beating Chariho keeper Hunter Hillman.

Barlow is the first player of the year to be chosen from South Kingstown.
The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Barlow as Rhode Island’s best high school baseball player.
The 6-foot-1,165-pound senior shortstop batted .479 with 36 runs scored, 20 stolen bases, 14 RBI and seven doubles this past season while leading the Rebels (16-8) to a berth in the Division I state tournament.

For two years, he’s been the Most Outstanding Player in the league, and three of the final four teams remaining are from Division I-South. Harrison’s a stud. We only had one captain this year, and it was him. Whenever things went wrong, he kept guys on task. He’s a great leader.”

It’s this time of the year that makes or breaks a team’s season. As the regular season comes to an end, teams position themselves for the playoff run. This week was supposed to be the biggest week for South Kingstown boys’ tennis, until it rained.
Loading ...On Tuesday the boys’ team was scheduled for a rematch against undefeated Barrington. It was the Providence Journals high school game time match of the week. 13-1 South Kingstown versus 14-0 Barrington who had handed the rebels their only loss. As Tuesday developed, weather caused confusion to the possibility of playing.
Mr. Lynch decided it was worth a shot. Barrington came down to South Kingstown and as they headed closer to the courts, rain fell from the sky, making them slippery and dangerous to play. On Thursday, senior night was scheduled for the tennis team against Hendricken. As the teams were warming up, rain fell from the sky crashing the senior night party. Senior Night is rescheduled for Tuesday at 3:30 at Broad Rock Middle School.
“We can’t control the weather,” said head coach Andy Carr.
Senior Ross Bouchard added,“It’s disappointing the rain ruined our week. As a team we were ready and focused and now we just have to wait a little longer unfortunately.”
The matches have been rescheduled for next week. Monday the boys’ tennis team will play their rival Barrington at 3:30 on the Broad Rock Middle School tennis courts. The match is surely going to be exciting as these two teams always put on a great match. With first place on the line, Barrington and SK are ready for a battle.
