Luckily, Brentwood students can be reassured that there is a support team at their backs in case an injury occurs. Thanks to the amazing facilities provided...

The last time such astonishing field hockey was played at Brentwood was 13 years ago, when our coaches, Alex Miller & Rachel Renolds, as seniors, earned a medal at Provincials.

Learning as they went with lots of direction from the sideline and on-field leadership of Emily P, the team came up with...

Never in my very limited four years playing as goalie for Brentwood Field Hockey have I seen a team rise so exponentially in skill that we were able to redeem ourselves from a loss of 0-1 to a whopping 7-1 rematch. The First IX Girls went into the Friendship Cup with barely two practices behind them, one held on our home turf, which (while an...
