CVU looks to remain near top of D1
HINESBURG, Vt. (WCAX) - Wednesday was the first day high school football teams in Vermont could strap the pads on this year, and it is one of the best days of the year for high school football players and coaches. Especially when you play for a team that wins as much as CVU has over the past few seasons. The Redhawks enter the 2024 campaign with high expectations once again after earning a top three seed in D1 each of the past three seasons to go along with two trips to the title game and the program’s first ever state championship two years ago. Last year CVU beat everyone they played...except for bookend week one and semifinal losses against eventual state champ Burr and Burton. Probably safe to say that week seven rematch with the Bulldogs is one the redhawks are eyeing...but they’ve got a lot to take care of in the 2 months before we get to that one. Gone are program stalwarts like Brian Rutherford, Jacob Bose, and Ollie Cheer. But CVU has been able to replace key players before. They’re confident their culture will help them do it again. “Doing routes every Saturday, coming in, lifting in the gym Monday, Wednesday, Friday at like six in the morning,” said senior receiver Dylan Frere. “I think it’s really, especially the guys before us, they started this and really we’ve just continued it.” “We care a whole lot about this program, about this team, about the underclassmen,” added senior defensive back Chase Leonard. “Taking what we learned from the under from the upperclassmen when we were younger and passing that on.” “We don’t let the momentum stop is what we don’t do,” added head coach Rahn Fleming. “We take it and not only not let it stop, we try to build on it from year to year. These guys know, they stand on the shoulders of kids who made history here. So they have a sense of our history as ours to make. What’s it gonna be?” CVU opens the season Saturday, August 31st as they host Hartford.

Moodie and Streeter Capitalize on Vermont Tire & Service Night Tiger Double Features
Barre, VT — The Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers got the show started on Thursday with their rain-delayed second round of the Myers Container Service Triple Crown. The extra-distance affair began as front-row starters Cameron Ouellette and Brendan Moodie battled hard in the opening circuits, Moodie taking the early lead. Two-by-two three rows deep behind them saw a spirited battle between a six-pack of heavy hitters, riding it out in the early stages and waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce. Triple Crown point leader Sam Caron would bite the dust on lap 23 with a broken right-front suspension component sending him into the turn one wall with Adam Maynard and Matt Ballard piling in. After leading from the restart, Brendan Moodie would dominate his way to Myers Container Service victory lane with Jason Pelkey in second and Logan Power just barely edging Cameron Ouellette at the line for third.
