Varsity News

Varsity Lacrosse

The Bears beat major powerhouses and rivals Gilman 11-4 then Gonzaga 7-6 in one of the most exciting, well played HS games in the DMV or anywhere.








Then they met Bear alumni- coached, Alex Cade ( a story about this ’94 graduate) Coronado 9-4. The challenges continue with a Tuesday game against the #1 West team (Inside Lacrosse) , St. Ignatius Tuesday at Bordley Stadium at 4:30pm. Then on Friday, Georgetown Prep will come inside the White Rocks; nothing else needs to be said!

Varsity Hockey

Many Bears play the Landon Varsity schedule and then contribute to an outside high level team. Alex Norwinski, an ALL IAC defenseman, also plays for the Ashburn Xtreme as a winger and they won the Tier II U18 National Championship. Here’s a picture of Alex and his proud Dad, Derek with the team’s trophy:

Thanks to Andy Luther, additional Bears are being tracked.

Jack Falvey (2011), Amherst, the Lord Jeffs are 10-6. Jack, who wrote BSN posts about the Varsity basketball games during his senior year at Landon, has not been able to play yet.

Kyle Colgain (2011), Denison, the team went 1-2, but Kyle did not pitch.

Ian Kelso (2011) Washington University Bears pitcher, pitched 1 2/3rds of an inning and did not give up a run in a loss. Then he pitched a scoreless inning in a 4-2 win. The team went 3 and 2 for the week. The senior has a 2.57 ERA.

Jay Graham (2011) Dartmouth Big Green Infielder and reliever; the team was 2-2 since the last Sunday Edition and Jay gets an At Bat.

Max Kra (2012), Bucknell Bisons, reliever: the team went 1-3 with Max pitching 2 and 1/3rd of innings in loss against Navy.

Sean P. O’Brien (2014), Macalester College pitcher. Sean had a rough outing against St. Thomas; the opponent obviously had a lethal batting line-up (scored 32 runs in 2 games against the Scots). The team went 0-4 for the week

Alexander Moffett (2014), Sewanee, the Tigers are9-17. The lefthander is 2-4 in 14 appearances and has a 5.56 ERA. He has struck out 30 batters

Bear Tennis Trax

Alex Reinke (2014), Southern Methodist University, the Mustangs went 0-2.

Bear Golf Trax

Brent Bubes (2014), Maryland, the Terps must be on Spring break, but oddly not down in FLA.

Ralph Blasey (2014), Davidson golf, has played in all of the Wildcats seven tournaments.

Bear Track Trax

Oliver Hightower (2014), Kenyon Lords.  The only reported results for the Lords at Marv Frye Invitational were for the women.

Mac Hightower, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps’Stags. The team participated in the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational, but no results for Mac were posted in either the 400 or 800 races

Deion Wellington, Coastal Carolina’s Chanticleers competed at the Auburn Tiger Track Classic but the results did not include Deion.

(2014)


but I must admit that I cannot find Jordan anywhere in the results.
