Profile Interview

Trevor Carroll


 Freshman year of high school is never an easy task. It is a completely new atmosphere, filled with different people and much more demanding classes. For most, it’s a transition that could take close to an entire ten week quarter, sometimes more. Ryan Carroll’s introduction to high school will not be the same as everyone else's, not even close. Having to balance schoolwork with three sports, two of them being at the varsity level, will be a whole new challenge.
 The typical freshman athlete will play one sport his freshman year, two at max. These sports are played at the Freshman or JV level, with far less demand than Varsity. The coaches of both Freshman and JV very well know of the struggles of a first year high school student, and give room for error. The Varsity level comes with the expectation of a high standard both on and off the field. Carroll will be jumping right into his first sport the first week of school, Golf. Right after that, he goes right to the ice for tryouts for the school’s hockey team. “I feel like every rising freshman is definitely a little nervous about high school, it’s a whole different scenario,” Carroll said, “I feel good about my chances(of making both teams), but if I get cut from either it won’t be the worst thing in the world.” But Carroll later explained how his work ethic and competitive nature will help him be at top performance come tryout time.Getting cut or not making the team is a worst case scenario situation. Given both the hockey and golf teams current situation, Carroll could be an instant contributor.  Head golf coach Ben Smith explains “We lost a lot of guys this year, we had a ton of seniors. We’re searching for kids to come right in and contribute to the team, I’ll be working with Ry during the summer to improve his game and hopefully make him one of those kids.” As for the hockey situation, the team lost 13 seniors this year, the biggest Senior class the team has seen in years. Not only was the class large, they were also extremely productive. With four of the five starters being Seniors, the opportunity for new skaters to contribute is high as well. “Hockey is a tradition in our family,” Carroll’s mother Michele said, “ We really believe that Ryan has a great chance to get solid playing time this year. It’s a shame he didn’t get the chance to play with his brother(Trevor, a Senior who graduated this year) but he will no doubt get tips from him along the way.”

 Sports are important, but the priority for Carroll is too accel in the classroom. Playing a sport all three seasons will without a doubt be a huge challenge. WIth homework being an inevitability in every class, time will be hard to come by. “It’ll absolutely be a challenge but I think I’m ready,” said Carroll “Getting home late from practice will be tough and I'll most likely have to stay up really late to finish it all.” He later said “it’s just something I’ll have to get used to.”  Athletes having to juggle between schoolwork and sports has been a widely known problem for awhile now, with students coming up with all kinds of different ways to cope with the problem. During free periods of the day, immediately before practice, or in certain cases, as soon its assigned in class.


 Whatever happens, Carroll is ready for the challenge. Either way, he knows that time is most certainly on his side. “ I'm only a freshman, I have a ton of time left to get better

and improve my game.”

Rangers Overcome 3-1 Deficit, Win Series

 Rangers Overcome 3-1 Deficit, Win Series
 On Wednesday night, a game Seven was played at Madison Square Garden for a berth to the Eastern Conference Finals on the line. The New York Rangers, coming all the way back from a 3-1 series deficit, pulled out an OT win against the Washington Capitals.

 Going into the game, Captain and star player of the Capitals Alex Ovechkin stated “We’re going to come back and win the series”. Ovechkin did his part, scoring the games first goal in the first period and giving his team all the momentum. Yet in the second period with 6:22 left, the Rangers took advantage on the power play. J.T. Miller found a wide open Kevin Hayes cutting towards the net back door, tieing the game at one apiece. The third period remained scoreless, but Rangers defenseman Dan Boyle left the game with an apparent concussion after taking a major blow from Capitals’ defenseman Brooks Orpik. New York head coach Alain Vigneault hopes to know more about the injury on Friday.  The first ten minutes of the overtime period were thrilling, with each team getting chance after chance. Finally, with 11:24 into overtime Derek Stepan scored the game winning goal top shelf. Stepan was quick to move on to the next game, knowing their work is far from over:  "We enjoy this moment and we get ourselves ready for the Eastern Conference Finals,We still have a lot of work to do." The whole crowd went into a frenzy, and the entire team jumped with joy while gathering around the game’s hero. This marks three of the past four season that Washington has been eliminated by the Ranger’s. And for the Rangers, they now have their part in history: The first team to win a series after being down 3-1 in consecutive seasons.  Rangers goalie Henrik Lunqvist credits this to taking it a game at a time, “ It starts with confidence and that you can do it and take one game at a time and we did a great job." Both goalies played outstanding, with Lundqvist recording 36 saves and Braden Holtby stopping 39.

 Up next, the Rangers will face the Tampa Bay Lightning, a team they were 0-3-1 against in the regular season.
