Trojans score three times in under three minutes in third period for 5-4 win over Carmel
It seems like all hope had been lost with Cary-Grove's hockey team trailing by two with just over four minutes to play Thursday night against Carmel at Crystal Ice House. That's when the Trojans responded with three goals in a two and a half minute stretch for a 5-4 come from behind win over the Corsairs.

Vilardo would duplicate his task a little over a minute later as he scored once again on a breakaway short-handed to propel Cary to a 2-0 lead after one period of play. However, Carmel would respond in the middle …

Cary-Grove's boys' basketball team came into the final day of the Hoops for Healing Tournament on Saturday, feeling confident after winning two straight games.

Cary (2-2) managed just 11 points in the first half, seven of which coming from Jon Guay and fell behind 23-11 at the break. Guay then began to turn it on from beyond the three-point line, hitting five three-pointers in the second half as Cary began to mount a comeback. With Cary trailing 35-21 in the waning seconds of the third quarter, Nick Richter made his only basket of the game, a leaning three-pointer to pull the Trojans back within 11. Guay …
