The Martha’s Vineyard Squirts won their first-ever Ryan Mone Memorial Tournament last weekend, skating to four wins in three days. The Squirts played the Boston Bandits in their first game on Friday, and won 4-0 after two goals from Hunter Meader and one each from Logan Araujo and Will Brugiere. Aiden Araujo, Pete Gillis, and Kenny Hatt notched assists, while Aiden Marek earned the shutout in goal.

From the gleaming russet wood of pint-sized instruments, to the shining buckles on children’s dress shoes, to the carefully-practiced notes of the Hallelujah Chorus, Thursday night’s All-Island Winter Strings Concert was full of polish. About 150 students participate in the strings program each year, learning violin, viola, cello and — in some cases — bass under the instruction of Nancy Jephcote and Chelsea Pennebaker.

Fighting off a tenacious Coyle and Cassidy squad, the Vineyard basketball girls won their tenth game of the season Friday afternoon and clinched their spot in the MIAA postseason tournament.

A free flu shot clinic hosted last Sunday by the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital, Vineyard Nursing Association and Island boards of health was called a success by town officials and health care workers.

“We will be less sick as a little population because of this effort, and I wanted to commend the collaboration,” Cynthia Mitchell, West Tisbury selectman and executive at Island Health Clinic, said at the town selectmen’s meeting this week.

The march to the postseason continued this week with split results; the boys’ basketball team secured an easy victory on Tuesday while the girls took a hard-fought loss. Both basketball squads need just one more win to clinch a spot in the postseason tournament. Meanwhile, the fledgling swim team, hampered by illness and injury, hosted Sacred Heart in a close meet on Monday, but ultimately came up short.

The supply of flu vaccine during Sunday's free clinic at the Martha's Vineyard Hospital was exhausted after less than three hours due to high demand. Edgartown health agent Matthew Poole told the Gazette Monday morning that high turnout was expected, but organizers nevertheless ran out of the vaccine at 11:45 a.m. The clinic opened at 9 and was scheduled to go until 2 p.m.
