Andrew DuPrat closed the game with 3 K's.
DuPrat also stole three bases and scored.
Jared Hughes blasted a long double and Cory
Hathaway singled and scored with the help of two
Lake Region errors on one play.
Solid defense and good base running were the story
as BFA moved to 8-5 with a "team" victory.
The rangers had their chance in the third with
bases loaded and Jordan Poutre at the plate,
but Dustin Lyman chased down his long fly ball.
Rangers were looking for revenge from basketball.
The last time Lake Region played BFA Fairfax
was February 26th, and the Rangers were 21-0
in basketball, but the Bullets won 77-37 in
a "Maroon Tidal Wave" at Barre Auditorium.

It's Over
The BFA Fairfax Varsity Boys Baseball team
opened Thursday hosting Enosburgh, but the
game was suspended in the ninth for darkness.
The Bullets and the Hornets were tied 9-9.
Andrew DuPrat got the start and pitched five
solid innings while Shayne Kirby played
extremely well keeping the Bullets ahead.
DuPrat didn't give up a hit until the fifth.
At one point the Bullets led 6-1. They
rallied back from 9-8 in the eighth.
Varsity boys baseball coach is Mike Brown.
Thanks to the umpires for making the call.
The game resumed today with Enosburgh
at bat in the top of the ninth with runners
on second and third and nobody out.
The Hornets took advantage and went on to
score five runs in the inning for a 14-9
lead. With two outs sophomore Brett Hakey
got things going with a blast to the fence
for a triple. He later scored and BFA went
on to load the bases with the tying run at
the plate, but the rally stalled there and
Enosburgh went home Friday, a 14-10
winner.

BFA Fairfax Boys Varsity Basketball
by Colin Santee

From BFA Fairfax Head Coach Glen Button
"The community support we received last night
and throughout the season was fantastic.
The boys should hold their heads high and
be proud of the season that they just finished.
This group may not have reached its goal of
winning the state championship but they have
laid the foundation for future success for
Bullets basketball.
This is only the beginning, and soon, when we do
win the title, we will look back to this 2009
team and honor them for starting the resurgence
of Bullets basketball.
BFA boys basketball is bigger then ever and
I am very proud to be a part of it!"


Hazen won the Vermont D-III Championship
Hats off to Hazen for playing great defense. Tanner
Benjamin, of Hazen, covered Seth Rebeor everywhere
he went making it impossible for BFA to get flowing.
Congratulations to the BFA Fairfax Bullets 20-4
Vermont State Runner-Ups. The Bullets were awarded a

Gillilan & Stewart
Will be Missed
by Chris Santee
One of the greatest assets the town of Fairfax
possesses is its family oriented atmosphere,
especially prominent at Bellows Free Academy
Fairfax.
Students, to this day, hold the doors open
as their elders approach the building.
Parents continue to host sleepovers to assist
their friends while another child plays a game
"out-of-town".
When a game is played "in town", many parents,
students and fans gather, enjoy local sports
and catch up on what's been going on in
their lives.
When the BFA Bullets baseball team takes the
field next spring, sadly there will be a couple
familiar faces missing from the crowd.
Cleon Archie Gillilan and Robert "Uncle Bob"
Stewart passed away late in the summer of 2005.
There will be two chairs at the games next season,
reserved for Mr. Gillilan and Mr. Stewart down
the first base line.
You won't see them there, but you just might
see some angels in the outfield.
