Big Week for Boys Basketball- The Boys Basketball team headed into the week looking to rebound from an opening game loss to powerhouse Taunton- and rebound they did. They won two huge Davenport tilts at home- one over defending champion Milford and the other over perennial power Oliver Ames. The Milford game saw the Bulldogs defend tremendously well, limiting the SkyHawk offence in the 48-41 win. The OA game was a different story as it was all about the Bulldog's offense as their incredible perimeter shooting led to a 78-68 win. Sam Larson, Tristan Morris and Matt Kelly were three of the Bulldog's top performers on the week.
Wrestlers shine in early meets- Despite only managing one win in their four matches as a team this week, many wrestlers had tremendous performances. Rob DiCalogero and Chris Sullivan went 4-0 in their matches this week while Waleed Chakir was 3-0 in Saturday's quad at Hingham. Brendan Lewis and Wavol Prentice were also among those with big victories this week. The team's sole team victory came in Saturday's quad over North Quincy 48-6.
Girls Hockey splits the week- The Girls Hockey team earned a big opening day win over Medway on Wednesday night, 2-1. Katie Kelleher paced the Bulldog offensive attack, netting both of the Bulldog goals. Friday saw the team play well against pre-season divisional favorite Westwood. Despite matching the Wolverines in play for most of the game, the 'dogs were unable to find the back of the net and allowed two goals before eventually falling, 3-0 (the final one being on an open net).
Boys Hockey faces iron early- The Boys Hockey roster hasn't featured this many freshmen and sophomores for many, many seasons. The young team had no time to ease its way into the season as they had to face both Franklin and Oliver Ames this week. The Panthers had won the Hock Kelley-Rex Division last year and the Tigers had eliminated the Bulldogs from the playoffs last season. The Franklin game was an even affair except the Bulldogs struggled to score while allowing the Panthers to take advantage of their opportunities, ultimately falling, 5-1. The OA game saw the Bulldogs play well again, taking a 3-1 lead late into the 3rd period before surrendering two goals and having to settle for a frustrating 3-3 tie. Sophomore Matt Lazaro (2) and senior Austin Zanino scored the Bulldog goal in the tie.
Swim teams edged by league power- The Boys and Girls Swim teams have had to overcome quite a bit early this season as they lost their home pool for at least the first 3/4 of the season and have been a team without a true home as a result. Hosting their first ever home meets at Randolph High School on Saturday, the teams faced perennial league power North Attleboro and gave them quite a fight. The girls fell 84-77 and the boys fell 84-78. Those are incredibly close scores for a swim meet. Some top performers included- Felicia Lee in the 200 IM and Erin Martin in the 100 Fly. The 200 IM and 200 Free relay teams of Julia Guerini, Kim Frazier, Tiffany Ha and Emilee Mercuri both had tremendous times. Highlights on the boys' side included the 200 IM relay team of Diego Ferstier, Sean Mitchell, Dan Nadeau and Yanni Papadopoulos as well as the 200 Free relay team of Mitchell, Nadeau, Papadopoulos and Sam Riemer.
Gymnasts and Girls Hoop team perform well in losses- The Gymnastics team saw many contributions from new, young members of the team as well as some seasoned veterans in an opening day loss to Oliver Ames. The same can be said of the start to the Girls Basketball season which has seen the 'dogs fall in their three games, but each game featured great 2nd half performances and improvement along the way!
