The week in review- 9/30/13-10/4/13

Perfect week for girls and boys soccer- This week saw the boys and girls soccer team each go 2-0 vs. Stoughton and Taunton. The Girls team kept in the hunt for the Davenport title chase with a 2-0 win at Stoughton on Tuesday and a 2-1 victory at Taunton on Friday. Freshman Hannah Link scored both goals in the Stoughton win and senior Kim McNally scored both goals in the win over Taunton. The team is currently ranked 13th in the Boston Globe poll.

The Boys dug themselves out of a tough stretch, defeating the Black Knights, 2-0 and the Tigers 3-0, both at home. The shutouts make it 3 games in a row without the team conceding a goal. Bart O'Brien scored 3 of the 5 goals this week.

Field Hockey with shutout week- The Field Hockey squad defeated Stoughton, 3-0 on Tuesday and followed it up with a 2-0 win at Taunton on Thursday. Thursday's win at Taunton featured goals by Kellie Stigas and Katie Kelleher with an assist by Jackie Merrigan.

Volleyball team remains perfect and continues to improve- 3-0 victories over Stoughton and Taunton improved the Girls Volleyball record to 9-0. Thursday's victory over Taunton was led by Avery Devoe (16 kills and 3 aces), Elizabeth Hamilton (14 kills, 4 aces and hit .423) and Erin Proctor (28 assists). The team is currently ranked 13th in the latest Boston Globe poll.

Football heroic comeback ends in disappointment- A mistake ridden first three quarters had the football team down 35-13 against visiting Milford on Friday night at CHS, but anyone who left early missed all of the drama and excitement as the Bulldogs fought back to score three unanswered touchdowns to tie it a 35 a-piece. A Hawk 23 yard field goal as the clock ran down ended up dashing the hopes of turning the comeback into a victory as the game ended 38-35 Milford.

Brian Hagan put the Bulldogs up early on a 1 yard run in the 1st quarter, but Milford would score the next 21 points before Hagan scored again midway through the 3rd quarter to make it 21-13. But the Hawks once again took advantage of some 'dog mistakes and ended the quarter finding the Bulldog endzone two more times and putting the game seemingly out of reach for the home team. But someone forgot to tell the Bulldogs as they mounted an amazing comeback that featured touchdowns by Michael Harris, Kevin Wing and Jahron Reynolds (with just 2 minutes remaining), tying it up at 35-35. That flurry of Bulldog domination also included two Matt Bagley on-side-kicks recovered by the Green and White and some great play at quarterback by Anthony Ross. Hopes of the victory were dashed when the visiting Hawks had a good kickoff return and managed a couple of big passing plays to lead to a 23 yard field goal and the Milford win.

Up and Down week for Golf squad- This week saw the Golf team shoot an amazingly low score of 147 to defeat Sharon on Wednesday, 147-166, but shot much higher on Thursday, falling to first place Oliver Ames, 162-145. Wednesday's 147 was the lowest team score for the Bulldogs in recent memory. Sam Riemer, Sam Hrubec and Luke Thompson all shot 36 (one over par) in the big win.

XC teams battle Milford- Girls win, Boys come up short- The Girls team was once again led by Amanda Eagles, Courtney Loughnane and Catherine Song in an 18-42 victory while the Boys fell 33-24 but saw strong performances by Courtland Priest, Joe Clancy and Spencer Polsgrove.
