He covered the course in 14 minutes, 30 seconds, just two seconds faster than runner-up James Underwood of Woodstock.

\n -The Bellows Falls Terriers' girls' basketball team has had a great season so far, but they got tested on Jan. 30 when the Brattleboro Bears visited Holland Gymnasium. The Bears' dynamic backcourt of juniors Reese Croutworst and Abigail Henry finished with 26 and 16 points, respectively, as the Bears rolled to a 57-18 victory over the Terriers. In the first quarter, Croutworst (16 points) and Henry (eight points) were particularly effective during a 26-0 run that gave Brattleboro a 26-4...\n <\/p>\n

\n -The Brattleboro nordic ski team had its first home meet of the season on Jan. 24 at the Marlboro Ski Club. Thanks to about 8 inches of snow on Jan. 19 and some of the coldest weather of the winter thus far, the course was in excellent shape for the Southern Vermont League (SVL) classic race. Woodstock was the boys' team winner with 19 points. Mount Anthony was second with 37 points, followed by Brattleboro with 42, Rutland with 57,\n <\/p>\n

\n -The team motto on the back of the warm-up shirts worn by the Brattleboro girls' basketball team is "Choose Your Hard." The Bears have seen plenty of hard so far in the season as they have struggled against the best teams in the state. The effort is there, particularly on defense, but the offense still needs some work. An example of this was the Bears' 41-33 loss to Rutland at the BUHS gym on Jan. 18. Rutland took a 13-3...\n <\/p>\n
