EASTHAM — The weather continued to disrupt early spring sports at Nauset Regional High School. But it didn’t stop boys lacrosse (2-1) from picking up a pair of wins, including their first of the season, 8-3, over Canton on Saturday.

Junior Logan Poulin scored two goals and tallied an assist for the Warriors, who had seven different scorers.

Nauset trailed 2-1 before two goals in the final minute of the opening half put the hosts in front. Poulin tied the game with 42.9 seconds left, while sophomore Sam Mayhew made it 3-2 with just 0.2 seconds remaining on the clock ahead of halftime. The Warriors then posted four goals in the third quarter to take a 7-2 lead and cruised to victory.

The boys had two goals late in the fourth quarter in an 8-7 win over Sandwich on Tuesday. Poulin, classmate Joey Berardi, and seniors Colby Smith and Ryder Holm all tallied two goals each.

Girls lacrosse (3-1) split a pair of games, rebounding from Friday’s loss to Sandwich with an 18-4 thumping of Dennis-Yarmouth Regional on Tuesday.

Senior Coral Punch reached 100 career points with five goals and four assists in two games. She posted four goals and three assists against the Dolphins.

Sophomore Julia Kipperman tallied a hat trick in an 11-4 loss to Sandwich.

Nauset had taken the lead three minutes into the game, but Sandwich scored three unanswered goals. The Lady Knights used a late flurry with two goals in the final 46 seconds of the half to build a 6-2 lead. Punch appeared to score early in the third quarter, but it was disallowed, and Sandwich found the net at the other end to make it 8-2 and controlled the game from there.

EASTHAM — Eleven teams in eight varsity sports warm up this week for the Nauset Regional spring sports season.

Baseball starts with a new coach for the second time in as many seasons following the departure of Doug Mason. The Warriors, who went 7-11 last spring, will be led by longtime junior varsity coach Brett Labonte.

The team graduated eight seniors last year, and now senior pitcher Chase Beach hopes to lead the Warriors back to the Cape and Islands League crown alongside classmates Evan Archer, Devin Farrell, Kieran Handville, Andrew Dinnan, Paul Alves, and Ethan Beer. All have seen extended time on the field in their varsity careers.

Boys lacrosse looks to win a third consecutive Cape and Islands Atlantic Division championship. They posted a 7-1 record in league play and a 17-3 record overall but were upended in the Division 2 State Tournament Round of 16 in 2023.

With seven players having graduated, Head Coach Jesse Peno will lean this year on seniors Ryder Holm, Logan Daniels-Julien, and Riley Meehan as he targets a deeper run in the state tournament.

Girls lacrosse took a big step forward last season, improving their record by seven wins with an 11-8 mark and a spot in the state tournament for the first time since 2019.

The team returns without five graduates but has a strong core including seniors Coral Punch, Sienna Reeves, Ali Hawk, Cate Miltimore, and Gaby Foster, juniors Zoe Labdon and Abby Powers, and sophomore Julia Kipperman.

Softball will look to bottle some of their success from 2023, despite the loss of a strong senior class.

Boys and girls tennis are both coming off post-season berths, with the boys having reached the Round of 16, ending the year with a 15-3 record. Coach Andy Lisle, however, will be looking for a new number one following the graduation of Rufus McCleery.

Girls tennis went 9-8 last season with the team’s number one Nicole Boyce back for her senior campaign.

Boys and girls track return key runners for the outdoor season from teams that went 7-0 and 6-1, respectively.

Juniors Madeline Mahoney and Rhianna Sutherland and sophomore Violet Roche had strong indoor campaigns, while freshman Ava Dragon broke onto the scene.

The boys indoor team went undefeated, led by seniors Paytah Dill and Damian Bebber, juniors Isiah Robinson, Aidan Brown and Dominic Bebber, and sophomore Reed Dill.

