Happy Memorial Day everyone! I’d first like to take this opportunity to thank those who have served or are currently serving in our armed forces for all you do to help keep this country great! Now for this edition of Monday poll! Last week’s poll was another close one as other just edged out the win in terms of sports you the reader like to play recreationally. This week’s question is… who is the best NFL quarterback of all time, Tom Brady, Joe Montana, or other?

Due to Mother Nature’s interference baseball had to wait a day to close out their regular season as they traveled to Medfield this morning. Fresh off a tournament clinching win over Natick the team was looking to end their season on a high note and also improve their seeding. Also on this Saturday girls tennis took on Hopkinton in their final regular season match. Could baseball get the job done and could girls tennis prevail, we’ll find out but first here’s the answer to yesterday’s trivia question. The last time prior to this year that boys volleyball hosted a tournament game was… 2015 as they fell to Barnstable in the first round of the south bracket. Now onto the recap!
