23 Kingston Students on URI’s Dean List

Whoops – we forgot to include these people the other day!

So the other day, I ran a list of local Dean’s List honorees at the University of Rhode Island. The problem was, I forgot 23 people from West Kingston and Kingston! In true Rhode Island fashion, I only looked up the honorees from the South Kingstown, Narragansett and Saunderstown zip codes. And of course, West Kingston and Kingston has its own postal district.

Winterguard Season Starts for Gansett Guard

The start of 2013 brings with it the start of the Winterguard season, the newest performance team for the Gansett school system.

The start of a new year brings a new season for Winterguard – It’s not called Winterguard because we start in April!  What is Winterguard, you ask? Winterguard is so many things, and at the same time, it is not like anything you have seen before.  Picture dancers and rhythmic gymnasts combined with cheerleading, a drill team and those pretty girls with the flags you see marching in the parade all wrapped up together!  A team will compete to a pre-selected music piece and perform a high intense routine.  Girls and boys are leaping about like gazelles on the Serengeti, then tumbling and spinning their bodies about, and that’s just most intros!  If you want to be on a Winterguard team, you must learn how to use “weapons.” No, don’t worry, …

Poor Second Quarter Sinks Mariners; Rebels In Title Game Tonight

BOYS LAX – The Mariners play hard until the final whistle, but can’t overcome a poor second quarter, and the Rebels get their own chance at the title tonight.

PROVIDENCE – The Narragansett High School boys’ lacrosse team couldn’t overcome a five-goal deficit they dug for themselves in the second quarter, and fell 12-6 in the Division III title game to Smithfield. A Smithfield play with one second left resulted in a goal for senior captain Ryan Benoit, and capped off a five-goal run in the final 6:34 for the No. 1 seed. Benoit finished with three goals and was named MVP. Narragansett never recovered – The Mariners closed within three goals with 6:25 remaining in the game, but Smithfield scored 17 seconds later, and twice more in the final four minutes. Narragansett head coach Mark Chafee said his team looked a little ruffled out there, especially in the second quarter. “I was a little surprised …
