The first week of Fall sports is in the books and while some of our teams suffered setbacks, others got off to a great start. In both cases, it is terrific to see everyone out there competing and having fun.
Before we provide all of the recaps, we would like to ask parents to be on a lookout in their emails for a message about our renewed emphasis on sportsmanship from our spectators. In short, the entire Patriot League is committed to creating a healthy atmosphere for our students athletes to compete. We also recognize that if we don't change something fast, soon we will not be able to get officials for our games. We are already on the edge of a crisis in this area. So, please read what we are sending to you via email and join us in helping our school and our league be role models for others across the state.

Two minutes then elapsed when Osorio equalized the match with his well placed header, crossed into the area from Cam Cassidy. Central defender Jacob Donovan was a stalwart the entire game for the visitors.

Senior captain Pat McBroom led the way for the Panthers with a 7 over par, 42, while fellow senior captains Drew Sullivan and Chris Ross turned in an 8 over and 9 over respectively. Despite the loss, the squad was happy to officially kick off the season and see what they are made of. Though there were definitely some strokes left out on the course, the team is looking forward to some concentrated time at the range and practice this weekend before a three match week ahead of them.
8) The Whitman-Hanson Field Hockey Panthers dropped their season open at home against Marshfield, 1-0. The Rams were able to capitalize early in the first quarter by pressuring the Panthers to turn over the ball in their defensive zone. After that initial tally by the Rams, the Panthers regrouped and played stingy defense on Marshfield offensive rushes. Seniors Defense Rosie McKinnon, Ashley Sawtelle and Caitlyn Crowley were relentless in hustling back to protect their net minder. Joli Flamos for the Panthers was a stand out at midfield as she was impressive playing on offense and defense. Flamos lead a few offensive rushes that almost got the Panthers to tie up the game in the fourth quarter.
