While the status of spring sports is still up in the air, I will continue my week of previews today by taking a look at both track teams. The boys come off a 2019 season that saw them go 3-0-1 and finish 6th at sectionals and 16th at states. The boys are always striving for that top spot and I expect no different this season. The girls had a banner worthy 2019 finishing 4-0 and then finishing 2nd at sectionals and capturing the state title! Look for the girls to be favorites to defend their crown in 2020.

Tomorrow we will wrap up spring previews with boys volleyball and girls golf!

Another day, another spring sports preview as today we take a look at the tennis teams. The boys team finished last year 15-7 advancing to the D1 South semifinals, while on the individual side Harry Collomb took home the state singles title. This year I’d look for the boys to once again make a deep run both individually and team wise. The girls meanwhile finished 20-1 last year capturing the South title and also captured individual hardware with Haley Genta and Maria Laso taking home the state doubles title. I would expect the girls to be favorites to defend their team sectional title and then some and also to make a deep run on the individual side.

Tomorrow I will preview both track teams!

As we continue our 2020 spring sports previews we take a look at both lacrosse teams who are looking to build off successful 2019 seasons. The boys finished last year 11-7 advancing to the D1 South quarterfinals and will look to go even further in 2020 with a solid core returning. The girls meanwhile finished 18-5 overall and advanced to the D1 South semifinals. Look for the girls to be right back up there this year as they look to compete for a second state title in 3 years.

Tomorrow  I will preview both tennis teams!

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!
