State tournament is within reach
The pitching as well as the hitting improved substantially for the
Weston High varsity baseball team after a rough start to the week,
The Trojans, who fell 9-0 to Pomperaug last Wednesday, April 30, wasted
no time in turning their game around in wins over Bethel (3-1) and New
Milford (5-1). They are now one win away from qualifying for the state
tournament.
After two days of steady rain Weston was eager to take the field. Unfortunately, the results were not pretty.
Weston pitcher Mike Berliner was rocked for the first time this season
as he surrendered four runs in four innings, giving up six hits and
walking three. Kyle Zembsch came in relief during

Wildcats hold off Trojans
by Rocco Paul Valluzzo

A late-inning rally nearly did it for the Weston High varsity baseball team against Bethel.
The Trojans were down four runs going into their last at bat but then
began to come to life. After cutting the deficit in half they were a
good hit from tying it up before host Bethel got out of the jam with a
4-2 win instead last Friday, May 2, at Freebairn Field.
“I’m happy with their performance,” said Weston head coach Dave
Lustberg, noting his team’s pitching and defense. “We played one of our
best games of the season.”

Losses are closest in years
by Rocco Paul Valluzzo

A few inches here and a few seconds there could have made the
difference for the Weston High boys track team against not one but two
opponents last week.
It was that close when the Trojans traveled to Southbury to take on
Pomperaug Thursday, May 1. When all the points were totaled, the
Trojans were two points behind not one but two opponents, losing to the
hosts 76-74 as well as to Newtown by the same score in what was the
closest regular-season meet in recent years.

Newtown, Pomperaug fall
by Jaclyn Roth
It seems the main challenge for the Weston High girls tennis team this season has been finding a challenging opponent.
The undefeated Trojans have not only made short work of every team they
have faced, they have done it decisively, even against some of the
better teams in the South-West Conference.
The latest to fall victim were Pomperaug and Newtown, two SWC finalists
in recent seasons. The Trojans were still dominant, beating the former
7-0 last Wednesday, April 30, and the latter 6-1 the next day.

Trojans take two from Bobcats
by Brian Brennan
It was a week of positives for the Weston High varsity baseball team,
which found itself almost back to a .500 winning percentage. Despite
losing to Bunnell to start the week Weston followed with back-to-back
wins over Brookfield.
Last Monday, April 21, the Trojans visited Bunnell and were on the
board in the first when Jesse Nusbaum hit a ground rule double and was
singled in by Sam Armstrong for a 1-0 lead. Neither team scored again
until the bottom of the third, when Jamie Monn scored Nusbaum with a
fielder’s choice. Later in the inning Kyle Zembsch doubled to score
Mann, and it looked like Weston was headed for a shocking win with a
3-0 run lead intact.

Winning streak reaches six matches
by Jaclyn Roth
The Weston girls tennis team continues to be on a roll.
After a week off because of school break the Trojans resumed their
schedule with two matches last week. Both opponents offered little
resistance as the Trojans swept New Milford on Wednesday, April 23, and
did likewise to Masuk the next day by identical 7-0 scores
Weston first singles player Marie Gargiulo nearly swept the Green
Wave’s Larissa Baker, winning easily 6-0, 6-1. Katie Gross did not have
it too hard in the No. 2 spot before getting a 6-0, 6-3 win from
Kristina Spencer. Posting a similar score in the No. 3 spot, Kate Cohen
won 6-0, 6-2 over Katie Niels.
The closest match was in the No. 4 singles spot. Laura Jaffee split

After only a few events the Weston High girls track team would leave the competition behind in its meet last week.
Hosting Masuk on Monday, April 21, the Trojans battled their opponent
early in the meet. As they moved into the middle distance competition
and beyond the Trojans had plenty of talent left over for the rest of
the meet, winning 106-44.
Weston did not get much resistance from Lauralton Hall and Immaculate,
who were also on hand for the meet, overpowering the former 136-6 and
the latter 124-21.

Low rounds make it easy

When the competition gets more intense there is no doubt that the
Weston High boys golf team would like a round similar to the one they
had against Notre Dame of Fairfield last week.
The Trojans had three golfers shoot under 40. Most of the competition
was within their own ranks as they were far ahead of their opponent in
a 156-226 win on Wednesday, April 23, at the Connecticut Golf Club in
Easton.
“The younger guys have really stepped it up,” said Weston coach Al
Gurney, noting the improvement among the first-year starting players.
“They’re making us a really good team.”
A case in point was freshman Joe D’Amato. Shooting a one-over-par 37, he was medalist for the match.
Two of his teammates were not far behind. One stroke later was Taylor
Navin with a 38, who was also a stroke ahead of Bernie

Newtown, Masuk creep back in time
Only a week after losing two-heartbreaking games the Weston High
varsity baseball team would yet again feel the pain of a close, tough
loss, this one at Newtown on Monday, April 14.
The Trojans scored early with a first-inning run on a wild pitch, and
then an error allowed another run to come home for a quick 2-0 lead.
While Newtown would get a run back in the bottom of the first, it had
trouble getting anything going offensively because Weston pitcher Mike
Berliner was rolling along.
