WALTHAM – The 2023 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Baseball Team includes two seniors from Bentley University, first baseman Eddy Beauregard of Paxton, a Wachusett Regional High School graduate, and catcher Brian Lindsay of New Durham, New Hampshire. Both will now advance to the national ballot for Academic All-America consideration.

HOLDEN — Wachusett Regional High’s Anthony DelNegro notched a hat trick and teammate Matt Dickinson chipped in with a pair of goals, but it was not enough to stop visiting Groton-Dunstable who held on for the win, 11-6, on April 25. The loss dropped the Mountaineers’ record on the season to 2-6, but don’t count out this intrepid bunch that is anxious and has the skillset to reverse fortunes.

RUTLAND — On Thursday during April vacation, Andrew Hill, 8, and his father, BJ Hill, walked from Rutland Center to Holden Center (5.5 miles). Andrew’s favorite part was stopping for pancakes at the Route 122 Diner.

HOLDEN — Wins and losses are the measuring sticks by which sports teams are judged at the high school level. Beyond that it’s the established rules of the road in the world of sports. But when results don’t always lean in the hoped-for direction, there needs to be willingness to piece together the formula that can unite and hopefully right the ship.

PRINCETON — When high school student-athletes elevate their game to the level of being recognized and recruited to compete in the collegiate ranks, it largely results from determination, dedication and just plain hard work. When it’s a Division 1 school that comes calling, that only heightens the honor and recognition that a student-athlete has what it takes to face the toughest of the tough competition.

HOLDEN — When the Wachusett High girls’ varsity lacrosse team netted a pair of goals in the first 90 seconds of their matchup with visiting Nashoba Regional High on April 22, it should have been taken as a harbinger of big things to come.
