We still have one more week before regular season games there is some hot off the presses material to come here on Wellesley Sports Blitz this coming week. As we enter the final days till the season I will be taking a look back this week at how Bay State Conference teams fared in postseason play in 2018. Beginning with soccer tomorrow I will take a look at which teams made the postseason and how said teams fared in said postseason competition so stay tuned!

As we close out this Saturday it’s time to answer yesterday’s Raider Friday Trivia question. Football opened up last season against East Bridgewater at home, a 42-28 win!

It’s that time of week again, time for another edition of Raider Friday Trivia. Today’s question is…Who did football play their first home game against last season? Answer tomorrow!

On this final day of our 2019 fall sports previews we take a look at the football team. The team finished 5-6 overall last year earning a spot in the playoffs before falling to Barnstable in the first round. Coach Jesse Davis always has his teams ready and right in contention and I expect no less this year as the team will look for a return to the postseason.

On our second to last day of 2019 fall previews we take a look at girls swimming and boys golf who both are looking to continue their momentum after extremely successful 2018 campaigns. Girls swimming finished a perfect regular season at 18-0 and captured both the league and sectional crown before finishing second at the state meet. This team is always at the top of the Bay State Conference and I expect no different in 2019.

Boys golf finished 16-1 a year ago and also captured the league title. They then went on to finish third at sectionals and 5th at states. Like girls swimming the boys have established quite the track record for success and will look for more of the same in this new season. Tomorrow we finish up fall previews with a look at football!

On this hump day we continue our previews for the 2019 fall season with both the boys and girls cross country teams. The boys finished last season a perfect 9-0 and then finishes second at both sectionals and states. I have no reason to believe the boys won’t be right there again as they look to capture a state title. The girls meanwhile finished 6-3 last year and finished 4th and 5th at sectionals and states respectively. Like the boys the girls have a strong history of success and fans should expect that to continue in 2019. Tomorrow we will preview girls swimming and boys golf!
