Juliet Barker and Choa Kim battled eventual finalist on Saturday.
Less than ten hours after coming home from the Belmont High School Prom, seniors Juliet Barker and Choa Kim were on the tennis court in Lexington Saturday, May 20, to battle against an undefeated team in the quarterfinals of the North Division of the MIAA state tournament. Belmont girls lost a hard fought, heartbreaker, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 to Newton South's undefeated pair of Lauren Bamel and Mei Kasif who advanced to Sunday's North finals where they were finally defeated. Barker and Kim fought their way back after trailing, playing very strong tennis, losing by the barest of margins. The Barker/Kim pairing, with a 12-2 record, was one of 60 doubles teams that started the individual playoffs which was widdled down to eight doubles teams on …

Marauders do enough to beat Tanners at home.
One parent said his daughter was talking so much about the next day's prom "that it's no wonder that this game is so close." And Belmont High School Girls' Lacrosse team needed a stellar solo goal from a senior captain, the best performance of the year from its first year goalie and a game of keep-away for the final five minutes of the game to secure an 8-7 win over Woburn High School, giving the Marauders' it's ninth victory of the year and providing a happy prelude to prom. Belmont went up 6-3 in the first half, in large part from the play of first-year goalie Linda Herlihy, who stopped six Tanner shots as seniors Britta Marden, Caroline McCarthy and Izzy Goldstein each pocketed a pair of goals. Woburn came out for the second 25 minutes …

Part of a now 30 year tradition at Belmont High School.
The Belmont High School All Night Graduation Party 2012 will begin at midnight, Sunday June 3. A more than 30 year tradition and rite of passage, the party has become a model for other towns to emulate in offering a safe haven for graduates. A fun challenge each year preparing for Belmont’s Senior All Night Party is protecting, at all costs, the CIA-like secret theme: for months students ask but no one tells. The graduates’ first glimpse of the evening’s theme is upon entering the High School and all are awestruck at the transformation. Past themes include Harry Potter, Woodstock, Boston and Wild Wild West. Staying up all night with their friends on their last evening together as a class, on the night of their graduation ceremony, never…

Doubles pairing of Kim and Barker playing this Saturday in Lexington, a day after Prom.
Decisions, decisions. For Belmont High School seniors Juliet Barker and Choa Kim, this week is about one thing: Senior Prom; getting the right dress, the perfect shoes, the latest hair style and on and on to make this big night on the calendar memorable. But then bright and early Saturday, May 20, the pair will have to decide on serving, poaching and when to attack the net as Barker and Kim will be playing in the quarterfinals of the North Sections in the MIAA Individual Girls Tennis Tournament. Girls' varsity coach Eileen White said the pair, who have a 10-1 record so far this season, has gone farther then any singles or doubles team from Belmont for as long as anyone can remember. The team advanced to the third round of the Tournament …

Two more Belmont female athletes to continue their careers playing college sports.
It was a perfect day Saturday for a lacrosse game: bright sun, warm temperatures and a light breeze. There were, unfortunately, two dampers to the match between Belmont High School and the number one team in the state, Winchester High School; the game started at 9 a.m. and the Sachems handed Belmont their second defeat of the season, 20-14, at Harris Field. While Belmont (8-2-1) could not match the strategic skills of the Sachems, the Marauders never let the score dictate their own performance, coming back from a 10-4 deficit 14 seconds into the second half to match the top rated team in the state goal-for-goal in the final 24:46 minutes. While Winchester (14-1) was best offensively setting up their chances from set plays, Belmont's speed …

Belmont Hill alumnus in the spotlight as Matt Lauer and friends visit Princeton's crew.
A few days after one former Belmont High School athlete became a video sensation, another Belmont athlete found himself in the national spotlight. Sophomore Mark Dillon, who attended the Belmont Hill School, is a member of the Princeton University heavyweight crew which was featured on a segment of NBC's "Today," on Wednesday, May 9. See the entire segment here. And if he looks familiar to Belmont sports fans, Mark is the older brother of John Dillon, the star Belmont High School athlete this year in basketball and baseball. In an occational feature know as "Today Takes On ..." in which the "Today" staff – Matt Lauer, Ann Curry, Al Roker and Natalie Morales – takes on the world outside of its New York City studio, the four "Today" stars …

Victory ups Marauders victory total to seven as Belmont sweeps Arlington for season.
Belmont senior John Dillon came back from a season-long injury to dominate the Thanksgiving Day football game, laid down monster jams in Wenner Field House to lead the Marauders to the state basketball tournament and found time to pick up his guitar for a memorable alt-folk set at "Belmont Idol." So, at bat with two outs and two strikes with a man on second in the bottom of the seventh inning with the game tied at three with Arlington (7-5, 3-2) yesterday, Wednesday, May 9, what did you think Dillon was going to do with Jonathan Matos' fastball? Dillon rocketed the pitch over the right fielder to hit the fence at the 353 feet sign driving in Mark Rocha with the winning run as Belmont (7-5, 3-2) made Spy Ponder ace Matos a tough luck loser …

Today's game supports American Cancer Society's "Coaches VS Cancer" program.
After winning their first five games, the high hopes that the Belmont High School Girls' Softball team have to make the post season have faded a bit as the team has dropped nine straight games. The Marauders faced the meat of the Middlesex League and seemed to start out the majority of their games strong, but errors and unearned runs late in the games have been their downfall. As Senior captain and pitcher Erin Reilly’s remains constant with strikeouts and a minimal number of walks, the big bats the Marauders' carried in the early days have cooled off considerably. Belmont have a below .225 batting average during the current streak. The Marauders' are hoping to turn things around this week as they host Burlington today at 3:45 p.m. and …

Marauders could not keep lead as AC comes back from 7-2 half time deficit.
Watching Belmont High's boys lacrosse in the second half of their match with Arlington Catholic at Harris Field on Thursday, May 3, was like witnessing a person in quicksand: the harder they try, the deeper they sink. After taking a well-earned lead into half time, the Marauders' saw AC go on a 10-5 run in the second 24 minutes to force overtime where, in the second extra session, Sean Donovan scored his first of the game to give the Cougars (6-3) their sixth win of the season. For Belmont, the loss continues their winless season with eight losses, four coming by a single goal including two in overtime. The Marauders were led by senior sniper Ben Mosca who placed six shots (of 13 taken) into the back of the net. Hockey standouts Brian …
