The Watertown High School golf team may not have had its best season in terms of wins and losses, but the players still received statewide recognition.

The team had a lot of newcomers because the Raiders lost so many players to graduation that they did not have enough experienced players to field a team for Middlesex League matches. The veterans went out of their way to welcome new players and show them the ropes.
