Senior Project
Hey guys,
So some of you may know what my senior project is, but many of you may not. So I am going to give you the run-down of what my chaos of a project is, in a list that is much neater than anything I have right now.
1) I will be maintaining this blog, the Twitter page (Link: https://twitter.com/StudentFHSports), and Facebook page (Link: https://www.facebook.com/FHStudentAthletics/) as well as the season stats and standing
2) I will be attending various games and writing articles for the Falcon Outlet
3) I will be trying to develop some community interest into the school athletics through the promotion of games and events
4) I will be shadowing multiple sports journalists and broadcasters as well as the radio team of the Seadogs throughout the project.
Now I will be very busy with my project, as the elements I just listed are all very broad, and many are time consuming. If I am not at a game, and you know the result, please email me the result at my school email listed below. There are other aspects in my project that have not been finalized yet, and are still in the works. Also, any photos you take that you want posted can be sent to me. I can post them on the facebook page with any photos I take at games I am at to build a large collection of spring athletics photos.
If you guys have any tips, photos, results or anything, don't hesitate to contact me at:

Thanks!

Time for Spring?
Hey guys,
I am already preparing my stats sheets for the spring season. I love finding out that I never cleared last years lacrosse stats. I will use those for preseason. Winter sports are over so now it's time for spring sports. Logic at its finest. When one sports season ends, another their starts.

I am sorry for the inactivity as of late. Senior year has been super busy for me. I will get everything going again by the end of midterms, at the latest.

Regular Season Wrap-up and Field Hockey Playoffs
Hey guys!!!
How's it goin!?!? So I meant to do this sooner, but I had some family issues come up, so my apologies to everyone for that. But my oh my, what a end to the regular season this has been shaping up to be. Shaping up to be??? I meant already has been!
Field Hockey- My word, the last week of the regular season saw the standings pinballing like crazy. And it played out that Freeport ended up in the 9th spot, having to travel to G/NG last Saturday for their preliminary game, after it appeared that Freeport would get to host the game just one night before. (I will break the game down in a separate post.) The end to this regular season is one you only get in the heal point system.
Boys Soccer- Well, it was bumpy at first, but Boys soccer seems to be set up for a playoff berth. So where will they land. At this point Freeport is in 10th. By the end of everything though, Freeport could be anywhere from 7th-10th. So at this point, tomorrow is the difference between hosting a game, or going on a trip to play a game in the preliminary round on Saturday. My biggest concern with this squad, is just the inconsistency that has been there all year. You have seen times where this team looked like it was good enough to compete with the powerhouses of the league, and you have seen moments where it looked like playoffs would be highly unlikely. If a deep run in the playoffs is to happen, Freeport will need to be its absolute best, especially with senior Jack Davenport, who found a way to make an impact all over the field, now out for the year.
Girls Soccer- This has been a disappointing year for this team. Now out of the playoff hunt unless something happens that I don't see right now, the girls hold the 14th spot, two spots out of the playoffs, and a little over 21 points behind. Injuries have been the story of the year for this team. From their starting goalie to their defense to, well, everything. Nothing on this team was safe, and the soccer gods seemed to decide that Freeport was just not going to get into the playoffs, no matter what happened. It is unfortunate for the 9 seniors on this team, who don't have another chance to make a playoff run in high school soccer, but they have the Senior Game on Tuesday, to try and win their final High School Soccer game, before Freeport turns and looks to next year, and the young talent that they have waiting to step up.
Football- Going to be perfectly honest, things have been rough for this young program. I don't know a lot about it, don't get to see it play very often, and only know a few players, but they just have not had a real chance to compete with larger teams yet. The program needs to mature and get more support behind it, and more players involved. Until then, the team could put everything they possibly could into it, but still struggle.

Field Hockey Midseason review
Seniors: Morgan Karnes (GK), Bailey Karnes (M), Lexi Peacock (M), Kendra Harrison (D)
This team, which is trying to carry the momentum from last year, when the Field Hockey team made it into the Regional Quarterfinals, can’t get much younger. With only four seniors, and three juniors, the lack of experience is a concern as they push into the heart of the season. After being ranked in multiple polls at the beginning of the year, the girls got off to a great start, dominating Cape Elizabeth 6-0. But the momentum from the home opener vanished quickly, as the team dropped a couple in a row. Now, the girls sit in a tie for the last playoff spot (as long as my calculations are correct, with a 2-4-0 record. Even with the extremely young and inexperienced core, senior and captain Morgan Karnes (goalie) feels it can only get better as the season goes on.
“I think these struggles we've seen could be partly blamed on inexperience, however they are how we learn and we will definitely grow after going through this,” Morgan says. “I think that despite our team lacking experience, we have the skill to compete with any team. We have seen the importance of putting in 110% effort all the time and the consequences of not doing that.”
The youth of this team is extremely suspect. But the team is confident and confidence is huge. Even with some big pieces graduating after last year, the players feel that they can make a splash this year. And they may have the depth to do it, even if they don’t look like much on their starting roster.

Girls soccer mid-season review
Seniors: Izzy Qualls (GK), Jemayla Nelsonwood (M), Brittany Mann (D), Madi McCallum (D), Samantha Jordan (F), Courtney Broderick (D), Lindsay Cartmell (M), Maddie Squibb (M), Brooklyn Washburn (D)
Nothing has come easy for this Girls soccer program. Last year, they missed playoffs by a few points. And this year, which started with so much excitement and hope, has started off as rough as it could possibly get. At one point they had as many as five starters out with injury. Entering tomorrow's game at Gray/New Gloucester, the girls find themselves at an underwhelming 1-3-0 record, in the last postseason spot. Oh, and did I mention that the only varsity goalie that the girls have, Senior Izzy Qualls, is still out with a concussion? Senior Lindsay Cartmell, marked on the roster as a midfielder, is filling in as the goalie until Izzy comes back. Even with all this hardship, Lindsey stays confident that the team can make a splash.
“I think we have a lot of potential which was shown the other day against Yarmouth.” Lindsay says. The Yarmouth game she mentioned was a 3-0 loss on Tuesday Night, where two teams dueled it out and were scoreless through most of the first half. Freeport showed great discipline and fought for the entire game, making the game a lot closer than the score may appear, against arguably one of the best programs in the state. She also points to the hard work the players have been putting in to get a better understanding of the sport, and the determination that the players have been playing with. It is clear that even with the rough start, these players have one thing on their mind. To get better, and to put together a season to remember.
