The North Kingstown Skippers earned a berth in the Division I Baseball finals yesterday, beating East Greenwich 7-4. They won the first semifinal game against the Avengers 8-0.

The EG Boys Lacrosse team bests SK 11-2 in Sunday's final at Brown's Stevenson Field.
For a team with a reputation for slow starts, the Avengers seemed determined to not let that happen Sunday, when they played for their third-straight Division II state championship against the South Kingstown Rebels. The first quarter ended with EG up 6-0. By the half, they were up 9-0. Scoring slowed in the second half, but the Avengers still came away with a decisive 11-2 victory over the Rebels.

EG to play Wheeler on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Carcieri Field; Girls fall to Bay View in the quarterfinals.
EG lacrosse fans kicked off last Thursday’s playoffs cheering on the Lady Avengers in their Division I quarterfinal bid against Bay View Academy. Avenger Carolyn Cruise made a successful shot on goal to bring the game to a tie with just over a minute left in the game. A tough call against EG and another goal by Bay View were just enough to give Bay View a 12-11 win over the Avengers. The EGHS boy’s team then took the field under cloudy skies for their Division II quarterfinal game against the Prout Crusaders. Although EG had two wins against Prout during the regular season, the Avengers experienced their typical slow start.

The gift from the Class of 2012 – a nearly life-size knight on a horse – has been delivered and is just inside the gates of Carcieri Field awaiting its permanent placement.
It's sitting just inside the gates of Carcieri Field, a 600-pound, 11-foot-tall statue of an Avenger on a rearing horse – the gift of the Class of 2012. The class recalled by their advisors at graduation last June as being larger than life has left a gift that will ensure they will not soon be forgotten. The metal statue came from Wynn Betts in Colorado. It was sent to Texas to have the Avenger welded in place and then driven across country in a U-Haul. It arrived in January. "I feel this was the perfect gift for our Class of 2012 to give to the school," said Chris Millman, class treasurer, via email. "By our senior year, we truly embodied the school spirit of true Avengers. It is symbolic for the growth and ability that all students …
