BURLINGTON — The BFA-St.Albans Bobwhites and the Harwood Highlanders were crowned champions in the Vermont Principals Association State Championship Games on Weddnesday night inside Gutterson Fieldhouse.<\/p>\n
In Division One BFA got a hat trick from senior Caden Hart and 23 saves from senior Dan Ellis in a 4-1 win over the Stowe Raiders.<\/p>\n
Hart scored on a backhander just 20 seconds into the game to give BFA an early lead. Matt Merrill’s goal just over three and a half minutes later pushed the Bobwhites lead to 2-0, and Hart then added a pair of second period tallies to make it 4-0 after two.<\/p>\n
Alex Tilgner’s third period goal got the Raiders on the board but Ellis and a stout BFA defense held it right there as BFA finished the season at 19-4, winning the 19th boys hockey title in school history.<\/p>\n
In the Division Two final Harwood’s Skylar Platt netted a powerplay goal at 1:52 of overtime to give the Highlanders a 3-2 win over the Milton Yellow Jackets.<\/p>\n
Harwood had ridden goals from Tyson Sylvia and Finn O’Hara to a 2-0 second period lead, only to see Milton battle back on goals from Nick Desouza and Chris Lefebvre to tie game at two. But the Jackets took a penalty late in regulation and Platt took advantage, scoring the game winner in the extra session.<\/p>\n
Liam Guyette made 27 saves in backstopping the Highlanders to their first state title since 2005. Jackson Ehler was big in net for Milton, making 35 saves in the defeat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
