The Kenmore field hockey team has adopted a practice of tossing around a football as they go through warm ups prior to practice. In the process they seem to have adopted a gritty, football-like mentality of never say die when on the field.
So it seems a natural fit that this years motto is ‘Hut, Hut, Hike!’ as a rallying cry to bring everyone together.
As the DevilDogs, a merged team in the Ken-Ton District, head into the 2018 season the main focus will be on moving forward. Win or lose, it’s about lessons that will ultimately make everyone better long term.
“The team developed skills, not just as individuals but teamwork as well,” said second-year head coach Linda Groff, when asked about last season.
“Winning as a team and losing as a team, just keep moving forward because why look back, we aren’t going that way.”
Like every other team in WNY, Kenmore will be looking to fill key roles of leadership lost to graduation. Most notably Jenna House who played midfield and forward and forward Nina Stockman. Also standouts on the Kenmore/Grand Island ice hockey team, House and Stockman, led by example and were invaluable in their ability to win corners.
With 14 returning players Kenmore should have plenty of veteran players ready to step up and fill the role of being team leaders.
Goalie Hope Falzone will once again be the core of the team. Groff said Falzone has worked diligently at improving her foot work and stick handling skills. Groff said she has also seen a greater sense of aggressiveness to Falzone’s game during training camp.
Hanna Munley will also be needed to step up and shoulder some of the leadership chores while serving as a key play maker at midfield.
Kasey Jo Phibbs will be Kenmore’s all-everything girl and she brings the value of being able to play anywhere at a moments notice. Jessica Botham will be a force on offense, not only because of her ability to move the ball, but because she exemplifies the grit of the ‘Hut, Hut, Hike!’ motto because of the way she fearlessly crashes the cage.
Eyes will also be on defenseman Emma Epstein who is entering her second season of varsity and Mercedes Ivanowski, who suffered a broken thumb last season.
Kenmore will look to build off of the pluses of 2017, like winning the Barb Field Memorial Tournament championship.
The off season saw the DevilsDogs participate in the Friday Night Lights event at Sweet Home High School, as well as other team gatherings like skill practices and open field play.
“We will continue to work on individual and team skills and above all, build our program,” Groff said.
Kenmore will host the 2018 Barb Field Tournament on Sept.7-8 at Adams Field.
Barb Field was a former Kenmore East administrator who was a strong supporter of the athletic program.
