CCHS Girls Lacrosse: Battling for Middle Ground

The Patriots went 1-2 in last week's lacrosse action.

The following was provided on behalf of the Concord-Carlisle High School girls lacrosse program. It’s been a tough season for the CCHS Girls Lacrosse team. With only one senior starter returning and several young, athletic but inexperienced varsity players in the 2013 lineup, Coach Morrison knew in many respects this would be a re-building year for his team. What was not expected however, were the injuries which continued to pile up and plague the team. With four starters out this week, the timing could not have been worse for CC as they faced Dual County League rival Wayland. Going into Monday’s game the Warriors were 8-1-1, with only a 14-8 loss to undefeated Westford Academy and a 12-12 tie to the Patriots. With starting center Hannah …

POLL: What Were Your Favorite Super Bowl Ads?

What were your favorite ads from Super Bowl 46? Take our poll or share your pick in the comments section below.

The Patriots’ last-minute drive wasn’t the only thing that fell short last night during Super Bowl 46. This year’s lineup of advertisements was like Gronk’s ankle: questionable. And today, as the Monday morning quarterbacks out there rehash Tom Brady’s imperfections, plenty of casual fans around coffee shops and water coolers will be dissecting the commercials, as well. While the immediate reaction was that this year’s ads collectively didn’t stack up against some storied lineups from the past, a few have been garnering positive reviews across the interwebs. Bud Light, for instance, played to both frat boys and animal lovers in its ad featuring Weego, a rescue dog who brings cold ones when called.  And the brown M&M scored points for …

About Town

Saints and Strangers

Could you be a descendant, too?

  Good morning and welcome to the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, one of the busiest travel days of the year. There will be nearly 42.5 million holiday travelers today and undoubtedly, a few of them will be coming here to Concord for Thanksgiving. Of course in the morning, well before Thanksgiving dinner, CCHS will be the place to be for the Patriots' game against Bedford. Our Patriots are undefeated, as you know, and it’s always good to watch a winning team. And yes, I know. I know. I know. The feature photo accompanying this post is pathetic, and I apologize.

More Bad Luck Befalls C-C Baseball

Patriots battle back, but lose to Bedford in eighth inning.

In a season seemingly filled with bad luck and worse bounces, the Concord-Carlisle High School baseball was bitten by both yet again on Wednesday afternoon. Trailing by two runs for most of their game against Bedford High School, the visiting Patriots tied the game in the top of the seventh inning, only to see the Buccaneers push the winning across in the bottom of the eighth for the 3-2 victory. The loss dropped C-C to a tough-luck 0-6 on the season. “Four and maybe five out of the six games have been respectable,” Patriots coach John Kelly said. “There was some bad luck in the first game against Billerica, but after that we’ve played everybody well.” Down two entering their final turn at bat, Andrew Della Volpe led off the top of the …
