LHS Freshmen

Brockton hangs onto No. 1 in the Globe’s Top 20 despite tying New Bedford, the Boxers’ first imperfection. The Middlesex League had a great week: Lexington cracks the top five after beating Belmont and Arlington, and Watertown is at No. 8 after a 3-0-0 week. Chelmsford enters the poll with a 5-1-0 record including an impressive win over North Andover. Medway jumped onto the poll at No. 14 thanks to its scorching 7-0-0 start. Teams were selected by the sports staff based on scores reported to the Globe.

The Boston Globe was at our Varsity game today.

For the Lexington boys’ soccer team, it’s all about the process.

JV started the evening off holding Danvers to a well fought 0-0 draw.

The main event of the evening was the Varsity game and event for TOPS. It was a great way to start the season under the lights and with cider and donuts from Wilson Farms.

The finally tally of money raised for TOPS has not yet been calculated, but was in excess of $1,000 and the raffle drawing was completed after the game: The winners of the raffle were:

Silver prize: Mirabelle Harris (over $200 in gift cards/certificates to local businesses).
Gold prize: Hailey Kingsbury (over $400 in gift cards/certificates to local businesses).

The game itself was exciting with Sancho opening the scoring and Danvers equalizing shortly thereafter. Another free kick from Sancho put LHS up deep in the second half, with Eric Espino adding to LHS’ score in the final seconds of the game to end it 3-1.

The booster club would like to thank all the parents and students that came out to support their teams and TOPS.
