PHOTOS: Medfield Girls' Hoops Win 8th Straight

Medfield beat Bellingham, 69-39 Tuesday.

Tuesday's 69-39 win over Bellingham was a good example of the type of team the Medfield High School girls' basketball squad can be when they are at their best. "We are balanced," said Medfield head coach Mark Nickerson. "We had three players in double figures (Lauren Petit, Kate Thomas and Payton Ouimette). We are aggressive defensively in both the full and half-court; we had 17 steals and converted many of them into lay-ups. And we are efficient on offense; 28 for 61 from the floor (shooting 46 percent for the game.) When we are playing our best, we are tough to beat." Medfield raced out to a 16-0 lead in the first quarter before Bellingham hit three consecutive three-pointers to close the gap, 16-9 before the quarter closed with the …

PHOTOS: Medfield Field Hockey Swept by Dover-Sherborn in Season Series

For the second time this season, Medfield was shut out by Dover-Sherborn; losing 2-0 Friday.

Entering Friday's game, the Medfield field hockey team had just one loss in 10 Tri-Valley League games this season – a 1-0 loss to Dover-Sherborn on Sept. 27. On Friday, Medfield suffered its second TVL loss of the year, a 2-0 defeat to D-S at the MHS Turf.

Medfield Girls' Volleyball Sweeps Norton to Open 2011 Season

Medfield head coach Jack Hastings calls team a "work in progress" despite winning their 62nd straight match Wednesday, defeating Norton, 3-0.

The Medfield High School girls’ volleyball team won its 62nd straight game Wednesday, sweeping Norton, 3-0 to begin its Division 2 state title defense. But Medfield head coach Jack Hastings isn’t concerned with past achievements or historic winning streaks, he’s focused on the 2011 Warriors, who he says have a lot of work to do. “There really isn’t a whole lot of strengths yet [from this year’s squad],” Hastings said. “It’s still a work in progress.” Strange to call a team who has won three straight state championships and a program that has won six state titles since 1998 a work in progress, but Hastings says the team’s player turnover from last year has put a lot of new faces on the court. “It’s a strong program … in the past,” Hastings …
