The undefeated regional high school boys’ tennis team continued its champion season run on Saturday, advancing to the state semifinals for the first time in the program’s history by defeating Dover-Sherborn. The third-seeded girls’ team, which has also had an outstanding season, saw a different outcome on Friday after a marathon two-day match against second-seeded Cohasset ended with a loss. Cohasset will now advance to the state semi-finals.

Last Sunday’s annual Little League All-Star games kicked off by paying tribute to distinguished players of a non-baseball sort: in honor of Memorial Day, six veterans (Ted Morgan, Gene DeFelice, Woody Williams, David Khan, Ed Rodgers and Zeke Vought) threw out the first pitches, with Mr. Vought pitching to son Cris. Mr. Rodgers closed out the opening ceremonies with bugle renditions of the National Anthem, the songs of each of the Armed Forces divisions, and Taps before kicking off the Minor League game with a rousing Take Me Out To The Ballgame.
