Highlights of the week- 10/20-10/25/14

Cat Song finishes 2nd at Hock XC Championships- Many great performances were put in by Bulldog runners at the Hockomock Cross Country Championships on Saturday at the Wrentham Development Center but standing out above all others was the remarkable run by junior Cat Song who finished 2nd overall in the girls' race. This race features some of the best talent in the state and is an amazing accomplishment for this talented Bulldog.


A pair of shutout wins has Field Hockey peaking at right time-  A 2-0 win at Stoughton on Monday was followed up by another 2-0 road win at powerful Westwood on Friday, putting the Field Hockey team in a very strong position moving into senior night vs. Sharon tonight and the upcoming State Tournament later this week. Goal scorers on the week were Caroline Hagan, Mary McNeil, Lindsey Nolte, and Marsha Smirnova. Taylor Carrington had the shutout in the cage against Stoughton and Abbey Mitcherony net-minded in Westwood.


Girls Soccer qualifies for State Tourney with two Davenport wins- The Girls Soccer team appears to be playing some great soccer in late October and it was rewarded this week when two shutout wins led to the squad qualifying for the State Tournament. Tuesday saw the squad earn a 3-0 win over Milford and Friday a 2-0 win over Stoughton.  Goal scorers on the week were Sarah MacQuarrie (2), Meg Hunter, Hailee Duserick, and Riley Duserick. 


Boys Soccer qualifies for State Tourney-  A resilient Boys Soccer team punched its ticket to the post-season with a 4-2 road win over Milford on Tuesday behind goals by Bart O'Brien (2), Jake Verille, and Damian Kozak. The team dropped a road game on Friday at the hands of Stoughton, 2-0.


Volleyball keeps the wins coming- Two convincing Davenport wins over Stoughton, 3-0 (25-10, 25-19, 25-15 and Sharon, 3-0 (25-16, 25-17, 25-7). Playing great in the wins were Erin Proctor, Julia Mackie, Erika Lum, Julia Panico, Kaitlin McCarthy, Emma Gobbi and Nicole Poole.  The squad remains firmly in the Boston Globe Top 20 poll. 


Heartbreaking loss in final minutes of game leaves football without playoff spot- The Football team played some great football on Friday night but was unable to hang on against a surging Oliver Ames team in the 4th quarter, ultimately falling 22-21 when OA converted a 2-point conversion with just under 2 minutes remaining. Many Bulldogs played great in the loss, but the combination of Brian Hagan to Derrick Harris provided the two biggest Bulldog highlights of the game. Two great passes and two acrobatic catches.
