FRANKLIN – The Medfield High School boys' hockey team knocked off Tri-Valley League rival Westwood Wednesday, 3-1, to sweep the season series with the Wolverines.

Miscues Plague Medfield in 28-7 Loss to Westwood

Medfield falls to 0-2 in Tri-Valley League Large Division with 21-point loss to Westwood Thursday.

Three bad snaps on special teams and three offensive turnovers plagued the Medfield High School football team Thursday in a 28-7 loss to Westwood. In two league games this season, Medfield (1-4, 0-2) has been outscored 70-21 and has struggled offensively converting possessions into points. On Thursday, it was lack of execution on special teams that contributed to the team's second straight TVL Large Division loss. “The biggest challenge was we had a bad snap,” Medfield head coach Erik Ormberg said. “I’m more concerned about our bad snaps and special teams than I am the offense. We didn’t really give the offense a chance because of a couple big mistakes on special teams.” On three punt attempts, Medfield had two snaps sail over the punter’s…
