Cup-tastic!
THE 5TH- AND 6TH-grade team from Starksboro last month won the 5 Town Cup in a tournament that included six teams. The Oct. 14 tourney played on the Bristol Rec Fields saw three teams from Bristol and one team each from Starksboro, Lincoln and Monkton play a game against each of the competitors. The players from Starksboro were undefeated. Celebrating their victory are Starksboro kids, from left, front row, Jacob Russin and Carson Shepard (holding the trophy); middle row, Mason Johnson, Miles Hamilton, Wylie Shepard, Jase Johnson, Elyjah Purinton and Willow Chaplin; and, back row, Keegan Sawyer. Missing from the picture are coach Tyler Johnson and player Caleb Fraser. Congratulations, all!
