HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS
GIRLS FLAG FOOTBALL
On Wednesday the girls flag football team continued regaining their early season groove. They won 38-12 against a scrappy Hammonton team.

They will finish the regular season next week at home against Winslow on 5/12 at 5pm and they will celebrate their seniors on 5/13 against Pleasantville at 6pm.
BOYS VOLLEYBALL
RECORD: 13-3
The boys volleyball team have won eight in a row to move to 13-3 on the season so far. With a win on Tuesday versus ACIT, the team will be crowned co-CAL American champions! This is the third season in a row that the program has won the title and in the short history of Cape Atlantic League boys volleyball play, there has never been a season where any EHT has not owned the title. Senior captain Joseph Vu eclipsed the 400 assists mark during the season night match versus Clearview while junior middle Thomas Norkevicius topped 100 kills this week against Hammonton. Additionally, junior captain Bryce Lake moved into second all time in career kills with 279! The boys finish out the regular season with a trimatch at Timber Creek with Williamstown on Saturday and then Cape May Tech and Atlantic County Tech next week before beginning tournament season with the CAL tournament next Friday.
BOYS AND GIRLS GOLF
The boys and girls golf teams' quest for a sectional title both came to an end on Monday. The girls, in their first season as a varsity program, finished 8th in the South Section A tournament. The boys did not qualify, however senior Captain Chase Adomaitis qualified as an individual. Chase shot a one over par 73 at the South Group IV tournament to place 9th out of 90 golfers. Some of the boys and girls are in contention for the CAL individual title, which will be held May 19.
BOYS TENNIS
The EHTHS Boys Tennis team continues to have an impressive 2025 season, currently standing at 9-4 overall and 6-0 in the Cape Atlantic League National Division. Under the leadership of Coach Harris and Coach Mulligan, the team has shown strong chemistry across all positions.
Senior captain Zack Borden has anchored the team at first singles, while Senior captain Vincent Zheng holds down second singles. Sophomore Nick Natchev shows resilience at third singles. First doubles team Alex Derbyshire and Jaden Tran have been a reliable force, while Michael Do and John Liberi have brought consistent victories to the second doubles position. Key contributions have also come from JV standouts Andrew Golley and Jayden Duna, who have stepped up to support the varsity squad when needed.
With three regular season matches remaining and playoffs on the horizon, the Eagles look to carry their momentum into the postseason and finish strong.
