So the answer to the belated Raider Friday Trivia is… Millbury. That’s right the Wellesley Girls basketball captured their first ever state title back in March of 2008 at the DCU Center in Worcester with a 65-44 win over the central mass champ Millbury Woolies. It was a terrific day for Raider basketball fans everywhere and interesting side note the Woolies would go on to reach the state finals each of then next two years only to lose both times. Let the Buffalo Bill references begin.

So in midst of all the hustle and bustle of my day yesterday I forgot to do my second installment of Raider Friday Trivia so here it is in belated form, feel free to comment with your answers and look for the correct answer later tonight. Today’s question is who did the Raider Girls Basketball team defeat to win the program’s first ever state championship back in 2008?

A very light but successful Friday of action for the Raiders with just football and swimming in action. Lets get to the scores.

So Peter Santo, Wellesley High Senior and editor of the Wellesley High newspaper the Bradford, who also is a supporter of Wellesley Sports Blitz was on hand at the official announcement this morning at Fenway and was kind enough to send along some pictures from the event. Included in the pictures from Wellesley is coach Jesse Davis and captains Jake Mohan, Will Cramer, and Griffin Morgan

So it’s officially official, the 128th installment of the oldest public school rivalry in the country between your Wellesley Raiders and the Needham Rockets will take place Thanksgiving morning at 9 am at Fenway Park as part of a 2 day 4 game event. Now I for one am thrilled about this and can’t wait to see one of my favorite teams at my favorite ball park. But I wanted to throw it out to you the reader, do you think having this age old rivalry at Fenway this year is a good idea or not?

Well on this last day on September heavy rains in the first part of the day certainly wreaked havoc with the schedule as the Boys and Girls Cross Country tri-meet with Natick and Brookline was postponed to tomorrow at 4 pm at Elm Bank. However boys golf was able to get their match in at Newton North so let’s see how they did.
