![The Wayland Police Department have issued a warning on the rise of scammers during the holiday season. “Hang up [the phone]. if you get a text and you do not know who it's from, just delete it.

![WHS’s Connect Program ran its annual holiday gift drive to fulfill the wishlist of children enrolled in the Dorchester based non-profit daycare organization, the Yawkey Center. This drive brought the town together and impacted both the students in Connect, as well as the greater Wayland community. “You could see how helpful the town was and how our community came together and wanted to help out a community that wasn't our own [and] kids who were less fortunate than we were,” senior and Connect Program member Jordynn Lee said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/screenshot_2024-12-20_at_12.21.24___pm_720-e1734734228474.png)

In a game that came down to the last 20 seconds of game play, Wayland inched out in front of Concord, scoring the first and only goal of the game in the final moments of the second half.
Wayland has secured the title of DCL champions, however, if Weston won their game tonight, they will share the title of DCL champions. If Weston lost their game tonight, Wayland will be the exclusive champions.
UPDATE: Weston won their game. Wayland and Weston tied as the DCL champions.
“It’s unbelievable. This is the first time I think in history that Wayland has taken the DCL champs,” said Coach Shelly Fraser. Fraser has coached varsity field hockey for the past 8 years at Wayland.
Throughout the game, Wayland and Concord each vied for control of the ball, but to no avail. The first half passed without a goal. In the second half, tension and suspense rose in the Wayland stands and in the players on the sidelines.
“The girls just kept in there and played until the very end,” said Fraser.
With 21 seconds left on the clock, Senior Lina Cowen took a penalty for Wayland. Taylor Cohen scored the game-winning goal with 16 seconds left in her high school field hockey career.
“The girls wanted it,” said Fraser. “They played their hearts out, and were just phenomenal.”
![Junior Benjamin Hammond solos "Twist and Shout" by The Beatles as part of the T-Tones performance. "[Twist and Shout] is one of my favorite songs, and with the amount of vocal harmony it has I figured it would be good for A Capella," Hammond said. "[Twist and Shout] has pretty simple rhythms and awesome energy, which fits the vibe of the T-Tones. I arranged the song basically identical to how it is written, because I think the guitar riff, bass riff and the harmonies are all excellent as well as easy to sing."](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/8E057B61-9507-4115-811F-93F1FB6F7EB4_1_105_c.jpg)
