Scarborough Board recognizes fall teams for wins and community service
Summary
Coaches and student athletes were recognized for fall seasons across multiple sports: boys soccer (18–0), volleyball (13–1), field hockey (9–5–1), golf (10–0) and cross country successes; multiple teams also raised funds and volunteered in community events.
The Scarborough Board of Education opened its Dec. 4 meeting by honoring the high school’s fall athletics programs.
Coaches from field hockey, golf, cross country, volleyball, football, boys soccer, and unified programs described season records and community engagement. Varsity field hockey coach Kyla Wigant (speaker 5) told the board, “This fall, our varsity field hockey team finished the season with a 9‑5‑1 record,” and reflected on lessons in perseverance and sportsmanship. Golf coach (speaker 6) reported a 10‑0 regular season and near‑misses at the state championship. Boys soccer was noted for an 18‑0 season and conference/regional championships (speaker 14).
Volleyball coach Nicole Patherbridge (speaker 11) highlighted a 13‑1 regular season, a successful Dig Pink fundraiser that raised more than $2,000 for the Side Out Foundation and volunteer projects including making blankets for Project Linus. Several coaches emphasized student academic honors and community service activities such as marathon water stops and cancer‑awareness events.
Board members praised the teams’ commitment to sportsmanship and character. The chair said the sportsmanship award won by the football program was especially meaningful because it is peer‑voted: “I think… that you won that is an incredible honor,” the chair said.
The recognitions highlighted both athletic achievement and extracurricular contributions; the board thanked coaches, volunteers and administration for supporting student experiences on and off the field.
