BOLTON, Mass. — Ashley Hart and Sadie Tracy are Senior Co-Captains of the Nashoba Valley Regional Technical High School girls basketball team. Last month both young women scored their 1000th point in separate games.
Hart and Tracy became the third and fourth girls in the school’s 55-year history to accomplish this feat, joining Jen St. Gelais (Class of 2000) and Dawn Lacombe Golden (Class of 1991).
“I told them both their freshman year, your name will both be on that wall and here we are today,” said Dawn, who works at the school and is their assistant basketball coach. “To have two in the same year is very, very rare. It’s hard enough to get one in 20 years.”
A big part of the individual success of Hart and Dawn is their relationship off and on the court. “We’re different, but I think it’s in a good way,” says Hart. “She’s the good cop and I’m the bad cop.”
Jim Peirce, in his first years as Nashoba Girls Head Basketball Coach, says he appreciates how these two remarkable student athletes keep the team first,
“As a coach, one thing I’ve appreciated is how well they work together,” said Peirce. “Together, they are a much stronger force than they would be individually.”
Not only are the two students dedicated on the court they are just as dedicated in the classroom.
Hart is taking Construction Management while Tracy is taking Dentistry.
Tracy has already decided she will be attending Merrimack College next year and plans to try out for the basketball team

Life Care Center of Raynham has received a deficiency‑free inspection result from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, a distinction awarded to a small share of the state’s licensed nursing homes, according to a community announcement.
The inspection was conducted as part of the state’s routine, unannounced nursing home survey process overseen by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. These comprehensive, multi‑day inspections evaluate multiple aspects of facility operations, including staffing levels, quality of care, medication management, cleanliness, food service and resident rights.
State survey records show that Life Care Center of Raynham met required standards during its most recent standard survey, with no deficiencies cited, based on publicly available state data.
The announcement states that fewer than 8% of Massachusetts nursing homes achieve deficiency‑free survey results. That figure could not be independently verified through state or federal data and is attributed to the announcement.
In addition to the state survey outcome, the facility is listed as a five‑star provider for quality measures on the federal Medicare Care Compare website. The five‑star quality measure rating reflects above‑average performance compared with other nursing homes nationwide, according to federal rating methodology.
Officials said the inspection results reflect ongoing compliance with state and federal standards designed to protect resident health and safety. According to the announcement, the outcome is attributed to staff performance and internal quality practices.
