unanimously to advertise for a new zoning
administrator.

Oborne has resigned.

Sports Roundup
Is Champlain Valley’s state title streak a nine-nasty?
Scooter MacMillan
Editor
Boys lacrosse
CVU 13, Burr and Burton 11
If two championships in a row are a repeat
and three consecutive championships are a
three-peat, what is nine state championships
in a row?
A nine-peat?
That term just doesn’t have the
same poetry of the original title-streak
portmanteau, but the Champlain Valley
Union High Redhawks will have several
months to contemplate a better term for their
domination of Vermont boys high school
lacrosse.
Coach Tom Garvey said he wasn’t
comfortable with referring to the team’s
winning ways as a dynasty. Wonder how he
would feel about the term nine-nasty?
But that wouldn’t fully cover what the
Redhawks have achieved over the years
because the school has won a total of 12 state
boys lacrosse championships.
