Both teams are gearing up for their next competition at the South Shore League Championships on February 3.

Undefeated Girls Varsity Gymnastics Team

The Girls Varsity Gymnastics Team, a co-op with Hingham, continues to impress as they remain undefeated this season. Although their competition against Pembroke High School on January 24 was canceled, the team showcased their skills by defeating Hanover on January 28 with a score of 135-126.5.

Girls Varsity Basketball on a Winning Streak

The Girls Varsity Basketball team is enjoying a successful run, having won their last two games convincingly. They dominated Nantucket with a score of 60-23 on Saturday and followed it up with a close 40-34 victory over Minuteman Regional High School on Monday. With a current record of 7-5, the team is building momentum as they head into the latter part of the season. Their hard work and teamwork are clearly paying off, and fans are excited to see how they will perform in their upcoming games.

Boys Basketball Faces Challenges

After a close 64-62 loss to South Shore Charter on Wednesday and a significant defeat to Rockland the day before (75-41), the team’s record now stands at 5-10.
