Upper Cape’s girls volleyball team just ripped through Norfolk Aggie 3-0, pulling off set wins of 25-19, 25-20, and 25-10. This ain’t just another W, though. It’s their third win in four games, giving the Rams their absolute hottest start to a season in *eight years*. You heard that right, eight years.
Nunes and the Rams Are Setting the Tone
Junior Daishalys Nunes is straight-up lighting it up for the Rams. She hammered home 13 service points, including a wild 11 aces against Norfolk Aggie. Yeah, 11 aces! And she wasn’t done, adding five kills to the stat sheet. This kid is everywhere. But she’s not alone, the Rams are really clicking as a unit. Fellow junior Emma Yarnell tacked on nine service points and went perfect, 5-for-5, on serve receive. Sophomore Brooklyn Kutil was a force too, with eight service points, six kills, and a 5-for-8 effort on serve receive. Then you have senior Sophia Lopes dishing out 17 assists and chipping in with two kills, plus senior Abigail Drew adding 11 service points. This team is *deep*, and they are absolutely dominating to kick off their season.
High School Hoops and Goals Galore
It wasn’t just volleyball making noise. Over in boys soccer, Eli Bassil is a straight-up goal-scoring machine for St. John Paul II. He netted a hat trick in their 5-0 beatdown of Falmouth Academy. That’s his third hat trick in just five games, bringing his season total to an insane 11 goals as the Lions rolled to a 4-0-1 record. Migy Armaczuk added the other two goals for the Lions, while Max DePaula racked up his seventh assist of the season. Isaiah Stacey and Parker Philbrick also grabbed assists, and sophomore goalie JD Kupfer snagged his third shutout. On the other side of the pitch, the Upper Cape boys’ soccer squad also kept a clean sheet in their 5-0 win over Tri-County, showing off a strong defense. Tommy Kirk grabbed two goals and Charlie Fernandes netted three, with one assisted by Kirk.
These teams are showing us exactly what they are made of right now. Upper Cape volleyball is riding an eight-year high, and St. John Paul II boys soccer has a certified scoring phenom in Bassil. The energy around these squads is palpable, and with performances like these early on, you gotta wonder how far they can push it this season. It’s going to be a fun ride watching what these kids do next.
