In an electrifying season of Madison High School field hockey, the Stuarts and the Catchpoles/ Garritys are making waves as their talented families help drive the team to an undefeated season.
Senior Anna Stuart and her younger sister, sophomore, Celia, have made an impact on the field. The Stuart sisters continue to perform at a high level this season. Celia, a forward, has scored 5 goals, showcasing her ability to score and make crucial plays. Anna, a midfielder focused on play-making, has demonstrated exceptional passing skills, and even contributed with a goal of her own. Together, they demonstrate teamwork, individual talent, and they have fans at the edge of their seats. Anna mentioned that “Ever since middle school, I was looking forward to playing field hockey with Celia, not just because she was my sister, but because I knew she would benefit the team.” Not only do the Stuart sisters play field hockey together, but they are also on the Madison girls lacrosse team. They are making their mark in both sports.
The Stuarts are not the only family on the field hockey team. Lindsay Catchpole and Grace Garrity are first cousins that are only one year apart. Both cousins play for Centercourt Field Hockey Club which helps build their chemistry on and off the field. Lindsay stated, “ I would say I was very happy Grace was joining the team this year because we are very close and I knew she was going to fit right in with the team. She is such a great player and we connect very well on the field. Grace added on saying, “I was super excited to join the team with my cousin because I always know where she will be on the field and she always puts everything on the field and strives to motivate the rest of us to do the same.”
Catchpole is leading the team with 16 goals, 2 assists, and 34 points. Her younger cousin is right behind her with 5 goals this season.
The Madison Dodgers are looking for this family affair to help continue their success this season. The Dodgers are currently 9-0 and are not looking to slow down any time soon.
