Austin Walker possesses the skills and knowledge needed to take over a game. The senior from Harwich showed he’s capable of doing just that Thursday afternoon when he and the rest of the Cape Cod Tech boys lacrosse team traveled to Bourne for a Mayflower Athletic Conference matchup against rival Upper Cape Tech. Although Upper Cape ultimately earned a 10-5 victory, Walker was among the players who stood out af...

CHATHAM – As if the Monomoy girls golf team needed any extra motivation to qualify for this year’s state championship, the thought of playing the Eastward Ho! Country Club later in the spring serves as a tangible incentive for the Sharks. Even on a chilly and windy day, such as Monday afternoon, the private member-owned course still greets the team with a magical aura. While the girls zigzag over the hilly fai...

HARWICH –Between the implementation of a new offense and the return of a couple key contributors, it almost feels as though Monomoy is fielding an entirely different boys lacrosse team than the one it had last spring. After struggling to score goals and manufacture victories a year ago, the Sharks have been re-energized by the return of seniors Jake Burnie and Tommy Pandiscio, who were both sidelined last spri...

Throughout his 16-year professional career working in medicine in the United States, Dr. Marcial Santos has viewed running as one way to relieve stress from his busy schedule while serving as a primary care physician at Liberty Commons and as a hospitalist at Cape Cod Hospital. After spending the past two years working on the frontline of Cape Cod’s battle against COVID-19, Dr. Santos is set to run the 126 th ...

ARWICH – All last spring, Monomoy senior and Harwich resident Jake Burnie watched in frustration as his Monomoy boys lacrosse teammates struggled to score goals and win games against Cape and Islands League competition. However, this spring has been anything but frustrating for Burnie and the Sharks. After tearing his anterior cruciate ligament during pre-season practice ahead of last season, Burnie has bee...

HARWICH – It was about as good a first impression as a team could make. Pitching, hitting, fielding and running — the Monomoy baseball team did everything well during Monday’s lopsided 10-2 season-opening victory over Cape Cod Tech at Whitehouse Field at Monomoy Regional High School. “We made all the routine plays,” Monomoy coach Steve Porter said. “We hit the ball when it counted and we threw strikes when ...

CHATHAM – The only thing that can get rid of the taste of a bad loss is a bounce-back victory. Thankfully, the Monomoy girls tennis team didn’t have to wait long to rebound from its season-opening loss to St. John Paul II. Just one day after the JP II Lions handed Monomoy a 3-2 loss, the Sharks responded Friday with a 5-0 victory over Rising Tide at Monomoy Middle School, which both MRHS tennis teams have been...

NORTH EASTHAM – Cold and windy conditions are hardly the ideal environment for track and field athletes, particularly for a first meet of a season, when the athletes are still finding their footing and getting acclimated with the new season. Despite an abbreviated preseason and far from ideal conditions, the Nauset boys and girls outdoor track and field teams still saw plenty of impressive performances Thursda...

After missing all of last season due to a sprained anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, Andrew Clifford didn’t want to waste his first taste of varsity baseball. The junior from Barnstable made the most of his big debut, contributing both at the plate and on the mound to help guide the Monomoy baseball team to a 10-2 victory over Cape Cod Tech on Monday during the season opener for both teams at Whitehouse ...

HARWICH – Coaches and players don’t always know what type of team they have right away. For some teams, it can take a couple games, or several weeks, to gain a firm understanding of their identity. The Monomoy boys tennis players don’t have to wait to meet St. John Paul II in its season opener Thursday at Monomoy Regional Middle School to learn what sort of group they are. The Sharks not only brought back ever...

NORTH EASTHAM – There is a different feeling around the Nauset girls lacrosse team than there was at this time last spring. Even after posting an 0-12 record last season, the Warriors remain hopeful about what they can accomplish this year. The optimism is tangible. The goals are clear. “We’re hoping to make it to the [state] tournament,” longtime Nauset coach Heather Stevens said. “That’s something that we...

Athletes from Monomoy and Nauset Regional High Schools were well represented when the Cape and Islands League recently announced its All-Stars for the winter sports season. Seniors Daniel Gould and Michael Rocco and freshman Finn Hyora were all named All-Stars as representatives for Monomoy’s boys basketball team, which was also named the Cape and Islands League Maritime Division Team Sportsmanship Award recip...
