BASEBALL
The Princeton Academy baseball team had a solid season this year, following last year’s success. The team was led by a strong group of 8th graders, who played the game right and set a great example for the other players. When the baseball team played fundamental baseball they were able to compete with any team. With a starting lineup consisting of two 5th graders, three 6th graders, and two 7th graders, the team is built for the future. Coach Clewell and Coach Geraci enjoyed watching this team learn and grow throughout the season and are looking forward to next season.


LACROSSE
The Princeton Academy lacrosse team just concluded the best season in school history. The team earned a 7-2 record. After graduating ten 8th graders last year, the young players stepped up to fill the shoes of those who left. The team was a nice blend of young talent and older leadership. Coach Stevens was thrilled with the way the players worked together on the field. This was the most talented lacrosse team that he has ever coached. Coach Ferrante said that this team had a well-balanced offense, a sturdy defense, and a feisty goalie. The team lost only twice by a combined difference of three goals. The team was able to beat its rivals to post the excellent record. The players should be proud of everything they accomplished this year. The lacrosse team will miss the graduating 8th graders, but have the talent to excel next year as well.

TENNIS
The Princeton Academy tennis team made great progress this year. With strong leadership from our 8th graders, this team learned to work hard and enjoy the game no matter what the outcome. Every match provided an opportunity to learn, and each player made major strides in at least one area. Our serving improved, our ground strokes became more consistent, and we learned how to work together as doubles partners. Coach Trowbridge looks forward to next year's returning squad, and hopes the team is able to pick up where it left off this year. Thank you to the 8th graders: Xander O'Grady, Arsh Tandon, Nick Fenton, Alex Snyder, and Alex Swan.
