2 home victory on Sept. 27 where set scores were 25-23, 17-25, 17-25, 25-18, 16-14. But Shepherd Hill had some extra motivation of their own, as their record stood at 9-9, just one victory away from clinching a berth in the Central/West Mass. Division 1 district tournament for the first time since 2012. Behind a spirited team effort, the Rams emerged victorious again 3-2, this time with set scores of 24-26, 25-22, 25-21, 19-25, 15-6. “We tried so hard today and I’m so happy that we pulled this out because I know we could have done it and I know we’re going to do good in districts,” said Shepherd Hill senior co-captain Julianne Green. Shepherd Hill’s Kyra Foss serves the ball in The Rams had a chance to qualify for versus Wachusett. the playoffs a night earlier, but Caffelle said that his team “kind of had a poor outing” versus Marlborough High, which culminated in a 3-0 loss. “We did not play particularly well,” added Caffelle. “I told them before that Nick Ethier photos they shouldn’t lose confidence and that I was confident that they would play The Shepherd Hill varsity volleyball team rushes to the center of the court to celebrate their well today, and they did.” 3-2 victory over Wachusett, which propelled the Rams into the district tournament for the first time since 2012. Despite The Hill’s strong performance, it was Wachusett that won the first set. The Mountaineers trailed, 19-16, before scoring 10 of the final 15 points to surge ahead, 1-0. “I was especially proud of them not sagging after we lost a close first set, but they believed in themselves and they did it,” Caffelle said of the Rams’ rally. The second and third sets were nearly mirror images of each other, which saw Shepherd Hill jump to a large lead (14-6 in the second, 17-8 in the third) before holding off late Wachusett comeback With Federica Mozzarelli watching, Theodora bids. Veronis of Shepherd Hill returns a serve. The Rams then grabbed a 4-0 lead in the fourth set but the Mountaineers, motivated because of the seniors’ final home game, ended up winning it some- what easily. That set up the deciding fifth set between the two teams for the second time this season. A coin flip is used to decide which side serves first, and Shepherd Hill uncharacteristically won it. “We’ve struggled with the coin flips this year,” said Caffelle. “We just seem to be on the short end of it so often and passing has been a problem at times this year. So when you win the flip you Shepherd Hill’s Emily Dabrowski elevates to block a tip taken by Wachusett’s Megan Smith. start serving rather than start passing and it proved to be a big thing because we jumped out to an early lead in the fifth set.” That they did behind the serving of sophomore Cayley Fagan, who rattled Shepherd Hill’s Kyra Foss taps the ball back off five straight service points to put the over the net to Wachusett’s side of the court. Rams ahead, 6-1. Later in the set senior Emily Dabrowski contributed a kill to put the score at 14-6 and The Hill won it a point later when Wachusett couldn’t cleanly return the ball up and over the net following a volley. Overall, the Rams’ Federica Mozzarelli, a junior, finished with a team-high 14 service points, while senior co-captain Kyra Foss had 9, Fagan and junior Hailey Delphia added 6 and Green had 5. “We stepped up, we did everything that we possibly could have — it was amazing, it was awesome,” Green said of the important victory.
