**KICKING IT.** Girls soccer player Elly Thomas is the first athlete in program history to nets her 100th and 101st career goal for the Hull Pirates. Congratulations!

• Hull High’s Boys Varsity Soccer team ended a successful season last week, falling to the defending state champions, Westport High. The Pirates never gave up, but after conceding an early penalty, it was always an uphill battle. Teddy Hipp in goal and Nate Tiani played well on defense and midfield. The team competed against far bigger schools all season and still qualified for the state tournament for the third year in a row. The boys battled hard but early injuries to two key midfielders made the challenges difficult to surmount. The team would like to salute seniors Max Day, Jonah Whelan, Oliver Szabo, Dillon Sliney Simpson, Sam Tuchmann, and Nick McDonald, and to thank ball boys Henry, Zach, Enki, Jack, Stellan, Harrison, Silas, Levi, Kai, Rhys, PK, and Dereck for their hard work throughout the season.

**TEAM SPIRIT.** The boys soccer finished its season last week, falling to the defending state champions at Westport on Wednesday. The Pirates played well as a team and compiled an 8-9-3 record this season while attracting a loyal fan base for both home and away games. [Photos by Jennifer Whelan]
