EG Beats SK For 3rd DII State Championship In Row

The Avenger Boys Lacrosse team bests the Rebels 11-2 in Sunday's final at Brown's Stevenson Field.

For a team with a reputation for slow starts, the Avengers seemed determined to not let that happen Sunday, when they played for their third-straight Division II state championship against the South Kingstown Rebels. The first quarter ended with EG up 6-0. By the half, they were up 9-0. Scoring slowed in the second half, but the Avengers still came away with a decisive 11-2 victory over the Rebels. Colin Waitkun, who scored 4 goals in the game, including 3 in the first quarter, was named most outstanding player. South Kingstown team captain Chad Mitchell scored both Rebel goals.

National Day of Service on Saturday

A South Kingstown High School graduate is getting the word out about the National Day of Service on Saturday.

Letter originally printed on the South Kingstown High School listserv.

Two SKHS Alumni Sworn Into Foreign Service

Ehren Schimmel and Doreen Maroney were sworn into the Foreign service along with 92 others before the July 4 weekend.

It’s not often that two South Kingstown High School Alumni are sworn in as members of the same Foreign Service Officer class with the U.S. Department of State, and much less in the same class. Doreen (Vaillancourt) Maroney (‘95) and Ehren Schimmel  (‘96), were sworn-in with the 161st class on Friday, July 1st along with ninety-two others. Maroney will serve her first tour as Desk Officer for Spain and Portugal in Washington, D.C. while Schimmel will serve his first tour as Consular Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Having both grown up in South Kingstown, they still consider themselves Rhode Islanders at heart even though they don’t live here anymore.  “South Kingstown is a place that I always want to go back to and …
