THURSDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS

CLASS NOTES

The Greater Boston League voted unanimously, 6-0, to accept Lynn Classical and Lynn English as full members beginning in September, 2021. The two schools made it known last week that they wanted to leave the Northeastern Conference for the GBL.

The next step towards this merger will take place on November 20 when the principals and athletic directors of the Northeastern Conference come together to hold a vote that could allow Lynn Classical and Lynn English to officially leave the NEC and join the GBL.

“It was an easy decision and we are thrilled as a league that Lynn Classical and Lynn English wanted to become part of the Greater Boston League,” said Malden High School principal and GBL president Chris Mastrangelo. “We will become a stronger, eight-team league with these two great additions. Moving forward, we believe the GBL will be the premier, urban-based league in Massachusetts.

“The GBL has always been a league that understands the importance of healthy interscholastic competition and the role that it plays in providing student-athletes with crucial supports that are needed to achieve academic success.”

The Energy and Environmental Affairs Office (EEA) released today a revision to the recently released  workplace safety and reopening standards for business and other entities providing youth and adult amatuer sports activities.

Here is a summary of the updates which should provide additional and needed clarity to the MIAA member schools.

New exemption for masks: Low risk sports are exempt from wearing masks during active play when participants can consistently maintain at least 14 feet distance from each other throughout the duration of active play (singles tennis, when XC runners are more than 14 feet apart, a solo gymnastics performance).

Out-of-state border athletes or coaches are subject to the travel order: An individual athlete from a border state that plays on a Massachusetts based team primarily made up of Massachusetts athletes is subject to the travel order. This means that any player who comes into the state from a non-low risk state has to test or quarantine every time the player enters.

A student from another state being educated in Massachusetts can participate in school affiliated sports in Massachusetts and is not subject to the travel order: but only school-related athletics. They aren’t exempt from the travel order to play in a private league, for example.

Massachusetts-based teams or Massachusetts-based athletes and coaches that choose to travel must comply with the MA travel order: if a player or team does not comply, the team or individual risks suspension of play/games.

Out-of-state travel is strongly discouraged. This means that if a MA team or player/coach travels to a non-low risk state, they have to test or quarantine when they come back to MA before they can return to work or school.

BOYS SOCCER

Senior captain John Christie buried the game’s lone goal, and Wes Perrotto completed the shutout in net as Pembroke knocked off top-seeded Marshfield, 1-0, in the Patriot Cup. …Tyler George netted the game-winner with 10 minutes remaining, and also added an assist to power Scituate to the semifinals with a 2-1 victory over Hingham. … Senior Charlie Ballerene scored his first varsity goal three minutes into double overtime to lift Duxbury over Whitman-Hanson, 3-2.

Colin Hargraves and Ethan Machado scored as Durfee advanced to the Southeastern Conference semifinals with a 2-0 win over Bridgewater-Raynham.

GIRLS SOCCER

The Canton and Foxboro girls soccer teams thought their season was over after they were forced to forfeit opening round games due to quarantine.

The Hockomock League athletic directors were able to come up with a solution which allowed those two teams to return to the pitch. As Canton and Foxboro honor their quarantine, the Hockomock Cup will continue with its scheduled games into next week to determine a league champion.

What the athletic directors did was create a Challenge Cup bracket in which Canton and Foxboro would play each other on November 19. The winner of that game will then face the Hockomock Cup champion on November 20 for the Challenge Cup title.

VOLLEYBALL

Allie Calabro collected 12 digs, six aces and six kills while Eileen Bussiere added eight kills as Hanover edged Scituate, 3-2, in the Patriot Cup.
