Welcome to Knights Notes, a daily recap and preview of all the stuff happening with Knights athletics and former Middletown athletes.

Lacrosse gets the first action of the spring season when the JV and Varsity Boys Lacrosse teams take on Winston Churchill and the JV and Varsity Girls Lacrosse teams head to Washington County to take on North Hagerstown. We will have more coverage of that later in the day but for now here are some brief notes to chew on, as an appetizer for tonight’s action.

Without further ado, here are your Knights Notes for March 17^th:

- Chase Hoffman and the Shepherd Rams Baseball team continued their domination of the University of Virginia-Wise when they took their 3^rd and 4^th straight games from the Cavaliers when they swept UVA-Wise in a doubleheader today for the 2^nd day in a row. The Rams took down the Cavaliers, 6-3 in Game 1 and then again in Game 2, by a score of 13-2. Hoffman would not play in Game 1 but would play in Game 2, going 0-2, flying out to center field in the bottom of the 4^th inning and then striking out swinging in the bottom of the 6^th inning. Hoffman would also add an assist on a groundout in the 6^th inning. (Link)

- Nick Rabat and the Virginia Commonwealth University Rams Baseball team ended their time at the PK5 Classic in Richmond, Virginia taking down the University of Minnesota on the strength of a 9-run 7^th inning, beating the Golden Gophers 11-4. Rabat would not play in the Rams win. (Link)

Knight of the Day-March 16^th: It’s not a tough decision because only 1 former MHS athlete saw action yesterday, so the award goes to Chase Hoffman of the Shepherd University Baseball team. Hoffman went 0-2, with a strikeout, a flyout, and an assist in Game 2 of the Rams doubleheader against the UVA-Wise Cavaliers. The Rams would win that game, 13-2.

Record of MHS teams and teams with former MHS athletes: 3-0.

- The Middletown High School JV Boys Lacrosse team will continue their pre-season action when they head down to Potomac, Maryland to take on the Winston Churchill High School Bulldogs at 5:00 p.m. (Link)
