End of an Era


Wednesday afternoon, Waynflete played its last home field hockey game of the 2007 series. Our Fliers beat Old Orchard Beach, 1-0.

For approximately umpteen years, there's been at least one and often two Stein girls paying field hockey in Portland. But from now on, other girls will have to step up and manage without them. As a senior, Amelia's now played her last game on her home field.

Amelia and her friend Chelsea Smith, who've been playing field hockey together since elementary school, are co-captains of the Flyers. They suffered through a couple of years of losing all the time, then turned the corner last season. This year, they've already won 5 games, and they've still got a few more road games to play. They could win more. They could make the playoffs.

Here, Amelia passes to Chelsea during the game with Old Orchard. And afterwards, everybody's happy.
