Every winter team at the high school has now had their first meet or game (except for ski team, for obvious reasons).
Let’s start with the best story of the week in Wayland sports: the Wayland-Weston girls’ hockey team won on Saturday, 1-0. It was their first win in two years. Freshman Katherine Goguen of Weston scored with 14 seconds left. Congratulations ladies!
This coming week is a major one for both boys’ and girls’ wrestling and swimming as they have their annual meets against Weston over the holiday vacation. Both swim teams have taken care of business so far and are sitting at 3-0, with the true test against Weston looming.
The wrestling team wrapped up their holiday tournament this weekend with a 7th place finish. Junior Kevin Kelley was champion of the 182 weight class, while seniors John Grumbach and John Monahan, junior Nick Coffin and freshman Cole Elias all finished in fourth place in their weight classes.
The boys’ basketball team took down another DCL small foe on the road. This time it was Concord-Carslile, 53-42.
The girls’ basketball team watched a 17-point lead slip away, and they fell by one to Concord-Carslile, 39-38.
Like the girls’ basketball team, the boys hockey team watched a 3-0 lead evaporate, tying Ashland 3-3.
The boys and girls track teams got off to a solid start; both beat Boston Latin, and they too will battle Weston this week.
The first week of IBL is over and here is a quick look at the standings:
Black: 2-0
Green: 2-0
Red: 2-0
Blue: 1-1
Purple: 1-1
Gray: 0-2
Orange: 0-2
White: 0-2
My first impressions are that black (AKA the football team) goes hard on the glass, a key to success in IBL. Right now I would say they are the team to beat. Player of the Week is Aaron Huggins. He was a steal for Green, and, having to cover him myself, I know he has the quickest cross-over in the league. He also knows how to draw fouls in IBL, which is something I thought wasn’t possible.
Enjoy break, and good luck to all the teams this week — especially those against Weston. Check Warrior Scores to see the latest scores over break.
We have three days left in the old school. Two little things I’m going to miss are the door to the language building that always gets stuck and the water fountain in the history building that somehow shoots water out of the fountain. The new school will bring new joys, and maybe even some changes to my blog. …
