BOB MARTIN Gilford volleyball survives Bethany Tanner finishes hard at the Central Lakes Invitational, alongside Jada Edgren of Belmont. John Stark to remain undefeated

BY BOB MARTIN [email protected] GILFORD – The Golden Eagles remained undefeated and at the top of Di- vision 3 with a pair of wins last week, including a thriller against a talented John Stark squad that nearly handed the Gilford volleyball team its first loss of the season. John Stark came ready to play but Gilford fought its way to a 3-2 win on Oct. 8. The game scores were 26-24, 20-25, 25-17, 11-25 and 15-13. “Wow what a match,” said coach Amy Tripp. “Tuesday night we played John Stark in an exceptional volleyball match where we narrowly defeated a hard serving, hard hitting John Stark team.” She added that her team was “determined, mentally tough and showed good endurance.” Senior captain Naomi Eldridge was commended or her strong, consistent serving, but Tripp said overall it really was a full team effort. Riley McDonough had 22 assists and three kills. Senior middle blocker Abby O’Connor had a game high 12 kills to go with three blocks. Sophomore middle blocker Kate Sullivan had 10 kills and six blocks. Senior captain out- side hitter Abby Warren had eight kills.

BY BOB MARTIN [email protected] GILFORD – It was a tough week for Gil- ford girls’ soccer, who dropped a pair of games against Bishop Brady and Prospect Mountain. On Oct. 9, the Golden Eagles fell 4-1 to Bishop Brady. Gilford got on the board first with a goal in the first half by Gwen Knipping off of a corner kick, but Bishop Brady tied things up 15 min- utes into the second half. The Green Giants scored three quick goals to run away with the game, which included a penal- ty kick. Jaylin Tully had sev- en saves in net and Knip- ping scored the lone goal, with no assist credited. “This was a tough game for us going in,” said coach Rob Mey- ers. “The girls came out playing really well. The contested every ball and worked hard from end to end.

WOLFEBORO — The second annual Ben Baldwin Hockey Tournament comes to the Pop Whalen Arena on Oct. 19 and 20. Mite teams from around the state, including Berlin, Laconia, Dover, Rochester, Back Bay and Mount Washington Valley will play cross-ice games on Saturday and full-ice games on Sunday, with the tournament running from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days. There will also be a raf- fle featuring a number of unique items, including a Bruins jersey signed by last year’s team and a trip to the Bruins game with former Bruin Steve Leach, where the winner can watch the game in the Bruins alumni box with Leach. The tour- nament is named in honor of young hockey player Ben Baldwin, who passed away in an accident in 2018. All proceeds benefit the Ben Baldwin Memorial Scholarship, which is in place to help local kids pursue their athletic dreams.
