Week in Review 12/29-1/4

Girls Basketball played, what many have said, The Massachusetts game of the year. It was #1 vs. #2 as the Bishops took on the Wamps of Braintree. It was a back and forth game, with both teams having their shining moments. Unfortunately when the final buzzer rang the Lady Bishops were just a few points short and lost to Braintree.

Boys Basketball had a great week as they added three games to the win column. The boys played together and very hard. They fought from behind and played solid defense, rarely letting any opponent run threw their defense. With such a great week the boys have reached a record of .500.

Girls Hockey had their first loss of the season to Arlington Catholic Saturday night. The ladies had a big week also having to face Hanover/Cohasset, Weymouth and Walpole. Theybeat Weymouth and Hanover/Cohasset. The girls fought hard against their out of league opponent, Walpole, and ended the game in a tie.    

Boys Hockey had a light week, only having to take the ice once. They traveled up to Stoneham Arena to take on Austin Prep. The Bishops fought hard for three solid periods against the Cougars but with less than a minute left in the game AP put in the game winner. 

Track and Field had their first win of the season against Marian at the Reggie Lewis Center. Their were eight first place finishes in total between the girls and boys team! The great work didn't stop there. The Freshman/Sophomore meet was also a strong one for the Bishops. Julia McRoberts placed 8th in the Shot Put and Anand Panigrahy also placed 8th in the Long Jump. There were 11 athletes who accomplished personal bests at this meet!

The swim team lost a tough one to Matignon/Mount Saint Joseph. Their were still some big performances; Senior Captain, Victoria Butterfield's three first place finishes in the 200 Medley Relay (butterfly), 200 Individual Medley and 100 Butterfly. Sophomore Colleen O’Callaghan and freshman Joe-Yee Yip finished first and second place in the 100 breaststroke. Seventh grader Teddy Rossini stepped up against his older competitors and finished second in the 50 Free.
