[Highlights from last week’s competitions and what’s on tap this week in high school sports.]
For the first time in a long time, Algonquin Football is one of the school’s best performing varsity teams. Gonk racked up a third win over Shrewsbury on Friday (14-8).
Southborough Wicked Local covered the team’s success this season.
The article also took a close look at one player, Coltn Lane. Lane is a senior with plans to join the Marines after graduation. A separate SWL video focused on the team’s Quarterback Cole Hostage “on the gridiron and in the pool over the years”
Girls Volleyball is the other ARHS powerhouse this fall. The Girls shutout Nashoba last Thursday. They only allowed opponents to get 1 point past them in their past four games.
Last week, ARHS Cross Country beat Westborough Boys and Girls in their third league meet this fall. It was the Girls’ first win and the Boys’ second.
ARHS Girls Soccer scored a loss, followed by two wins. Their 6-0 victory over Nashoba improved their record to 4-3-1. The Boys didn’t fare as well. They followed the prior week’s string of ties with a win, loss, and another tie. Their record now stands at 2-2-4.
Boys Golf experienced a losing streak with three more losses last week. They broke it on Friday with a win over Marlborough.
Field Hockey’s losing streak continues. Their defeat to Wachusett was the team’s 4th in a row.
