HS Stories to Watch This Fall

The long wait is finally over as Thursday marked the first day of practice for non-football sports and first day of hitting for the folks on the gridiron. There are hundreds of interesting storylines to watch going into this fall. Here are just a few of them:

1) Northampton football goes old school
The Blue Devils are going back to their roots with the triple option offense. Coach Ken O'Brien said the roster, which returns a strong offensive line, was best suited for the hard-nosed system. Northampton turned around an 0-7 start last season with three wins to end the year. Will the Blue Devils be able to keep that momentum going despite a brutal early schedule?

2) Derek Shea takes over Amherst boys soccer
Shea, the former girls varsity coach and long-time Western United Club coach (along with numerous other town teams) replaces Rich Eckart and hopes to continue the program's upward move toward the very top of western Mass. soccer.

3) No. 6 for Frontier volleyball?
The Red Hawks return their three Gazette first-team all-stars from last year in Holly Dewitt, Kenda Ouimette and Cassidy Stankowski after winning their fifth-straight western Mass. title. At this point, why would you doubt them?

4) Quianna Diaz-Patterson's return
The Amherst super senior was one of the area's top underclassman field hockey players as a sophomore two years ago, but she sat out last season to focus on softball. Now that her future is settled (she'll play for Elaine Sortino at UMass in 2011), she's reportedly headed back to the field hockey field for one final season for a team loaded with seniors. The squad won just three games last year. That's not going to happen this year.

5) Can Amherst girls keep streak alive?
The Hurricanes cross country team extended its duel meet winning streak into triple digits last year and then won its 15th straight western Mass. title. Amherst must replace graduated seniors Leah Haake and Chloe Zimmerman but, as with Frontier volleyball, at this point why would you doubt them?

6) Wickles' last season
Even before this year, Smith Academy senior field hockey standout Sarah Wickles has already had an incredible career. She's been a member of western Mass. champions as a freshman and junior and has totalled a terrific 70 goals and 20 assists for her career.

7) Battle for D3/Pioneer League Supremacy
The Gateway and Granby girls basketball teams went toe-to-toe last year in Pioneer League and then faced off in the Western Mass. finals. Both teams return strong cores and should be contenders for both again this year. They open the season against each other on Sept. 7 at 6 p.m. in Huntington.

8) Ian Lutz is back
The Northampton senior runner won both the PVIAC and Western Mass. meets last year and looks to go back-to-back.
