Just a programming note that starting tomorrow I will be rolling out the schedules for the 2018 spring season which is now just about a week old. I will start tomorrow with the baseball and softball schedules so keep an eye out!

Hope everyone had a great Saturday, and as we close out the second to last Saturday in March it’s time to answer yesterday’s Raider Friday Trivia question. The furthest a Raider boys lacrosse team went under former coach Rocky Batty was in 2012, as the team made it all the way to the D2 Eastern Mass final before falling to eventual state champion Concord Carlisle 4-3 at Harvard Stadium.

It’s the final installment of the 2018 spring sports previews as today we take a look at Girls Golf and Boys Volleyball who both are coming off of memorable 2017 seasons. Girls golf had a banner worthy year last year finishing 20-0 in the regular season before going on to capture the state championship. The girls certainly will be a favorite again this year as they look to defend their title.

Boys Volleyball meanwhile made it back to the postseason once again in 2017 finishing 14-3 in the regular season and earning a play off win vs. Taunton before falling to Needham in the D1 South semifinals. The boys have certainly become perennial contenders over the last few seasons, and will look to once again aim for the top spot in the Bay State Conference.

As we wrap up our winter sports reviews today we take a look back at the boys swimming season, who have a lot to be proud of from 2017-18. The boys finished their regular season 6-6, but then went on to finish 4th at Bay States, 4th in sectionals, and 10th at states. This team certainly has a lot of positive momentum going into next season, and will certainly be a contender once again!
