COMMUNITY SPORTS
More Rutland Rec soccer was played this past Saturday and a couple
of updates were submitted. The 3/4th grade Proctor girls maroon got
the best of Killington. Coach Cindy McKearin was able to rotate her
substitutions to where the girls got to play offense and defense.
It was a good strategy putting in fresh legs on offense and making
it possible for each member of the team to score. Among those who
scored were Madison Lee and Victoria George. Coach McKearin said
the teamwork and passing were exceptional.
The 3/4th grade Proctor girls white also was victorious winning
over the Rutland Rec Labs 5-3. Goals were scored by Allison Almond,
Madelynn Flanders and Hannah Anderson. Miranda Martin and Emelia
Tooley made several key saves in the goal.

The victories kept coming Saturday as the 3/4th grade boys beat
Mill River 5-3. Zach Yarosz, Solomon Parker and Matthew Anderson
each scored a goal and Conner McKearin added 2 more. Caleb
Stuhlmueller hit a line drive towards the goal but it just went
wide. The team played very well together.
Bottle drives and bazaars
The 6th grade class and their parents have gotten their
fundraising underway in preparation of their spring trip. Start
saving your returnables as they are holding a Bottle Drive on
Saturday, October 29 from 9 a.m. - noon. Home base will be the PES
parking lot.
The holiday is vast approaching so start thinking about the Union
Church of Proctor's holiday bazaar on November 5. It will be held
from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Union Church parish house.
