HARWICH – Sometimes all it takes is a good start to set the tone for an entire game. On Friday, the Monomoy Regional High School boys basketball team’s quick start was all the team needed. The Sharks never looked back after scoring the first 13 points of the game, as they cruised to a lopsided 66-23 victory over visiting Falmouth Academy behind a season-best 28 points from senior Aidan Melton, who also grab...

ORLEANS – It wasn’t for a lack of shots. That much is sure. Despite registering 34 shots on goal, the Cape Cod Furies couldn’t find the back of the net against Nantucket and its senior goaltender, Shea Harnishfeger, on Saturday at Charles Moore Arena. Two days later, the Furies skated to a 1-1 tie against Dennis-Yarmouth after Nauset Regional High School sophomore Emily Underhill scored the only goal for th...

HARWICH — Even this year, when COVID-19 protocols have forced capacity restrictions, Senior Night remains a special game that motivates players to leave a little more on the court.

NORTH EASTHAM – There was little margin for error for the Nauset Regional High School girls’ basketball team during Saturday’s matchup against Falmouth. The Warriors were without senior forward Korin Mereste, a key contributor on the post who’s battled an ongoing ankle injury the past couple weeks.

EASTHAM – If there’s one thing we’ve all learned about ourselves during the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s that we possess the ability to adjust our daily lives. We’ve worn masks and social distanced from one another. We’ve also altered the way we learn and work, the way we communicate and the way we congregate, often turning to technology to help us feel connected with each other. This way of living has crept int...

SOUTH DENNIS – If high school hockey games were sudden-death and victories were awarded to the first team that scored, the Monarchs would be well on their way to posting a successful season.

NORTH EASTHAM – It’s difficult to imagine the Nauset Regional High School girls’ basketball team’s season starting any better. The Warriors were dominant in every aspect of Friday’s opener. Offensively, they scored in the paint and knocked down 3-pointers. Defensively, they forced countless turnovers, many of which led to easy breakaway layups at the opposite end of the floor. There wasn’t much visiting Nan...

HARWICH – The wait for winter sports at Monomoy is finally over. Monomoy Regional High School began holding its winter sports tryouts Tuesday, nearly one month after tryouts and practices were originally scheduled to begin.
