On Tuesday, October 3rd the Regals’ Flag Football team defeated Lockerby 10-1 to make it 25 consecutive wins dating back to their first game of the 2014 season. Marymount has won the past 6 consecutive Division I City Championships and with the way the standings are shaping up it looks like there could be another marquee matchup in a final between Marymount and Confederation, and a chance at a 7th straight title. Only time will tell. Coaches Dan Bartolucci, Jason Weiler, Tori Jewell, and Julia Boschetto couldn’t be happier with the start to this season. “We have a lot of new players in starting roles on this year’s team and quite a few players who are learning the game for the first time so we have relied heavily on some of the more experienced players to help out with teaching the game and they have stepped up big time.” Bartolucci stated that the mentorship and sisterhood that occurs on the football field is very different than most other sports. He credits this as being the best part of the game. “Watching veteran standout players like Cassidy Burton on offense or Tyana Soucy on defense lead by example is fantastic for fans of football, and we love to watch them in action but we have the luxury of watching these girls practice and teach other members of the team how it’s done. It’s incredible to watch!” Last year Marymount was awarded “Team of the Decade” at the House of Kin Sudbury Sports Hall of Fame dinner. Since their run began in 2011, the flag football team hosts a record of 42-5 with only two losses occurring since 2013. The Regals are back in action Monday, Oct. 16th vs. Lively!

Allison Byrnes – High School Female Athlete of the Year

This was the second year in a row that Allison was nominated for the High School Female Athlete of the Year. She’s a two-time Marymount Senior Athlete of the Year and was selected among three of her peers from area schools around Sudbury as the top female high school athlete in the city. Allison was the offensive MVP of the flag football team and the MVP for the soccer team. She also attended OFSAA for track and field and was a key player for the Senior Volleyball team and the Badminton team. Allison is heading to Carleton University next year to study Forensic Psychology and is considering trying out for the Varsity Girls’ Soccer team.

Flag Football Team – High School Team of the Decade (Inaugural Award)

The Flag Football team was nominated for the first time as “High School Team of the Year” after their impressive undefeated season once again this year. What the team didn’t realize is that there was something else in store for the them. The awards committee decided that this was the year to start a new award called the “High School Team of the Decade,” and with their current string of six consecutive city championships, there was no better recipient than our very own Regals Flag Football Team. The Chairman and creator of the Sudbury Sports Hall of Fame made the presentation and extended his congratulations on this incredible run. Team Members Kayla Yitts, Tyanna Soucy, Jade Davies, Cassidy Burton, Allison Byrnes, and coaches Julia Boschetto, Tori Jewell, and Dan Bartolucci were on hand to receive the award.
