This summer will mark the Breakers’ 13th competing in the CCSL, which was established in 1970 and consists of seven clubs from across the Cape. Matches are held most Wednesdays and...

SOUTH YARMOUTH – Not even a venue change could throw a wrench in the Monomoy girls tennis team’s dominant performance. Despite moving inside to the Mid-Cape Athletic Club due to inclement weather on Sunday afternoon, seventh-seeded Monomoy made quick work of No. 26 Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion Charter School, cruising to a lopsided 5-0 win in a Division 4 state tournament Round of 32 matchup. “A win is ...

The Nauset boys lacrosse team held the distinction of being the top-ranked team among Lower Cape programs this spring as it earned a bye in the Division 2 state tournament after claiming the No. 2 seed following a 15-3 regular season. The Warriors looked worthy of their seeding in their first postseason game, as they took care of business with a dominant 17-4 victory over No. 31 Wakefield in a Round of 32 matc...

BELLINGHAM – Even in defeat, the Monomoy baseball team proved it could hang with the best of ‘em on Monday night. Although the 33rd-seeded Sharks hung tough with top-seeded Bellingham during the opening innings of Monday’s Division 4 Round of 32 matchup, the host Blackhawks ultimately proved to be too much, as they used a four-run, two-out rally to gain separation en route to a 7-2 victory that ended Monomoy’s...

HARWICH – The Monomoy boys lacrosse team created plenty of scoring chances in the final minutes of Thursday’s Division 4 preliminary-round game. The Sharks simply couldn’t sneak the tying goal past Minuteman Regional freshman goalie Teddy Conti. Conti stood tall in the waning minutes, robbing multiple point-blank shots to help the 36th-seeded Mustangs hang on for a 6-5 victory over No. 29 Monomoy. “There we...

Although Andrew Clifford turned in multiple big performances for the Monomoy baseball team throughout his career, the senior left-handed pitcher from Barnstable perhaps saved his biggest — and best — performance for last. Not even a two-hour bus ride from Monomoy to Assabet Valley in Marlborough could throw Clifford off his game, as the Southpaw tossed a gem to help the 33rd-seeded Sharks earn an 8-3 victory o...

The competition is about to ramp up for Monomoy and Nauset teams heading to the postseason.

WEST BARNSTABLE – After seeing its 10-game win streak snapped by Cape Cod Academy on May 15, the Monomoy girls lacrosse team buckled down with a focus on doing its best during its final stretch before the postseason. The Sharks did just that, winning their last three games of the regular season, including a lopsided 22-4 victory at Sturgis East on Thursday that included the team’s highest goal total of the spr...

NORTH EASTHAM – The month of May is an exciting time for senior athletes. It marks the end of four years of commitment and growth on the field, court or ice. This is the final stop for most senior athletes, but for those lucky enough to play in college, it’s just the beginning. Nauset Regional High School held a signing day ceremony last Thursday for its athletes who are taking the next step. Of the 19 athl...

By: Brad Joyal

WEST BARNSTABLE – As sad as Lucy Mawn might be to see her girls lacrosse career coming to an end at Monomoy, playing for the Sharks has provided the senior from Harwich with the opportunity to fulfill some of her athletic dreams. After netting five goals and assisting on two others, Mawn had the chance to take in the game from a different, unusual perspective during the final minutes of Thursday’s season final...

HARWICH – Nauset track and field coach Moira Nobili laid out the significance of Monday’s Cape and Islands League outdoors track and field league championships to her teams in simple terms. “I told them, ‘It’s the meet of champions, act like champions,’” Nobili said of her message. The Nauset athletes took their coach’s advice to heart. The Warriors left the league meet held at Monomoy with plenty of medals...

HARWICH – A who’s who of many of Cape Cod’s top girls high school golfers met Monday at Cranberry Valley Golf Course to take part in the Cape and Islands League’s individual championship, which served as a final tune-up before the South sectionals tournament is held Tuesday at Marshfield Country Club. Among those in attendance were a group of five Monomoy girls and three more from Nauset, which held off the Sh...
