Eight takeaways from Thursday’s high school action on the eve of the online release of Globe All-Scholastics – The Boston Globe


Before we get to the 200- and 100-level milestones, let’s start in Stoughton, where freshman goalie Joe Toupin posted the first shutout in program history during a 14-0 win over Bay Path.

Whittier senior Kyle DiCredico scored a goal and handed out six assists to push him over 200 career points while beating Somerville, 16-4. Winchester boys’ volleyball topped Arlington, 3-0, to mark the program’s 200th all-time victory. Franklin junior Sophia Sacramone notched her 200th career strikeout.

Senior Ramona Gillett scored three times for Marblehead in a narrow 14-13 victory over Beverly, including the 100th goal of her career. Norton’s Liana Danubio notched her 100th varsity hit in an 8-3 win over Westwood.

Wilmington softball trailed Lowell Catholic, 4-3, in the bottom of the seventh when Sara Keck ripped a triple to spark a rally. She scored on Sophia Tentindo’s RBI groundout before Charlotte Forcina singled and raced home on an error.

On the girls’ lacrosse field, Whitman-Hanson’s Shannon Balfe netted the overtime winner in a 9-8 victory over Quincy.

Rebecca Hornung, Southeastern — The senior provided two-way excellence in a 3-2 win over Tri-County, not allowing an earned run while striking out nine in a two-hitter, and supplying an RBI double and a steal of home as the Hawks pushed their winning streak to seven in a row.

Maggie Schlossberg, East Bridgewater — The junior struck out 13, yielding just one earned run on two hits without walking a batter, but her most impressive stats came at the dish, where she collected four hits, including two doubles, and drove in five runs in a 15-2 win over Pembroke.

Michael Wagner and Jayden Pelletier, St. John’s Prep — The senior outside hitters combined for 48 kills, with Wagner providing 26 and Pelletier chipping in with 22 in a 3-1 win over St. John’s (Shrewsbury) in a showdown of top-10 ranked Catholic Conference heavyweights.

Nobody displayed more power Wednesday than Pentucket freshman Kam Bonneau, who cranked a pair of home runs, including a grand slam, as part of a seven-RBI day in a 15-1 drubbing of Manchester Essex. Panthers teammate Kallie White added her first career blast.

Also leaving the yard was Tyngsborough’s Kiley Hogan and King Philip’s Ali Gill.

Massachusetts Governor Healey reacts to Brown University shooting


BOSTON (WWLP) – Following the shooting at Brown University, claiming the lives of two students and injuring nine others, Governor Healey is joining calls for anyone with information to contact authorities.

Police have not yet made any arrests in connection with the shooting, but they have released footage of a person of interest, calling on the public for help.

“At this time, we just have to encourage anyone in the public who may know something, see something, to immediately contact law enforcement,” said Healey.

Governor Healey says the Massachusetts State Police are in Rhode Island to assist with the investigation. The governor also spoke to mounting fear on college campuses, as the number of mass shootings in the United States exceeds the number of days so far in the year.

“In speaking with many of them, I know that they are taking all measures to ensure the safety of students and faculty, and certainly as a state we will do everything that we can to support those efforts,” said Governor Healey.

Local to western Massachusetts, UMass Amherst told 22News about their campus safety plans, which include adding emergency preparedness to student orientation and hosting optional active threat training for students, staff, and faculty.

The FBI is offering an award of up to $50,000 leading to an arrest and conviction. Anyone who thinks they may have information is encouraged to call the Providence Police.
