ATTLEBORO – It didn’t take Nauset’s first-year girls soccer coach Evan Botting long to understand what sort of group he inherited from former Warriors coach Tom Pollert. Nauset has jumped out to a 3-1 record through its first four games after outscoring opponents by a 15-8 margin, with all three victories coming by a margin of at least three goals. “They are unbelievably talented,” Botting said of this year...

NORTH EASTHAM – The Nauset football team showed sparks of brilliance during its season opener against visiting Norwell on Friday night, but those moments didn’t translate to the scoreboard the way the Warriors needed them to. After losing 16 seniors from last year’s squad, Nauset struggled to keep pace with the high-powered Clippers before ultimately suffering a 40-15 loss on its home field. “The score didn...

NORTH EASTHAM – Nauset boys soccer coach John McCully invited Hingham, Ludlow and Weymouth to Nauset last weekend for a four-team jamboree. McCully already knew this year’s team lost the bulk of its scoring from last year’s playoff run to the Division 2 state tournament’s Round of 16, but the longtime Warriors coach still wanted to gain an understanding of how his team would fare against some of the Bay State’...

NORTH EASTHAM – You don’t have to look very hard to see the changes that are taking place around Nauset Regional High School. This is a new era for the school, which is undergoing a major facelift as its long-awaited renovation project continues. Although the campus feels like a construction zone in many regards, the school’s multi-sport turf athletic complex remains untouched. For the Nauset football team,...

EASTHAM – In June, the Nauset High Class of 2023 celebrated the end of their high school careers in the middle of a major overhaul to the school. Much of the Cable Road campus they'd called home for four years had been torn down and fenced off, while trees and pavement were also torn up as part of the combined construction and renovation of the school. But as the 2023-2024 school year gets set to start Sept. 7...

The campus of Nauset Regional High School bears evidence of major change. From the front parking lot, one can see mounds of dirt fenced off, the shell of former buildings off slightly in the distance. In back, modular classrooms are set up to accommodate teachers, students and staff while work on the campus renovation is ongoing. But for all the chaos that comes with such a massive undertaking, it felt oddly s...

     Nauset Regional High School students are getting the chance to perform on one of the area’s most beloved stages, while their drama teacher experiences a homecoming, as the school’s production of “The Drowsy Chaperone” takes the Cape Rep Theatre stage through May 27.      Cape Rep Theatre is hosting Nauset High School’s spring musical while their campus is under construction. The venue is a familiar one fo...

ORLEANS – Nicole Boyce literally found herself going down an internet rabbit hole. The Nauset Regional High School junior was looking up "free rabbits" on Craigslist, and she was surprised to find a number of listings. "I thought that was really interesting," she said. Many of the ads were from well meaning people who were trying to find a good home for their pet, but she found that wasn't always the cas...

NORTH EASTHAM – Less than 24 hours removed from a hard-fought 14-13 victory at Scituate, Nauset boys lacrosse coach Jesse Peno recognized his Warriors squad needed someone to step up during Saturday’s game against visiting Bridgewater-Raynham. Andrew Berardi answered the coach’s call in a big way. Berardi, a senior from Orleans, scored 12 goals — including nine in the second half — to help guide Nauset to a...

SANDWICH – After opening its season with a convincing 10-4 victory over St. John Paul II, the Nauset baseball team has seen how costly simple miscues can be. The team fell to 1-3 after suffering losses to Duxbury (11-5), Sandwich (5-1) and Falmouth (2-1), and one common theme throughout the slow start has been errors in the field, according to first-year coach Doug Mason. “One rough inning in three gam...

ORLEANS – Mark Mathison remembers the conversations that surrounded the development of the existing Nauset Regional High School campus in Eastham back in the 1960s. Orleans, the select board member recalled, initially voted against relocating the high school from the site of the regional middle school to Eastham. The move was eventually approved by the district towns the following year, he said. But the cost o...

Prepare the turkey, mash those potatoes and make sure to stuff enough stuffing…but don’t forget to enjoy some pigskin Thanksgiving morning. All three of the Lower Cape’s high school football teams will be in action Thursday morning when they close out their respective seasons with another edition of Thanksgiving football rivalries. Harwich will play host to two Thanksgiving games, as Cape Cod Tech (2-8) wil...

MELROSE – All season, the Nauset boys soccer team prided itself on starting games fast. The Warriors worked hard to score first so they could establish control on the scoreboard and force opponents to play catchup. It was No. 22 Nauset who was playing catchup Friday in a Division 2 state tournament second-round matchup at sixth-seeded Melrose. Amir Lahkiky gave the host Red Raiders an early lead after scoring ...

ORLEANS – Two ballot questions will go before Orleans voters at the Jan. 10 election called to secure additional funding for the Nauset Regional High School renovation. The select board unanimously voted Nov. 9 to put the questions on the ballot. The town will join the other Nauset district towns of Eastham, Wellfleet and Brewster in holding elections on Jan. 10. One question will seek authority to move ahe...

It’s crunch time for local high school sports teams with state tournament aspirations. With just over a week remaining in the regular season for most high school sports, teams are beginning to learn whether they are in line to qualify for the state tournament and, if so, where they might be positioned in the seedings. Each week, the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association releases power rankings ...

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 ...
