at the Sugarloaf Mountain Polocrosse Halloween Tournament
Local teams won three of four divisions at the fi rst Sugarloaf Mountain Polocrosse Club’s Halloween Tournament on October 22-23. T e Sugarloaf teams in the top two divisions both went undefeated, each winning four games over two days of play. T e Sugarloaf Mountain A-Grade team of Nick Balogh, Peter Balogh and Halee Stroh, won two games on Saturday and one game on Sunday, before winning the fi nal game by default when their opposition withdrew. Nick Balogh won the Best Horse Award for Aspen, while Peter Balogh won the Best Player Award. Bucks County Polocrosse Club, from Bucks County, Pennsylva-
nia, came second in A-Grade, while a mixed team of two Sugarloaf players and one player from Carolina Polocrosse Club took third. Sugarloaf Mountain Polocrosse Club also won the C-Grade di- vision. Sugarloaf was unbeaten over their four games. T eir Num- ber 1, Karl Balogh, earned the Best Player award while his horse, Pinky, won the Best Horse award. Second place went to another local team, Bay Area Polocrosse Club in Southern Maryland. D-Grade was narrowly won by Bucks County Polocrosse Club, who beat Olney-based No Guts No Glory on a tie-breaker. Bucks County scored just three more goals over their four games. E-Grade was also very close. T e fi nal was won by Redland
Hunt Pony Club by one goal over Bucks County Polocrosse Club. Bucks County won the fi rst game between the two teams. T e Halloween Tournament attracted 51 players from fi ve states.
Five of those players travelled to Rugby, England as part of a Pony Club Championship played alongside the Polocrosse World Cup in July, 2011. All fi ve played in the A-Grade games. Polocrosse is a team horse sport similar to lacrosse on a horse.
Players carry a soft rubber ball in a lacrosse-like racket, while us- ing their horses to dodge and push the opposition on their way to score a goal. Players are divided into grades based on their abilities. A-Grade players are some of the best in the country, and they in- clude players who have played internationally. Grades step gradu- ally down until E-Grade, where players usually have less than a year’s experience.
