As all of our fall Bulldog teams head into the tail end of their seasons, here is an update of how our varsity squads are doing.
Golf- The Golf team may have a better winning percentage than any other Bulldog program over the past several years and this fall season certainly saw this group rise to the top. The team went unbeaten in the Davenport and posted a 13-1 regular season record en-route to a Davenport Championship. The team also repeated as first place finishers in the Hockomock Championship Golf meet- held this past Thursday at Blue Hills Country Club. The team is headed into MIAA tournament play this Monday at Eason CC.
Boys and Girls Cross Country- Both the Boys and Girls XC teams have shown great grit, determination and improvement this season. Both teams went 2-3 in the Hockomock dual meet season. The teams are now preparing for the Hock Championship meet and the MIAA divisional meet coming up in the next couple of weeks. This group has also exhibited amazing togetherness and unity throughout the entire season.
Unified Basketball- The Unified Basketball season starts up a bit later than the rest of the fall sports so it's still early, but all signs are pointing towards great things as the team is 2-0 in its first two games- a home victory over Milford and a road win at Westwood.
Cheerleading- Our Cheer squad has been working hard all fall in both working on their competition routine and performing their game routines. The payoff comes in the coming weeks as the girls will compete at the Hock Championship meet, a Braintree Invite and then hopefully the Sectionals/States.
Football- Friday night's loss at Davenport Champion North Attleboro eliminated this gutsy group from playoff contention. The team's 2-5 record certainly does not reflect the type of season they have had. Had the results turned out differently in any of three early season heartbreaking losses (16-17 to Scituate, 19-21 to Milford, and an OT defeat to Foxboro) the Bulldogs could be heading to the playoffs for the first time in recent memory. The team will play in a 3-game mini-season for the next three weeks before hosting rival Stoughton on Thanksgiving Day.
Field Hockey- The Field Hockey squad looks to have returned to their glory days with an amazing run this season. Their 13-3 mark thus far has them sitting atop the Davenport division of the Hockomock. A victory or tie against 2nd place Foxboro on Monday ensures the Bulldogs at least a share of the Davenport crown. Failing to get a result at Foxboro on Monday will push the decision of who will be Davenport Champs until the final game of the season against Stoughton on Wednesday.
Volleyball- An amazing ten-year run of consecutive Hockomock Championships has come to a close this fall as the Bulldogs find themselves in a fight to qualify for the state tournament. The team has showed amazing grace and character during this challenging season- while still playing some great volleyball. The team has 4 matches remaining and must win-out to qualify. If anyone has it in them, it's this scrappy group of hard working student athletes.
This team- in particular- also always goes above and beyond off the court. This fall they have shown amazing social consciousness and leadership in participating in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Event and organizing "Dig X"- a match dedicated to classmate Xavier Machuga who is battling back from a major medical incident.
This season also saw coach Pat Cawley- Bulldog legend- get her due as she was inducted into the Mass Girls Volleyball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Congrats Coach!
Boys Soccer- The Boys Soccer team has a record of 8-4-3 and qualified for the state tournament for the 2nd year in-a-row and for the 11th season in the past 12 with two big Davenport wins this past week- 4-3 over Milford and 2-1 over Sharon. The team has an outside chance a earning a Davenport Championship but they will need to win-out and get some help. The team is unbeaten at home to this point in the season.
Girls Soccer- The Girls soccer team has nearly an identical record to the Boys at this point- 8-4-2 and they sit in 2nd place in the Hockomock Davenport Division. They qualified for the state tournament with big wins this week over Milford (3-0) and Sharon (4-2). The team travels to Hingham tonight to face a strong Notre Dame Academy squad- a great pre-tournament test.
