With a very questionable fall season for sports, WSPN’s Garrett Spooner outlined what the fall will look like for WHS sports teams.

“Across the country, many states are not allowing high school sports to run this fall due to COVID-19 concerns,” Spooner said. “Luckily, in Wayland and most of Massachusetts, fall sports are being played in some manner.”

Opinion:

WSPN’s Jonathan Zhang expressed his opinion on the Wayland Alternative Remote Plan, WRAP.

“WRAP students aren’t given the choice to leave the program or a means to sample it,” Zhang said. “If a student decides in the beginning weeks of school that WRAP is not for them, they are forced to continue.”
