WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – Eph senior football standouts John Szawlowski (Hatfield, MA) and Trevor Powers (Danvers, MA) were accorded D3football.com All-East honors recently.
 
Szawlowksi, a three-year starter at left offensive tackle, was named to the region's First Team, while Powers, a captain and LB, was named to the Third Team.
 
Both Szawlowski and Powers were honored earlier this fall by being named to the All-NESCAC First Team. The First Team All-NESCAC honors this fall were the third year in a row that Szawlowski has been recognized, while Powers was named for the second straight year.
 

Playing the key left offensive tackle and protecting the Eph QB's blind side was a role that Szawlowski performed almost flawlessly as he permitted just three sacks in 24 career starts.
 
Powers topped the Eph tacklers for the second year in a row when he racked up 42 solos and 26 assists this fall. His 42 solos was just one shy of the Eph single season Division III mark. The ever-active Powers also recorded nine tackles for a loss (-29 yards), two sacks (-17 yards), broke up two passes and recovered one fumble.
 
Szawlowski and Powers were key in helping the Ephs post a 6-2 record, a fourth consecutive Little Three title and a fourth straight win over archrival Amherst (24-23).

Companion Corner: Lucy at Second Chance Animal Shelter

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff

ARLINGTON, Vt. — There is an excited and energetic pup looking for her new family.

iBerkshire's Companion Corner is a weekly series spotlighting an animal in our local shelters that is ready to find a home.

Lucy is an 18-month-old heeler/terrier mix with energy to spare. She has been at the Second Chance Animal Shelter for about a month.

Lead canine care technician Alaura Lasher introduced us to her.

"She is a very energetic girl. She loves to play, and as you can see, she came to us from animal control," she said. 

Lucy was not in a great situation before coming to the shelter and they are still trying to learn more about her.

"They had seized her from a pretty neglectful situation. She was actually technically abandoned. She just came to us this last month, so she's still showing us all of her energy she has," Lasher said.

Lucy is able to go home with a dog-savvy cat and older children as she can be a bit jumpy with her bounds of energy.

"The perfect home for her is one that is able to give her a ton of attention and a ton of time playing, she loves her time outside," said Lasher. "She can run forever and not get tired. She can possibly live with another dog who is used to more of a pushy play style. She can be a little pushy when she plays, just because she's so hyper."

Since she is young, she is still learning and training with the staff and might need more with someone who takes her home.

"To the best of our knowledge, she's just a healthy young girl, because she's only a year and a half old, she still got a little bit of learning and training that she could use."

But Lucy is always happy to see anyone and immediately wants to play and say hi. Her endless energy makes her a great companion to play outside with and then hang out after a long day of fun.

"She's just a super sweet girl again. She'll need some help with the training, but as long as you've got time to burn out her energy, she'll make a great family dog," she said.

If you think Lucy might be the girl for you, reach out to Second Chance Animal Shelter and learn more about her on their website.
