This week’s RPC column is dedicated to all our loyal and faithful readers. We hope that the sports tidbits, locker room chaff, hot stove happenings or unusual updates RPC brings you each week in your local weekly, The Putnam Town Crier, gives you something to talk about when good folks get together.
We hope that Santa was good to everyone. In looking under the tree and cleaning off the table we found a few more items that weren’t opened or picked up in 2015. So prior to closing out the year we’ll share the following:
Woodstock Gymnastics Team
Continues to Bring Joy
The Woodstock Academy gymnastics team, which has brought joy and recognition to northeastern Connecticut for many years, continues its odyssey to another New England Championship under new coach Kasey Fillmore.
In its first meet of the season the gymnasts were easy winners, with a score of 149.1 over Norwich Free Academy 122.55 and Killingly 103.6. The one-two punch of Paige Stuyniski and Grace Logan appear primed for another great year. This duo packs more power than a Muhammad Ali one-two combination. This year they are joined by another outstanding performer, Lydia Taft.
Brooks Garners More Honors
One of our favorite basketball players to graduate from Putnam Science Academy, 6-foot,9-inch Paul Brooks continues to shine on the college hardwood and bring recognition to the Mustangs’ program where he played so well for coach Tom Espinosa. The Worcester State University junior from Arlington, Mass., was recently awarded the MASCAC Men’s Basketball Player of the Week honor by the conference. The Lancers coach, David Lindbergh, reports that Brooks averaged 19 points, 14 rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots during the week in which he was honored.
Save The Date
Debbie Barbour of the Putnam Lions Club sends out advance notice on the annual Putnam Lions Volleyball Tournament. Barbour informs everyone to mark their calendars for Saturday and Sunday, March 19 and 20, 2016 for this year’s event. This volleyball tournament is the most popular event of its type in the area. It raises more than $15,000 annually, which the Lions distribute to local and area non-profits. The success of the tourney can be attributed to the many years of hard work put in by former organizer Bernie Gilbert.
