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 ...

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...

NORTH EASTHAM – It had the energy of a state tournament game packed with drama. In the end, Friday’s game finished in a fashion that neither the Monomoy nor Nauset softball teams are likely to forget anytime soon.

SOUTH YARMOUTH – Rufus McCleary is at peace with what is to come.  For the past three springs, the Chatham resident has been among the best — if not the best — boys tennis players in the Cape and Islands League. McCleary hasn’t lost a match since his sophomore season while leading Nauset’s boys team at first singles. Although he hopes to close his senior season with his streak intact, McCleary understands t...

Last year, Jack Martin sank a hole-in-one on the ninth hole at Highland Links in Truro. The Nauset sophomore and Yarmouth resident didn’t think a golf shot could get any better than that, that is until he aced a second hole-in-one on May 6 at the Martha White Memorial Tournament on the second hole of the starboard course at The Captains Golf Course in Brewster.  “It was 172 yards from the blue tees but it was ...

NORTH EASTHAM – Although the Nauset softball team had experienced success before Monday’s game against visiting Nantucket, the Warriors really found their rhythm against the Whalers.

For decades, Jerry Gordon built his reputation as a defensive virtuoso on the gridiron.

Although teaching and coaching throughout the East Coast provided Gordon with many memorable...

NORTH EASTHAM – Minutes after the buzzer sounded to mark the end of Monday’s scrimmage against Monomoy, Nauset girls lacrosse coach Heather Stevens reflected on what she saw and how it differed from last year’s preseason scrimmage against the Sharks.

ORLEANS – The select board last week got a glimpse at two very different educational realities. At Orleans Elementary School, the student population continues to decline.

The same holds true at Nauset Regional Hig...

It was at UVM that Roderick discovered skeleton, a winter s...

ORLEANS — It was one of the most memorable hockey games played recently at Charles Moore Arena.
