Chester Fishing Derby
The Chester Fishing Derby was held Saturday, May 11. It was a chilly morning with overcast skies, limiting the number of anglers. There were 29 kids registered. As in the past, George Wilson from the Chester Rod & Gun Club registered the kids and awarded prizes. This year, George was joined by Kent Armstrong, vice president of the club.

The Cosmos had a huge fight in the second half, but could not reign in the win. The Minutemen brought home the win for the night with a final score of 44-39.

With a slow comeback in the first half, the Cosmos started to pull it together in the third quarter, scoring 10 points to the Minutemen’s 11. Buckets from Bailey, Leon, and Bills would begin a start that led to a fourth-quarter comeback, only a few points shy of a win. The Minutemen would lead the fourth quarter by 14 points with a score of 37-23. Coaches Gultekin and Pinter-Petrillo huddled with the team to instruct them to use junior Sam Bailey.

Bailey scored 10 points, Bills chipped in four points, and Todd had two in the fast-paced fourth quarter. At one point in the fourth quarter, Springfield cut the deficit to three points.
