It is almost the end of another Monday, and better late than never here’s another edition of Monday Poll. Today’s poll question is…how old were you when you went to your first sporting event? Younger than 10 or older than 10? Comment with your answers!

It was another beautiful day for some Williamsport action as both North and South were in action in their second to last games of pool play. North was trying to stay undefeated while South was trying to bounce back from a tough loss yesterday. Could they both take home wins, lets find out!

It was an absolutely beautiful day for baseball as both Williamsport teams continued in district pool play, both looking to build off victories in their district openers. Before we get to those results however, it’s time to answer yesterday’s trivia question. The boys and girls basketball teams have played a total of 6 tournament games in Brockton since 2007, with the boys playing at Brockton High in 2013, and the girls playing at Brockton High in 2008, and Massasoit Community College in 2010, 13, 16, and 17. Now onto the recap!

The wet weather that rolled through earlier today did wreak havoc on part of today’s schedule as both Williamsport games were postponed till tomorrow. Both Wellesley South and North will now play at Praught Field in West Roxbury at 11 am and 1 pm respectively. The weekly schedule has been updated to reflect this. There is one result to report on from tonight as the U10 National squad hosted Norwood this evening over at Kelly 1. Could they pull out a win, lets find out!

Let us all take a moment to remember that we live in the greatest country on earth and be thankful for everyone who has sacrificed for our ability to live here. Hope everyone has a great day and little league schedules and recaps will be back starting tomorrow!

I’m a couple of days late on this but the Boston Globe recently came out with their spring season All-Scholastic winners, and several Raiders athletes and one coach made the cut among several sports. Congratulations to all these Raiders on a tremendous accomplishment!
