A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
In boys’ hockey, Tewksbury’s Tyler Bourgea and Natick’s Sam Hubbard both recorded their 100th points, with Hubbard’s coming as part of a four-goal, one-assist performance in a 6-1 win over Brookline.
Concord-Carlisle 157-pound wrestler Miles Mattaliano secured his 100th win during a 59-18 dual-meet victory over Lincoln-Sudbury.
Falmouth’s Gavin Powderly matched Hubbard’s four-goal day, dominating a 5-1 win over Martha’s Vineyard. Hat trick were harder to come by than most busy hockey nights, but Falmouth girls’ hockey had a pair of them as Casey Roth and Maeve Turner both finished with three goals in a 6-3 win over Nauset/Monomoy. Bedford senior James Nichol also had a hat trick in a 9-0 win over Cambridge, and Beverly’s Logan Bowen notched three goals in a 4-2 win over Peabody.
A lack of hat tricks means it was no surprise several goalies were impenetrable, led by Michael Bulkin, who made 34 saves for No. 10 Xaverian in a 3-0 win over No. 6 Catholic Memorial. Reading’s Owen Holland stopped a penalty shot among his saves as he recorded his fourth shutout, a 4-0 blanking of Watertown/Wayland.
Bishop Stang’s Carter Vane made 28 stops for his fourth shutout, a 6-0 win over Apponequet/Old Colony and Concord-Carlisle’s Sam Griswold posted a 24-save shutout in a 2-0 win over Acton-Boxborough. Westwood’s Naomi Sherman (6-0 vs. Canton), Bishop Feehan’s Logan Petrucci (6-0 vs. North Attleborough), and St. John Paul II’s Kelin MacAleese (2-0 vs. Dennis-Yarmouth) recorded shutouts, and Dedham’s Lily Zahka eclipsed the 1,000-save mark in a 2-1 win over Mansfield/Oliver Ames/Foxborough.
The night’s sudden-death winners belonged to Giovanna Gulinello, Nayli Thayer, and Liam Guilderson. Gulinello’s winner gave Billerica/Chelmsford a 3-2 win over Lincoln-Sudbury, Thayer’s put Milton past Marshfield, 3-2, and Guilderson’s OT winner lifted Belmont, 4-3, past Burlington.
3. Basketball leaderboard
The top performance of the day came from Lowell Catholic senior Brady Lynde, who dropped 33 in a 73-69 victory against Bedford.
But the most dominant performance belonged to Orlando sisters of Notre Dame (Hingham), who combined for 55 points in an 83-41 win over Arlington Catholic. Elle dropped 30, while Ava added 25.
Cole Rodgers scored 27 for Sandwich in an 81-56 win over Cape Cod Academy and Reading’s Jamal Palmer hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with six seconds left in a 67-64 win vs. Lynnfield.
RIP to the Voice of the Vikings, the incomparable Jim Lederman, a proud and driven supporter of all things Winthrop, his hometown. Lederman (Class of 1961) died Tuesday morning, at age 81, after recent health issues.
“He was unique, and very loyal,” said St. Mary’s football coach Sean Driscoll, a fellow Viking (‘86) who coached at his alma mater for 12 seasons and is the Park & Rec director in Winthrop. “You knew you were at Miller Field when you heard his voice [on the PA]. It was a special place to him. He always promoted Winthrop athletes, for awards, etc., he wrote letters to colleges for the kids . . . disappointing.”
Lederman’s passionate calls to the Globe’s high school desk, prominently during the fall and winter seasons, providing a score update, or saluting a young athlete’s “tremendous” performance, will be missed.
