Sabrina Nuttall had one of her best swims of the high school season at the Rhode Island Girls Swimming Championships a little over one month ago and since then the freshman from South Kingstown hasn’t slowed down.
Prout goalkeeper Austin Gemma played about as well as anyone could expect a freshman to in game two of Saturday’s best-of-three Division II Boys Ice Hockey Championship series between the Crusaders and Lincoln.
Unfortunately for Gemma and his Crusader teammates hockey – like most sports – can be fickle.
Circumstance is an essential part of evaluation.
All one has to do to understand that is to look at the University of Rhode Island men’s basketball team this season.
The Rams finished 8-21 overall (3-13 Atlantic 10) and of their 21 losses 15 were by single digits, yet this was a pretty good year for URI.
It took the University of Rhode Island baseball team nine tries before it finally won a game this season.
If the Rams are able to do anything special this season it will be a result of those nine games.
Off the court Prout girls basketball coach Phil Quinn and his step-daughter Brittany Donovan have gotten along ever since they entered each other’s lives.
“We’re really close,” Donovan says. “He came into my life when I was in eighth grade and he was an amazing coach and it’s going to be really hard next year without them. Off the court he’s an amazing dad so I couldn’t have asked for anything better.”
As far as defensive performances in a loss go you’d be hard pressed to find a better effort than that of the Prout boys hockey team’s Saturday.
The Crusaders may have fallen short – dropping a 3-2 overtime decision in game two – of winning the Division II Championship this winter but it wasn’t a result of lack of effort.
It was quite a weekend for Chariho graduate Derek Adams.
Adams, a sophomore wrestler at Springfield College, secured himself a spot as an All-American thanks to his fourth place finish in the 133-pound weight class at the 2013 NCAA Division III Championships this past weekend at Cedar Rapids Ice Arena in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

When the Narragansett and East Greenwich girls basketball teams played one week ago the stakes were high.
Now, they’re even higher.
Last Thursday the Mariners handed the Avengers an eight point loss to win the Division II-South regular season title.
