High school sports this week

The reaction to my question about how much sports coverage you’d like on this blog was decidedly mixed. So, here’s what I propose. At the beginning of the week I’ll do a post with a schedule of upcoming games, and at the end of the week I’ll do a second post with scores and links to any local media coverage. A mere two posts to keep you up-to-date on all things athletic. Sound good?

And as Margaret suggested, if you’re at a game — high school, youth, or otherwise — and want to snap a few pictures or do a little write-up, please send them my way!

Without further ado, here’s the schedule of games for the week. I’ve limited the list to varsity games only to keep things manageable, but if you want to see the schedule for JV and Freshman games, click here for Algonquin and here for Assabet.
