By RACHEL COOK | November 15, 2013

Fighting hard to win throughout the entire game, the Hopkins field hockey team fell just short, losing to The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) with a score of 4-2.

Ground game continues to excel for Blue Jays

By PAT TRACZYKIEWICZ | November 15, 2013

It’s no secret that the Hopkins Football team has a potent offense that can score at will. This past Saturday, the Gettysburg College Bullets found this out the hard way. The Blue Jays tallied up 574 total yards of offense and won their seventh game of the season by a final score of 34-16. The Jays set a school record with five straight games of 500 or more yards of offense. “I honestly didn't know we accumulated that many yards in the last five games, but it certainly boosts our confidence as an offense and strengthens our trust for the game plan,” Senior  lineman Bonaddio. “We've been able to build a strong relationship with the coaching staff while also giving extra carries to various young backs, specifically sophomore Brandon Cherry and freshman Stuart Walters, who have been playing great. We've had great support from the receivers along with solid, consistent play from Robbie (Matey). Truthfully, we don't dwell on stats but focus on our next game and prepare to be the best we can be, locking in specifically for practice on Tuesday. On a side note, one of the biggest reasons we have had success this year is the hard work put in by our look team, coming out to practice day in and day out willing to do whatever it takes.”

Fall Classic preview: Sox-Cards meet again

By COLIN FRIEDMAN | October 24, 2013

Last night was the start of the 2013 World Series, so I thought it would be fun to run through a World Series preview. The matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox is a rematch of the 2004 World Series. Remember, this is when the Red Sox broke their infamous curse, winning their first World Series since the departure of Babe Ruth. Boston swept the series 4-0, but luckily for the Cardinals, it is 2013 and two completely different teams are taking the field.

By JASON PLUSH | October 17, 2013

After an exciting three weeks of preseason, the National Hockey League (NHL) has entered the beginning portion of regular season play. Throughout the first two weeks, several analyst’s predictions have come true: the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks have done incredibly well thus far; the Western Conference looks very formidable and the two Stanley cup finalists in Chicago and Boston have continued their winning ways. However, there have been numerous teams currently in the top 10 that have shocked and surprised even the most diehard of hockey fans, players and coaches. With two regular season weeks already concluded, it is time to rank and evaluate the top contenders thus far:

Princeton, Bucknell get best of Blue Jays

By MITCH WEAVER | October 17, 2013

Over the weekend, the Jays faced off against two marquee programs: 12th ranked Princeton as well as Bucknell. Game one was against the Tigers from Princeton, and from the start of the first whistle the Tigers were in control.

NBA Predictions: Will the Heat three-peat?

By RACHEL COOK | October 17, 2013

Is this season a guaranteed three-peat for the big three in Miami, or is the long awaited return of D-Rose enough for Chicago to diffuse the Heat? Or could this be the year for the Western Conference with the always-competitive Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder or the year for the LA Clippers led by championship caliber head coach Doc Rivers? The NBA experienced rather strange moves in the offseason; some were advantageous while others left fans questioning owners and GMs. Now that training camp is over and the league is a week deep into the preseason, there is a better understanding of where exactly teams land in their respective division rankings.
