By Bob York This was a rebuilding year for the Deerfield Academy girls tennis program and after losing seven players to graduation last spring, you really couldn’t blame coach David Dickinson for admitting “I really didn’t know what to expect from this year’s team.” The veteran Big Green mentor knew he had Ritchey Howe ’12, [...]

By Bob York Nice legs! Nope, great legs! They were the key components behind Deerfield Academy’s showing at this spring’s Division I New England Prep School Track Association Championships—which the Big Green hosted.

They haven’t been around long, to be sure, but these new kids on the block have made the most of their trips around New England’s highways and byways. [...]

By Bob York It was a season to remember as well as a season for remembering. This year’s rendition of Big Green golf has plenty to remember from this spring: a 16-1 regular-season record, capturing the Andover Invitational, and finishing third at the Kingswood Invitational Tournament.
