Yorktown Middle School Field Hockey wins Bay Rivers District Championship

The Yorktown Middle School (YMS) Field Hockey team won the Bay Rivers District Championship on Friday. They beat the previously undefeated Page Middle School by a score of 2 to 1. The win highlighted an outstanding season for the Lady Falcons with two notable accomplishments. The first was winning the championship for the first time in YMS history. Second, the Falcon team raised over $3000 for the American Cancer Society. The Falcons and Grafton Middle School Clippers played a game in which all proceeds were donated to the American Cancer Society. This amount more than doubled the previous two years combined donations for the 'Play for the Cure' games. The Falcons are coached by Cathy St. Mary, Phil Sheldon and Brooke Rowe.
