For the second year in a row, the boys’ basketball team is headed to the finals of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletics Association sectional tournament after defeating Medway 70-60 Monday evening in Taunton. With the win, the boys improved their season record to 17-5 and advance to the Division 3 South Section finals, which will be played this Saturday at UMass-Boston.
If you had walked the shoreline of the Vineyard between roughly 1870 and the middle 1930s — especially the muscular, rocky north shore from Lambert’s Cove west to Gay Head — you would have seen something there’s absolutely no sign of today: row after row of wooden stakes stretching up to 100 feet outward from the beach into Vineyard and Nantucket Sounds.
The seasons of two winter sports teams came to an end last Saturday, as girls’ basketball and boys’ hockey fell in quarterfinals match-ups of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletics Association sectional tournament. The girls, playing at home, lost 49-35 to Norwell, while the boys lost 4-3 to Franklin at a neutral site.
