The Varsity Girls and Boys opened their respective seasons vs Danville on Thursday in fine fashion. On the Girls field, a tightly fought match was decided in the 80th minute as Brooke Maddock took a pass from freshmen Addie Lyndes and deposited the ball in the back of the net. The Lady Raptors played strong defense throughout the course of the game and gave up but one good scoring opportunity to the Indians. Coach Tenney was pleased that the girls established and controlled the tempo of the match. The girls next game is Tuesday when they host Thetford Academy.
On the Boys field, Aaron Hibbard buried a direct kick from thirty yards out to seal a hard fought come from behind 2-1 victory. Giving up an early goal in the fourth minute of play, the boys played determined ball the rest of the way. Andrew Stimson scored in the 64th minute when he took a deflected ball from Jack Steketee and knotted the score at one apiece. Defensively the team shut down the Indians as Dan Gray handled every ball that came his way. It was a terrific season opener. The Boys host Stratton Mtn. on Wenesday.

Rivendell's Philosophy on Athletics
Competitive athletics play an integral part in the educational programs at Rivendell. The challenges associated with competition create learning experiences for all athletes. A player’s drive, determination, confidence, mental toughness, and emotional control are tested daily. The educational value of athletics lies in how the athlete copes with these challenges. High quality leadership is a must. Coaches stress commitment, dedication, and hard work and work closely with the players as they face these obstacles. With good leadership, athletes will learn self-discipline and self-motivation, and develop good sportsmanship in both winning and losing. It is our hope that athletes are taught a formula that can be applied to real-life situations: They learn to plan, prepare, perform, evaluate, and try again. Our teams play to win, but winning is only a by-product of hard work, good teamwork, respect, and good sportsmanship, which are our focus.
