Spring teams look for early success

Now that the spring season is in full swing, the fields, courts and tracks are filled with athletes every day after school.

Baseball
Like many teams this season, the baseball team is counting on production from underclassmen. First year coach Joe Cincotta hopes to refocus the team and lead them to the tournament after failing to make it last year.  It is important for the boys to get off to a good start to help them build their confidence.
First Game: 4/9 @ Maynard
Player to watch: Matt Goddard (junior)
Girls Tennis
After a disappointing season last year, in which the girls didn’t qualify for states, this year’s goal is to qualify for the tournament. With many freshmen trying out,  the team has high potential, but will need a significant contribution from the underclassmen. New assistant coach Susie Collins will try her best to take over for Lisa Nowak.
First Match: 4/5 @ Newton North
Player Watch: Katherine McNamara (junior)

Boys Tennis
After a rough end to last year, the boys team hopes to return to their winning ways.  With the addition of four freshmen, this young looks like they will be strong for years to come.  They hope to make a run at the Dual County League title and even the state championship.

First Match: 4/5 vs Medway’

Player to Watch: Will Sharton (freshman)

Softball
After an underwhelming season last year, the softball team looks to turn things around.  New coach Andy Fairfield brings a new attitude and pushes the girls to do their best.  With seven varsity players returning, the team hopes to finish with a winning record or even be in contention for the DCL title.

First Game: 4/5  vs Belmont
Player to Watch: Olivia Shaw (junior)

Boys Lacrosse
The boys team had high expectations last year, but lost in the first round of the state tournament. This year they’re flying under the radar, with many new players in their starting lineup. New head coach Jacob Kravitz faces the challenge of replacing Tom Cavanaugh.

First Game: 3/31 @ Brookline

Player to watch: Carson Hart (junior)

Girls Lacrosse
Last year the girls team lost quickly in the state tournament. After a year with primarily juniors, the girls lacrosse team is looking to “be more” – whether it be as teammates, classmates, or athletes. With lots of returning varsity players, their season looks promising.

First Game: 4/2 vs Tantasqua
Player to Watch: Rachel Massicotte  (senior)

Volleyball
The boys volleyball team is returning every starter this year.  They hope that experience and hard work can lead to more wins than last year.

First Game: 3/30 vs Marlborough
Player to Watch: Harry Leavitt (junior)

Track
Like many teams this spring, the boys track team is composed of mainly underclassmen. Balancing hard work and having fun maybe be the biggest challenge they face this year. The girls team also hopes to push the young runners to help them win some of the tough meets.

First Meet: 4/4 @ Weston
Boys runner to watch: Bennett Keyes (sophomore)
Girls runner to watch: Hallie Cramer (senior)

Crew
Both the boys and girls crew teams will be looking forward to continuing their competitiveness at the state level. The girls will try to repeat as state champions under new head coach Boris Kusturic.

First regatta: 4/15 vs. Essex and Brookline

Boys rower to watch: Jakub Buczek (senior)
Girls rower to watch: Antonia Vitagliano (senior)
