First it’s time to answer yesterday’s trivia question. The team that Wellesley South beat to win the towns last sectional title in 2016 was… Medford Blue by an 8-4 final.

As we close out the spring season reviews today, we’ve saved the one of the best for last as we take a look back at the boys and girls track teams, who both continued a string of success in 2018. The boys team finished their regular season 4-1 before finishing 13th at the East sectional meet, and 35th at the all-state meet. The boys have been perennial contenders now for years and I don’t expect that to change as they enter the 2019 season.

The girls had an amazing 2018 season that was certainly banner worthy. After finishing 5-0 in regular season competition, the girls finished 4th at a very close sectional meet, and then went on to capture the title at the all-state meet! With a core of young talent dominating the field we can definitely expect the girls to be back and better than ever as they look to defend their title come next spring!

It’s the last Friday of June, and summer weather is in full effect here. It’s also a great time for the last June edition of Raider Friday Trivia. Today’s question is…who did Wellesley South beat to win the town’s last Williamsport sectional title back in 2016? Answer tomorrow!

As we enter the last Friday in June, there is certainly a lot of little league action to be had with 3 games on the docket on this Friday evening. Who’s taking the field, lets find out!

Baseball:

U9 American vs. Parkway (Ouellet) 6 pm

U9 National @ Milton American White (Andrews) 6 pm

U10 National @ Milton National (Donovan) 6 pm

It’s the second to last day of our spring sports season reviews as today we take a look back at both the girls golf and boys volleyball teams. It was another tremendous season for girls golf, who was coming off of a south sectional title in 2017. The girls finished this season at 12-2 overall and then went on to finish second at the sectional match, and third at the all state match. This team has certainly shown its prowess the past few seasons and I would expect nothing less come 2019.

The boys volleyball team unfortunately saw its streak of tournament appearances come to an end this season as the boys struggled to a 3-17 overall record. That being said the heart and determination of this team was evident match in and match out, and should be cause for great optimism heading into 2019. Tomorrow we will wrap up the week of reviews with boys and girls track!
