Each new season brings new responsibilities, new expectations, and new challenges. Monomoy junior Susannah Brown hasn’t run from the changes. In fact, she’s embraced them. After helping Monomoy’s field hockey team advance to last year’s Division 4 state semifinals as a sophomore center-midfielder, Brown has played a key role in this year’s postseason run after moving up to forward under first-year coach Kyle C...

All season, Nauset boys soccer coach John McCully has preached about the importance of playing with a lead. It’s a perfect strategy for McCully’s Warriors, who boast a talented group of offensive players that are capable of scoring at a moment’s notice. Nauset executed  that same strategy in its Division 2 state tournament opener. After establishing control following early goals by seniors Grayson Farber and A...

Monomoy girls soccer coach Jennifer Peterson knew this season would provide some challenges. With only two seniors returning, Peterson understood that inexperience would be a major part of the Sharks’ story this fall. The inexperience didn’t prevent Monomoy from exceeding expectations, however, as the team still managed to qualify for the Division 4 state tournament. Although the Sharks’ season ended with a...

Connecticut’s Manchester Road Race is set to honor a Lower Cape resident who helped revitalize the race during the “running boom” of the late 1970s.

HARWICH — The Monomoy boys soccer team entered this season with a clear goal: qualify for the Division 4 state tournament after missing out on the postseason last fall. As happy as the Sharks are to be back in the state tournament, they aren’t satisfied to simply be a part of the tournament.

The regular season couldn’t have ended any better for the Nauset field hockey team. After coming from behind to beat the combined Sturgis East/West squad 2-1 on Oct. 25, the Warriors blanked Carver 4-0 Oct. 27 and thumped Duxbury 5-0 on Saturday to finish the regular season with a three-game win streak. “It was great,” Nauset coach Cheryl Poore said after the team finished 9-6-3. “The combined Sturgis te...

It’s that time of year that local high school sports teams have been working toward — and waiting for — all season. As the calendar turns from October to November, local teams turn their attention from regular season action to the postseason as they await the MIAA state tournament seedings to be released. Football and volleyball brackets were released Monday, with Cape Cod Tech’s girls volleyball team being th...

HARWICH — The Cape Cod Tech boys soccer team wasn’t happy at the end of its 5-3 loss to Monomoy on Thursday. Although the players were unsatisfied with the result, Crusaders coach Ivan Popov said there is still plenty for the team to be excited about.

A year after he guided the Nauset boys golf team to the Division 2 state tournament after serving as the Warriors’ top player as a freshman, Jack Martin returned to this year’s state tournament as a sophomore. Although Martin, a Yarmouth resident, didn’t have the luxury of being joined by his Nauset teammates due to the Warriors failing to qualify as a team, the underclassman still performed well at the Divisi...

HARWICH – It all started during the week of practice leading up to the game. Following back-to-back road losses at Bourne and Holbrook, the Monomoy football team approached the last week of practice with a renewed sense of energy, commitment and focus. It paid off in a big way Friday night, when the team pulled away from Upper Cape Tech for a 28-8 victory in front of a festive homecoming crowd in Harwich. T...

BOURNE – The Cape Cod Tech girls volleyball team is hardly one-dimensional. The Crusaders have a plethora of strong servers and are capable of remaining steady when a match requires them to trade volleys for an extended period of time. Perhaps most importantly, the squad has the focus and hand-eye coordination that is necessary to stick with the ball and make plays when a volley breaks down into a scattered me...
