Fall is a season of golden leaves, Halloween and Foliage Day. But
for athletes in Husky Nation, fall represents by football, soccer, field
hockey, mountain biking, rock climbing and most importantly, Powder Keg.
Huskies remained the Keg in the nation two years in a row and kept the keg
where it belongs. During the event, Mr. Arsenault and Mr. Little emphasized the
importance of good sportsmanship. “I have been so proud of our community this
year when it comes to cheering for our teams. Starting with the fall
competitions and at the Powder Keg, where I felt that our fans did an
outstanding job showing school spirit and engaging in positive cheering
throughout the day! I am proud of the culture of positive sprite and cheering
our student leaders have embraced and I am excited to see it continue through
the winter and spring seasons.” Huskies demonstrated great sportsmanship not
only on the field, but also in the audience. Sing “We are the champions” and
the school song with the whole school was one of the most precious memory for
me so far this year.
When one defines good sportsmanship, they always use the word
bravery, fearlessness, respect, responsibility and so on. On the field, our
fellow Huskies demonstrated their ability with amazing results. The men's football
team completed an undefeated regular season with its 44-6 victory over Tilton.
Even though the team fell to Cheshire Academy 20 - 70 at Williston- Northampton
School, the team ended with an 8-1 score for the overall season. Despite a
valiant team effort, the Huskies found themselves outmanned and out gunned by a
Cheshire team that carried five athletes committed to play Division I football
next fall. The field hockey team, which finished its regular season with a 5-1
victory over Tilton, secured a spot in the NEPSAC Class C playoffs and traveled
to top-seeded Holderness.
Off the field, the crowd shows respect at every game. With the lead
of Harry the Husky, New Hampton School students always give positive supports
with cheers and creative songs to their own team and never shout out negative
comments to the opposing teams. This encouraging support from the fellow
Huskies has a large, demonstrable effect on a team's confidence in the game. I
myself felt the importance of the strong cheer: During our home field hockey
game against Brewster in the beginning of the year, my team was fighting hard
on the Kennedy field, but there wasn’t much happening on the field. The
football team ended its practice early and came up the hill to support us
collectively. With their hearty cheering, our team became fiercer and more
aggressive on the offense. We were was grateful for what the football team had
done. Even though it was just a short cheer, it made the whole game brighter
and easier.
Also, the athletic department recognized two excellent athletes for
the month of November for their great sportsmanship exhibited during the
season. The November Female Athlete of the Month was presented to Jayne Lewis
'16 who was the goalie of the Women's Varsity Soccer Team. November Male
Athlete of the Month was presented to Thunayan Al-Mulla '16, a member of the
NHS Cross Country Team. Jayne was a huge contributor to the success of her
team's season. Al-Mulla's work ethic in practice and performance during
competition was unmatched.
With the coming of the winter, we are looking forward to see the
good sportsmanship continue through the winter and spring seasons on and off
the field.
