Spring Sports Heat Up Vermont High Schools

Baseball, Softball, Tennis, Lacrosse, Track & Field—Last Saturday’s Action Was Packed

The first full weekend of Vermont’s spring sports season delivered thrilling matchups, standout performances, and a few surprises. With games kicking off as early as 10 a.m., teams across the state left it all on the field—some emerging as early favorites, others left searching for answers.

Lacrosse Dominance on Display

The Essex girls’ lacrosse team sent a statement to the rest of the league, dismantling Mount Mansfield with an 11-3 victory. Senior forward Lauren Angus was unstoppable, finding the back of the net three times, while goalie Stella Franco stifled the opposition, making an incredible 10 saves to anchor the defense.

Over on the boys’ side, Mount Mansfield flexed its muscle with a 14-4 blowout win over BFA-St. Albans, proving they’re a team to watch in the early going.

Tennis: Burlington Dismantles Essex in Perfect Fashion

The Burlington boys’ tennis team didn’t just win—they swept. In a dominant 7-0 shutout, every singles player and both doubles teams secured victories without dropping a single set. Some matches were so one-sided that opponents managed zero games before the final whistle.

What’s Next?

The season is just heating up. Will Mount Mansfield’s boys’ lacrosse team keep rolling? Can Burlington maintain its tennis dominance? And which underdog will rise when no one’s looking?

One thing’s certain: the competition is fierce, the stakes are high, and Vermont high school sports are worth following.
