Happy Monday everyone, and we’re starting off a new week with our first previews of the 2020 spring sports season. We kick it off today with baseball and softball who are both coming off tournament appearances in 2019. Baseball finished last year 13-9, falling to Durfee in the D1 South quarterfinals. Despite losing some key pieces to graduation look for the team to be right back in contention for another tournament berth and Carey division title. Softball meanwhile finished 8-9 last year but did earn a second straight tournament appearance falling to Franklin in the preliminary round. Look for the girls to have an even better 2020 season and compete for an even deeper run into the tournament.

Tomorrow I will preview boys and girls lacrosse!

Tomorrow begins a new week and also continues our lead up to the potential spring sports season. Tomorrow we will begin a week of spring sports previews with baseball and softball, so stay tuned!

Happy Saturday everyone! It’s time to answer yesterday’s trivia question. Baseball’s first game of the 2019 season was on April 5th as the Raiders defeated Weymouth 4-1!
