As we get closer and closer to Sunday’s title game, we take a look at Wellesley’s opponent Canton. This is the second time in three years the Raiders and Bulldogs have matched up in the postseason. Let’s see how this year’s Canton team got here!
Canton:
19-1-4
Beat Norwood 3-1 in first round
Beat Ursuline 5-0 in quarterfinals
Beat Norwell 3-1 in semifinals
GF: 77
GA: 17
On our second to last day of the winter sports reviews we take a look at wrestling and gymnastics. Wrestling finished their season 2-9, but battled tooth and nail throughout the season. The team will look for even more success in 2020-21. Gymnastics meanwhile finished 6-2 on the year and then went on to finish second at the BSC meet, and 8th in sectionals. They will look to continue their success into next season.
Tomorrow we wrap up the reviews with both hockey teams!
We continue along with our winter sports season reviews today taking a look at the alpine and nordic ski teams. The alpine boys team skied to an 8th place finish at the state meet and will look to carry that over into an even better finish next season. On the nordic side the boys finished in 3rd at states while the girls finished in 4th. Look for both teams to be right back near the top in 2020-21.
Tomorrow we will review wrestling and gymnastics!
The official time for the girls hockey state title game was released by the MIAA this morning. The girls will take on Canton at 545 at TD Garden looking for their 3rd straight state title. The weekly schedule has been updated!
As we continue our winter sports season reviews we take a look at the indoor track teams. The boys finished their season at 4-1, and then went on an impressive run, finishing 2nd at the BSC meet, 1st at the D2 meet, and 2nd at the All State meet. Look for the boys to continue this streak of success into next season. The girls finished up 3-2 on the year and then finished 3rd at BSC, 2nd in D2, and 7th at the states. Like the boys the girls will certainly be favorites to continue their success come the 2020-21 season.
Tomorrow we will review both the Alpine and Nordic Ski teams!
It’s another beautiful Monday morning and that means it’s time for another edition of Monday Poll. This week’s poll question is…Who win’s Sunday’s state title game, Wellesley or Canton, comment with your answers!
As we wind down the winter sports season it’s time for our 2019-20 winter sports reviews. We begin today with both the boys and girls basketball teams. The boys fought tooth and nail this season but unfortunately came up one game short of the tournament finishing 7-9. With the motivation of missing out on the tournament this year and key pieces returning next season, I would look for the Raiders to be back in tournament contention in 2020-21. The girls meanwhile did go through some growing pains this season, finishing 5-15 overall, but certainly showed heart and determination all season long. With a solid core returning I would look for the girls to get back to their winning ways next season.
Stay tuned tomorrow as we will review both indoor track teams!
There will be one final winter sports weekly schedule as with girls hockey’s win tonight, they will advance to their third straight state title game. That game’s information is posted below, and will be updated once a time is announced. Some programming notes for this coming week. Starting tomorrow I will post our 2019-20 winter sports season reviews each day, and on Thursday and Friday I will preview both teams for Sunday’s girls hockey final, so stay tuned for all!
