My bad

OK, apparently Scituate High sports aren't as good as I thought. I thought they won the state championships in hockey, but it was the eastern championship, and they sadly fell to Westfield 2-1 in the state finals.

Also, I didn't mention it for fear of jinxing it, but the Scituate High School basketball team was also in the state finals, but also lost, 79-65 to Frontier (whoever that is).

Good try though Sailors! You've still instilled me with a school pride you could never foster when I actually went to school there.

Come sail away!

Congratulations to the Scituate High School Sailors on winning the Division 3 Massachusetts state hockey championship!



I know what you’re thinking: What the hell is hockey? (Ba-zing!) Scituate High School happens to be my alma mater, and while the town has always been mad about hockey, I don’t recall the high school side doing much while I was there. (Of course, school spirit and following athletics weren't really "my thing” in high school, so maybe they were better than I knew). Irregardless, things have apparently changed in these past … I don’t want to say how many years. Because for the second year in a row, Scituate is #1!

This win was particularly poignant for the blue and white because earlier this winter, one of the team’s defensemen was sadly killed in a car accident. So big congrats to the boys for going out there and getting it done.

(It’s pronounced “sitch-oo-it,” by the way).
