Well the foot plus of snow today has certainly put a damper on things athletically as all contests scheduled for today were postponed with schools being closed, and tomorrow’s contests up in the air. If/when decisions are made on tomorrow’s events I will update the schedule accordingly.

Despite the impending snow storm, that didn’t stop a very exciting night of action on this first Wednesday of the new year. Both hockey teams were in action in a doubleheader while boys basketball hosted Weymouth. Could all 3 get 2018 off to a smooth start, let’s find out!

Results for 1-3-18

Boys Hockey: Wellesley 3 Walpole 1

Boys Basketball: Wellesley 50 Weymouth 46

Girls Hockey: Austin Prep 4 Wellesley 1

It’s the first day of 2018, and also the first Monday of 2018 which means it’s time for the first 2018 edition of Monday Poll. Last week’s poll saw the Patriots edge out the funnest team to watch in 2017 with 3 of the 6 votes. This week’s question is…will a Boston area professional team win a championship in 2018? Comment with your answers!

In the midst of all the New Year’s Eve hoopla yesterday I forgot to post the first 2018 edition of the weekly schedule, but as I said earlier, better late than never. So without any further ado here’s a look at what the first week of 2018 has in store!

Merry Christmas everyone, and hope wherever you were or whoever you were with you had an amazing day. Now it is time for the holiday edition of Monday Poll. Before that however quick programming note as I will be taking a little vacation starting tomorrow through Saturday so will be away from the blog during that time, however when I get back I will post a recap of all the week’s games that I missed. No in terms of the poll last week 8 out of 10 of you who voted said the Patriots would be the number one seed in the AFC entering the playoffs. This week’s question is… who was the funnest Boston sports team to watch during 2017? Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots, or Celtics?

Hope everyone is having a safe and happy Christmas weekend as we hit the home stretch of 2017 heading into 2018. In the final week of 2017 there is some exciting Raider sports vacation action, so without any further ado here’s a look at what the final week of the year brings!