Girls golf aims to bounce back from a 2-8 record a season ago. They are bolstered by the return of junior Sophie Sullivan, who finished 13th at the South Sectionals in 2023, seniors Audrey Jones and Bella Roberts, and freshman Sophie Silvestri.

EASTHAM — Nauset senior Jordyn Streitmatter represented the Warriors in the Cape and Islands High School All-Star basketball game last Sunday at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center.

Streitmatter posted a team-high 17 points, knocking down 5 3-pointers on her way to being named Most Valuable Player for the Lower Cape all-star team. The team, however, was edged by the Upper Cape, 74-71, in the 34th edition of the event.

“To be selected to represent Nauset meant my hard work has paid off, and it showed that what I’ve been doing in games is being recognized,” she said.

Streitmatter recently made a commitment to play basketball at NCAA Division III Mitchell College in New London, Conn. The shooting guard averaged a team-leading 16.5 points per game and had 30 3-pointers in 20 games as a senior.

Mitchell College women’s basketball is coming off a 6-16 record overall and a 4-10 mark in conference play under first-year head coach Ashley Wilson. The Mariners play in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference.

“It’s been a hard and long process,” Streitmatter said about her decision. “Mitchell was one of the first schools I toured last year, and I loved it. I love knowing people believe in me and what I can do on the court. Two years ago, I didn’t see myself playing in college or even for the rest of high school, but once I started to push myself and see how much more I could grow, I regained my love for the sport.”

The all-star game, which returned this year following a four-year absence because of Covid, was created by Al Faria, a 1961 Barnstable High School graduate and longtime official. The first girls’ game was held in 1985; the boys’ debut came in 1987.

Since 1989, the games have the current format, pitting the best players from the Upper Cape against those from the Lower Cape.

The teams of 15 players are selected by Faria from a list compiled by athletic directors and head coaches, with at least one player from each school.

The Nauset girls missed out on the playoffs this season, ending with a 7-13 mark.

“We played way better than we did last year,” Streitmatter said of the Warriors’ season. “Obviously, we didn’t accomplish what we wanted, but I’m happy overall with how we played.”

Junior Joey Berardi was selected for the Lower Cape boys team but was unable to participate.

The Nauset Warriors Booster Club, meanwhile, will be hosting its 7th annual Evening for Champions at the Pelham House on Saturday, March 23 from 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $75 and can be purchased at nausetboosters.com. The event supports Nauset student athletes with live and silent auctions and team baskets.

EASTHAM — They fly through the air, legs and arms circling to propel their bodies forward, and in an instant they thud into the sand.

“The long jump is one of the most technically challenging events in track and field, as you need to have everything you do from stepping onto the runway to exiting the pit down to a science,” says Nauset High senior long jumper Paytah Dill, who lives in Bourne.

“The margin for error in long jump is nonexistent,” he says. “If you mess up even the smallest thing, like lengthening your first step by half an inch, it most likely results in a foul. If you don’t stand up straight for the latter half of your run-up, you’ll lose feet of distance.”

At the end of the long jump runway is a takeoff board marked with a foul line. The toe of the jumper’s shoe must be behind the foul line when the foot leaves the board.

The distance jumped is measured from the edge of the takeoff board to the closest indentation made by any part of the athlete’s body landing in the sand.

Jumpers calculate every step down to the stride length and explode in a final step with all the force they can muster. And there’s more that must be remembered to be effective: seamlessly cycle your arms and legs, keep your chest high, fold in at the right time. The price for messing one thing up? A wasted jump.

Dill is determined to have very few wasted jumps. During the outdoor track season in his junior year, he didn’t know if he would ever have that sensation of flying through the air again. After each race — in addition to jumping he runs the 55-meter hurdles, both as an individual and with the relay team — he threw up violently and experienced horrible pain. He spent five days at Mass. General Hospital with a top nephrologist on his case. He wondered if he would ever compete again. He was found to have a kidney anomaly.

