What started out as a beautiful day quickly turned bitterly cold as the first pitch was thrown at Paul R. Archambeault Field, on the grounds of David Prouty High School, even see- ing snow flurries on and off through the first few innings. Uxbridge took the first game of the year, with an impres- sive 16-5 final score. According to David Prouty coach Chuck Fahey, the Panthers’ loss was the product of a combination of small mistakes. “A lot of the little things we’ve got to get done, we didn’t do,” Fahey said following the game. “It’s a quick season, so we can’t throw games away.” Particularly, dropped balls, pick-offs and some base run- ning mishaps all contributed to the less than stellar show- ing. Prouty’s starting pitcher, John Tretheway, started off the set with a walk, then went on to toss for seven hits, two Christopher Tanguay photos strikeouts, three more walks and a hit batter over three innings of work, giving up three runs in the first inning. Above: Prouty’s Ben Romano gets thrown out at first base. Tretheway managed to get through the second, only allowing Below: Justin Hyland makes a diving attempt to tag out Bliss as he steels sec- two Spartans to cross the plate, as Uxbridge’s Kyle Allaire ond. hit into a six-three-five double play to end the inning. When Mike Letendre took to the mound for the Panthers in the fourth, he gave up two walks, before again ending the inning on a double play.This time, though, the two outs came during a botched steal attempt. Overall, Uxbridge safely landed at least half a dozen stolen bases throughout the game. After a one-two-three fifth inning, Letendre gave up a Christopher Tanguay photos three-run blast over the leftfield fence to Uxbridge’s Tim The Panthers’ John Tretheway throws out the first pitch at Phillips, who was plucked in the shoulder during his first at- Prouty’s season, and home, opener. bat. That particular pitch did not go unanswered either, as Prouty’s Josh Nicol took a pitch to the back in the fourth as well. Nicol was instrumental for the Panthers early on in the game, as he laid down a bunt cover two pitches in a row, allowing two runners to steal home in the first. For Uxbridge, Phillips was first to take to the hill, giving up one hit and one walk in the first. The two Panthers brought in on the bunt play were the only runs Phillips would allow during his five innings, even though some of Prouty’s biggest opportunities came on passed balls. So was their luck in the sixth, when a passed ball started off a three- run rally over the inning. “Our starting pitcher,” Uxbridge coach Bob McLaughlin said, “really got to them by throwing strikes.” In the seventh, Uxbridge’s Jason Silbur followed a double by Ross White with a two-bagger of his own, putting up another couple of runs, and kicking off a seven-run ava- lanche to finish Uxbridge’s offensive assault on the Panthers. With one more inning to swing, Prouty’s Mike Mattei put forth a valiant effort in trying to outrun a rundown, in which he was nabbed to end the game. Reflecting on the 16-5 season opener, McLaughlin said, “Overall, for the opener, I’m pretty pleased with a lot of things,” adding, “but we have to work on our base running.”

SPENCER — Pieces from five David Prouty High School students — freshman Michelle Wozniak, juniors Justin LaFleche-Tomlin, Paige Hart and Paige Morrill and senior Emily Casavant — were included in last month’s Youth Art Month at the Worcester Art Museum.

The multimedia exhibit is sponsored by the Massachusetts Art Education Association as part of Youth Art Month, a national celebration to emphasize the value of art education for all children and to encourage support for the quality art programs in Massachusetts schools.

Art teachers from 35 cities and towns have volunteered their time to make this event possible.
