Sturgis Falls to Dover-Sherborn, 3-0

The Sturgis boys varsity soccer team lost 3-0 Saturday night in the State Tournament to Dover-Sherborn. Max Young made several excellent saves and Matt French played with a lot of heart and passion all game; but in the end, a deeper, more talented D-S team earned the win.

It marked the final career soccer game for Jason Peterson and Nick Cataldo, who both gave excellent efforts Saturday night.

The Boys finish 7-7-3 on the season, and are looking ahead to a fantastic year next year!

Sturgis' No. 1 Golfer Kozlowski Finishes Strong

With the golf season coming to a close, sophomore Alex Kozlowski made the most of his two postseason opportunities with drastic improvements over last years results. On Friday he led the Sturgis contingent at the Cape and islands Schoolboy Classic, which included senior Ben Porter and senior Chandler Mitchell, with a 27 hole total of 132 at Bayberry Hills Golf Course.

Faced with cold weather and a constant wind he gutted out a 93 in the morning, and managed to card one of only 6 rounds in the 30s with a 39 in the afternoon. With his strong finish Alex finished in a tie for 22nd within a field of over 40 of the Cape and Island's top players (Division 1, 2, & 3).

On Monday a tough 47 on the front was turned around quickly with a fantastic 38 on the back nine to finish with a stellar 85 and a tie for 18th out of 63 players at the State Sectionals. Out of all the present Cape and Islands players Alex finished an impressive 6th, only 4 shots behind the low score. With two years of high school golf left to hone his skills these last two impressive rounds should pave the way for a very successful season in 2010.

From today's Cape Cod Time:

CCA 1, Sturgis 1

OSTERVILLE –The Storm's Max Young and Cape Cod Academy's Charlie Lonergan both proved to be brick walls, allowing just one goal each in a Lighthouse Conference draw.

Young allowed a Tyler DeWaltoff goal eight minutes into the match, with DeWaltoff's goal coming off a pass from Andrew Bennie. Young then held the Seahawks (4-3-1) at bay the rest of the way.

Sturgis (3-3-2) did not break through on Lonergan until the first minute of the second half, with Zack Crockford scoring an unassisted goal.

The Seahawks got strong play from Tom Olson while Brandon Kinsey was key for the Storm.
