I have included an article from the Gaithersburg Gazette about some of


the QO teams so that I can show off some of my paragraph formatting
skills. The article was written by James Peters a Staff Writer for the
Gazette and was published on Wednesday, September 13, 2006. The
title of the article was “New season, same results for QO: Field hockey
team starts strong against rugged schedule.”

The Quince Orchard High field hockey team experienced a serious case

of déjà vu in its first three games.

Like a year ago, the Cougars


opened the season with a 1-0
victory over Bethesda-Chevy Chase
(1-1) last week behind a goal from
Colleen Childs and 12 saves from
goalkeeper Kelsey Flickinger.

Quince Orchard then packed up their sticks and headed to South

River High for a two-day tournament and the result was just like

last year: A close victory in the semifinals and then a 2-1 loss to

the host Seahawks, who have won two straight Class 4A state

titles, the last coming against Springbrook.

‘‘It’s a great start but it’s just like last year,” said Cougars
coach Jenna Ries, whose state title contending team was upended by
Churchill (1-1 through Sunday) in the regional final a year ago, falling
short of everyone’s expectations. ‘‘You really have to stay focused [the
rest of the season]. [South River] won’t have any trouble staying
focused.

‘‘South River is very, very good. If we see them again it will be in the
state final. I don’t think we can beat them twice. I’d rather
lose now if we happen to see them again.”
To reach the final of Saturday’s South River Invitational, the
Cougars scored a 2-2 (3-0 penalty strokes) win over
Severn, another solid private-school program in Anne
Arundel County. Flickinger made two saves during the
strokes session and Emily Ellenberger, the 2005 Gazette
Player of the Year, notched one of the team’s goals in
regulation.

The Seahawks, who are led offensively by Abigail McNair

(21 goals in 2005) and Molly Gregoire (14 assists in 2005),

took a 1-0 lead into halftime and then pushed that

advantage to 2-0 in the second half before Natalie

Ellenberger’s second half goal kept the Cougars within

striking distance.

That tough three-match stretch will be followed by a slew

of games against teams the Cougars handled a year ago.

They defeated Gaithersburg, Kennedy, Northwest, Blair and

Seneca Valley, the team’s next five opponents, by a

combined 43-3 score.

Boys soccer wins opener

The Quince Orchard boys soccer team got in a shootout with Seneca
Valley last year, a game in which a whopping eight goals were scored.
This year, there were only three.

In just four minutes.Cougar Nick Siebenlist’s putback goal with just


seconds to play capped an amazing conclusion to Quince Orchard’s 2-1
defeat of the Screaming Eagles in the season’s opening game last
Tuesday.Cougars coach Jim McElvoy was elated with the result,
especially considering several players cramped up at the end of the
game. Whether it was due to not yet being in game shape or because
of the frenetic pace, the fact that they rallied to win is what matters.
After almost an entire game of scoreless soccer, Seneca Valley notched
a goal in the 77th minute. Shortly afterward, Quince Orchard’s Ryan
Carroll left-footed Andrew Labus’ deflection to tie things up. That set
the stage for Siebenlist, who rebounded a blocked shot from Max
Mbakop.

‘‘Absolutely crazy finish to the game,” McElvoy added.

Thank you for your time!

Sincerely,

<<Alex Chow >>
