As we count down the days to the start of the winter sports regular season, it’s time to begin our week of previews and what better way to start than with boys and girls hockey, who both had tremendous even banner worthy seasons a year ago. The boys finished last season with an 16-3-2 overall mark, capturing another Herget title and defeated Framingham in the D1 South tournament before falling to Xaverian. The boys return several key pieces and should be a contender once again in both the conference and D1 South.

Now onto the girls, who had a season to remember last year, as the girls went 19-2-3 overall capturing a Herget title of their own. They then went on to defeat Winchester, Norwell, Algonquin, before defeating Canton at the Garden to capture the programs first state title since 2006. The girls also return several key pieces to last years title team and will certainly be one of the early favorites to defend both their league and state crown in 2018/19.

Stay tuned tomorrow as we will preview both boy’s and girl’s basketball!

It’s the first Monday of December which means it’s a glorious time for another edition of Monday Poll. Last week’s question saw more than half the total votes (8/13) go to the Bruins for team that is playing best currently. This week’s question is… Who will win this year’s college football playoff, Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, or Oklahoma? Comment with your answers!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, as we get ready for the first week of December. This week we will be rolling out our winter sports previews as we continue to look ahead to the 2018-19 season. To start out tomorrow we will preview the boys and girls hockey teams so stay tuned!
