This week in sports (Updated)

Right: ARHS Volleyball is “battling” for first place in their league tonight. And Boys Rugby is vying for the playoffs. (Photos from competitions this spring tweeted by @algonquinvball and @gonk_vbrugby)

It’s hard for me to keep up with Gonk sports. But it helps that some teams tweet their news.

This afternoon, ARHS Volleyball announced: 

The THawks (#18 in the state) take on Leominster (#24) today at 5:00 in a battle for first place in the Mid-Wach League!

Unfortunately, that’s an away game. Looking for something closer to home? Boys Rugby invites you to come out to Algonquin this Wednesday

[Note: A commenter alerted that the time has shifted to 6:00 pm for the following game]:
