Like any great catcher, everything comes down to quick reflexes and vision for Henry Tutera ’28. 

You name it, he does it at a high level – whether blocking wild pitches, savagely putting the barrel of the bat on the ball, or throwing out baserunners. 

Conference championships were largely won this spring because of their steady influence and play in key positions. 

Jameson Dow '27 (lacrosse) and Henry Tutera '28 (baseball) filled very similar roles in very different sports. They have been named to NCISAA all-state teams. 

Bourne Field can become a hitter’s dream and pitcher’s worst nightmare on a windy day. 51Âþ»­ was the only baseball team testing the dimensions of its ballpark Tuesday.  

Four different players homered – Will Ray ‘27, Cade Graning ‘26, Patrick Robichaud ‘27, and Jack Ray ‘26 in that order – and the Greenies bombed visiting Charlotte Country Day out of the first round of the NCISAA 4-A state playoffs, 10-2.  

Sidewinder Alex Cocklin ‘27 came in late Tuesday to shut the door on Rabun Gap (Ga.). 

Even with the bases loaded, Alex kept deceiving the Eagles with his motion and location until the very end, earning a save with three strikeouts in the seventh inning. 

Alex and two other pitchers limited Rabun Gap to four hits and 51Âþ»­ managed all but one of its runs in the first three innings of a 6-4 win that clinches at least a share of the Carolinas Athletic Association championship.

A Spring Family Weekend gem worth revisiting. 

Patrick Robichaud ’27 throws hard, and he threw well throughout Saturday’s 6-1 win over visiting Charlotte Latin.
