Fall season student athletes received varsity letters and athletic awards during the Fall Sports Awards Ceremony Monday at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium.

Team captains and coaches thanked parents, coaches, teammates and the athletic administration and gave brief summaries of each team’s season.

Some speakers highlighted specific accomplishments the teams made throughout the season.

The fall dance team, in its second year at this school, won the State Championship and won first and second place trophies at other competitions.

“We hit quite a few bumps in the road, and looking back, the girls learned some valuable lessons, growing as dancers and as people,” said coach Stephanie Hubbard.

Girls’ cross country qualified for All-States for the first time since 2004, where they placed seventh.

“This was a satisfying and fulfilling team to work with,” said coach Brandon Mogayzel.  “We couldn’t have had this season without such a high-spirited and dedicated team.”

Boys’ cross country placed first in the Bay State Conference Championship and accomplished its goal of beating Brookline, according to coach Jim Blackburn. Blackburn was named coach of the year by the Boston Globe.

Field hockey made the postseason before losing to Masconomet 1-0 Friday, Nov. 2 in overtime, after a controversial call let the opposing team tie the game.

Girls’ volleyball beat four undefeated teams this season, who combined had a record of 81-0 before facing the Tigers, according to coach Richard Barton. Barton was also named

coach of the year by the Globe.

Football will be playing at home Thursday against Brookline in the annual Thanksgiving game. Coach Peter Capodilupo said, “We consider ourselves lucky to have one more chance this season to go out there and be with the people in this room.”
