More On The Green-White

The Green-White scrimmage gets a writeup in today's Daily Dartmouth. Newly elected tri-captain Andrew Dete tells the school paper:
“Spring practice has been overwhelmingly positive. The team has really responded well to losing a bunch of great seniors and has worked extremely hard. I feel as optimistic about the program as I have since being here. A strong spring has set us up well for the fall.”
The local daily has coverage of the spring game here.

One more note out of the spring game. In Saturday night's Green Alert report, I left out one of the spring award winners. Tim Vanderet, a 6-5 freshman making the transition from high school tight end to wide receiver, should have been listed as the wide receiver showing the greatest development during the spring. The full list of players honored for their hard work and improvement at halftime of the scrimmage were:

Kicking Specialist: Brian Scullin
Quarterback: Will Deevy
Running Back: Joseph Zimring
Tight End: Carroll Papajohn
Wide Receiver: Tim Vanderet
Offensive Line: John O'Sullivan
Defensive Line: Jeff Smith
Defensive End: Charles Bay
Linebacker: Michael Dearwester
Safety: Casey Frost
Corner: Robbie Krattiger
Weight Room: Rehan Muttalib, Alexander Toth, Jeff Smith, Matt Oh, Kevin Gallagher

STUBBIE PEARSON AWARD
(New this year, an award honoring Charles "Stubbie" Pearson '42 that recognizes an underclassman for character, leadership on campus, high academic standing and performance): Andrew Dete

The Daily Dartmouth has a lengthy story about incoming quarterback Conner Kempe, who battled back from a horrifying kiteboarding accident to resume his career at The Benjamin School in Florida.

While football went on Saturday, the best-of-three Ivy League Championship Series baseball games between Dartmouth and Columbia did not. A doubleheader will be played Tuesday with the rubber game Wednesday if needed. There's a brief story in the Columbia Spectator and another in The D.