“I continue to do checkups,” says Dill, “but I know that every time I compete, I run the risk of a relapse.” This year he broke the Nauset long jump record at the Division 4 State Championship with a jump of 20 feet, 7¾ inches. The old record was 20 feet, 3¾ inches. He was also crowned Cape and Islands long jump champion.

“There have been times throughout the winter season when I have had to take a step back,” he says. “Knowing that competing could result in another episode makes it much more meaningful and significant, as I now know that every jump could be my last.”

Long jumpers all want every jump to be better than the last.

“My goal is to jump 17 feet by the end of my sophomore year,” says Violet Roche, who lives in Orleans. Her current personal record is 16 feet, 10 inches, two inches shy of her target. “That pushes me to want to jump farther and put the work and practice in — that and seeing others jump far makes you want to go jump even further,” says Roche.

Her coach stretches her arms in preparation. Having loose arms helps her fling herself forward.

Roche and Dill both use deep breathing to focus on what they need to do to have a successful jump. “I prioritize it,” says Dill. “With each breath, the entire world around me quickly fades away — it’s just me and the runway — and I almost black out because I am so locked into what I am doing.”

Dill has practiced deep breathing since freshman year, and it’s become instinctual.

“The mental aspect of jumping is huge,” says Roche, who is also a standout in the high jump. She reached the Meet of Champions in that event and was the Cape and Islands champion with a jump of 5 feet, 2 inches. “I struggled with fouling this season, so focusing on getting a jump on the board is big for me,” she says.

There’s something fanatical about long jumpers. They become obsessed with tiny details, and they are driven by the desire to go one inch farther. There’s always something more.

“Everyone had to listen to me every day say over and over that I was going to break the record and that I’m going to qualify for the next and bigger meet,” says Dill. “The record was a foot longer than my longest jump, but every part of me believed that I would break it. There was no other choice.”

EASTHAM — The Nauset boys hockey team cemented its position at the top of MIAA Division 3 with home victories over highly ranked Nantucket and Scituate before shutting out Monomoy on Senior Night.

The Warriors avenged their lone defeat of the season, at Nantucket on Dec. 13, with an emphatic 6-2 win over the Whalers on Thursday, scoring 5 straight third-period goals to wipe out a 2-1 deficit. Nauset trailed at both intermissions. Six different players scored, with sophomore Logan Miller recording the goal that put Nauset ahead with 10 minutes to play.

Nauset then held off second-ranked Scituate in a 4-3 win on Saturday. The Warriors let a 3-0 lead slip away, with the Sailors drawing even on a power play at the 6:26 mark of the third period. But the Warriors regrouped and killed off a penalty before freshman Sam Mayhew tallied his second goal of the game to break the deadlock with 2:08 remaining. Mayhew tipped Logan Poulin’s shot in from the blue line for a power-play goal.

Nauset improved to 17-1-1 on the season with a 6-0 shutout of Monomoy on Monday. After a scoreless first period, senior Cam Connery, who had a goal and an assist, and freshman Brody Bassett both scored to give the Warriors a 2-0 lead, and they never looked back. Poulin and sophomore Zach Weiner both had a goal and an assist, while seniors Joe McManus and Aaron Howard each record a goal.

The Warriors were scheduled to play Plymouth North on Wednesday.

Nauset-Monomoy girls hockey rebounded from a loss that ended their 15-game unbeaten streak with a lopsided 5-1 win over Martha’s Vineyard on Saturday at Charles Moore Arena. Sophomore Gaby Bassett scored twice for the Warriors.

Kaser, Michaud, Hardwicke, and junior Isabel Colella finished 11th in the girls 200-yard freestyle.

Boys basketball earned a hard-fought victory over Falmouth on Senior Night Friday at Nauset Regional Middle School. The Warriors, who trailed by 2 points at halftime, overcame a 10-point first-quarter deficit and outscored the Clippers 49-28 over the final three periods.
