With fall practices having started up and the season itself close upon us, we take a look at the 2017 and how they are looking coming into the new season. We start off with boys and girls soccer who’s 2016 seasons were certainly different but also both of whom experience their fair share of growing pains. The boys soccer team was able to earn yet another postseason berth in 2016 finished 6-6-4 and then going on to upset Silver Lake, before falling to Needham in overtime in the D1 South quarterfinals. This year’s team will look to once again achieve a postseason berth and also look to get back towards the top of the Herget division standings.
The girls meanwhile are coming off a tough 2-9-3 season in 2016. However the team will begin a new chapter this fall as Cat Whitehall takes over as head coach. Whitehall has enjoyed an extremely successful playing and coaching career thus far and will look to transfer that over to the Raiders. Look for the girls to be right in the thick of things in 2017 in terms of both conference standings and post season wise. Tune back in tomorrow as we will preview field hockey and girls volleyball.
