Yesterday I asked you in the first April edition of Raider Friday Trivia what year the Terriers Sports Camp opened in the town of Wellesley? The answer is… 1991, as Terriers has been going strong for the last 26 years! Also each week along with the blog I also do a Wellesley Raider Recap podcast on Soundcloud so if you’re interested please check it out at https://soundcloud.com/robbie-johnson-196042912. New episodes are posted every either Saturday or Sunday!

Both tennis matches and sailing were postponed with tennis being made up tomorrow. For updated information please go to the weekly schedule!

It’s the first Monday of April, and it is actually starting to feel like spring outside! It is also a perfect time for the first April edition of Monday Poll. Last week’s poll mustered 1 vote and that vote went to.. the WHS fields over Sprague. This week’s poll takes a bit of a break from Wellesley, in honor of Red Sox opening day today! The question is… which of the 4 major pro sports opening day’s do you look forward to the most? MLB, NBA, NHL, or NFL? Comment with your answers!

It is the first week of the spring sports regular season, and there is a ton of action on deck as the majority of Raider teams open up play this coming week. Quick note on the weekly schedule is that both lacrosse teams will be playing their home games at the Wellesley High field this year so any games at Sprague will be noted in the schedule. Without any further ado let’s see what is on tap!
