BOURNE – There’s no denying that the Cape Cod Tech boys soccer team is playing some of its best soccer in recent memory. After opening the season with losses to Monomoy and Atlantis Charter, Cape Tech answered with five straight victories, including a 6-1 drubbing of Falmouth Academy on Monday night. The Crusaders have outscored opponents 33-5 during the five-game win streak, with the only close game coming in...

CHATHAM – Monomoy golf coach John Anderson has seen plenty of strong performances throughout the years. Although he’s coached strong individual players and teams full of talent, this year’s boys golf team stands on its own. “It’s the most athletic team that I’ve had in 10 years,” Anderson said after Monomoy improved to 7-1 with a 5-1 victory over Sturgis West at the Eastward Ho! Country Club in Chatham. “They ...

NORTH EASTHAM – After forfeiting last year’s game against Falmouth due to low numbers, the Nauset football team showed just how far it has come in one year when the teams finally met last Friday night at Nauset. It wasn’t the result the Warriors had hoped for — the visiting Clippers escaped town with 14-13 victory — but the result demonstrated that the Warriors have already made strides under first-year coach ...

Ask Cape Cod Tech senior Lucas Gurski about his ability to kick free kicks and he’ll offer a humble answer about how he’s not the best at taking free kicks. The results, however, prove otherwise. It was Gurski’s crossing prowess that helped Cape Cod Tech eke out a 2-1 victory over Upper Cape Cod Tech on Thursday afternoon in Bourne. Gurski, a senior from Hyannis, assisted on Jacob Gardiner’s goal after sending...

YARMOUTH — Rhiannon and Gareth Vos have been near the front of the pack for the Monomoy cross-country teams for the past couple years. Rhiannon, a senior on Monomoy’s girls team, and Gareth, a junior for the boys, have routinely earned first-place finishes while running their own races independent of each other. When they aren’t competing for the Sharks, however, they are pushing each other to improve while...

HARWICH – Prior to the start of the season, Nauset girls soccer coach Tom Pollert preached intensity. The Warriors coach wanted the girls to ramp up their effort in hopes of establishing a culture predicated on never letting up. That attitude has paid dividends, as the team has outscored opponents 14-5 while posting a 5-1-1 record through seven games. “The first seven games we really focused on being compet...

Southeastern Massachusetts’ sunfish sailing fleet closed out its season Sept. 18 with the Yankee Uno at Orleans Yacht Club. Fourteen boats led by some of the top sailors in the northeast were tested by gusty southwest winds under a hot sunny sky. The winds proved costly, as numerous capsizes led to multiple lead changes. In the end, tiebreakers were implemented to determine first and second as well as third an...

It’s not uncommon for coaches to apply motivational tactics with their teams. Nauset girls soccer coach Tom Pollert began a new tradition last fall when he and the team started distributing three different postgame awards to players who performed well. “We started it last year halfway through the season,” Pollert explained. “They have a yellow [cleat] which is for defensive player of the game and the girl who ...

HARWICH – It’s a new season and the Monomoy field hockey team has a new coach, but the Sharks are maintaining their big expectations. After inheriting much of the roster from last year’s team that advanced to the Division 4 state semifinals under coach Kathryn Andreoli, Monomoy’s first-year coach Kyle Cappallo is focused on bringing the team together. In order to do so, Cappallo has implemented a new offens...

Several Lower Cape Cod residents will be among the thousands of walkers who will approach the historic Boston Marathon start line in Hopkinton on Oct. 2 to take part in the Jimmy Fund Walk. Since its inception in 1989, the Jimmy Fund Walk has raised more than $150 million for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, with the funds being used to support all forms of adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research...

NORTH EASTHAM – It’s a strategy that’s become a calling card for the Nauset boys soccer program. Although the Warriors want to play strong soccer throughout every game, they especially want to be at their best in the opening minutes, where an early goal can provide them with a spark while simultaneously forcing opponents to play on their heels and from behind. Nauset executed that philosophy perfectly Satur...

The streak is over. The Nauset football team is back in the win column. The Warriors ended a 10-game losing streak to earn first-year coach Jesse Peno’s first career victory with a 21-14 nonleague win over East Bridgewater on Friday in North Eastham. It was Nauset’s first win since April 17, 2021, when the team bested Falmouth 20-14 in the penultimate game of the “Fall II” spring football season held that y...
