Freshman Erik Dolliver of Oak Bluffs, a graduate of the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, recently concluded his first season with the Guilford College men’s lacrosse team.
Dolliver, a 6-0 attacker, played in 15 games for the Quakers this season. He scored seven points on six goals and one assist. Dolliver also picked up 10 ground balls and had one caused turnover. His best performance came at Randolph College, March 19 when he scored two goals and scooped up two ground balls.
A rare weakfish was caught last Saturday night by a local angler. Donald Lynch, 43, of Vineyard Haven, said he was entirely surprised by the catch. The fish was caught from the beach at the Lagoon Pond drawbridge. “On the very first cast I hooked up a fish and when I landed it, I discovered it was a 24-and-a-half-inch, three-plus pound weakfish,” Mr. Lynch said.
He said the last time he caught a weakfish was 25 years ago.

Unlike other spring sports at Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, sailing can’t move indoors in inclement weather.
The team is on the water most afternoons, after catching the bus from school to Sailing Camp Park (parent organization Sail MV provides the facilities and equipment for the team). When it rains, they rig up the boats. When there’s no wind, they go out and practice nonetheless. And if there’s a late-season snow shower, well, the team’s still on the water. About the only thing that can keep them inside is lightning.
The high school teams move into the last days of regular-season play this week, so be sure to come out and support the Vineyarders on their home turf! With the exception of track and field, each team has at least one home game.
