Charlie BreitroseThe Raiders celebrate scoring a second period goal against Dedham in the State Tournament. A second period scoring burst sent the Watertown High School boys hockey on the way to an 8-1 victory over Dedham, and moved on to a round that the Raiders haven’t reached in several years. With the win, second-seeded Watertown reached the Round of 8 in the Div. 4 State Tournament, the equivalent of the Section final under MIAA’s old system. The Raiders last made it that far in 2016.
The lights on the trees on the Columbus Delta in Watertown Square will shine blue and yellow on March 13 in honor of the Day of Solidarity for the People of Ukraine. The City Council approved the proclamation on March 8 supporting Ukraine and said that the Russian military forces and President Vladimir Putin violated international law by invading the country. The proclamation reads, in part: “As the Ukrainian People face this unprovoked invasion of their country, we commend their strength, courage, and bravery in their fight for freedom; and, Watertown stands and offers support and solidarity to our neighbors with Ukrainian roots.”
See the details below:

Charlie BreitroseWatertown senior Tyler Timperio scored 27 points in the Raiders win over North Reading in the State Tournament. It took some time for the members of the Watertown boys basketball team to find their shooting touch, but when they did the Raiders rained down the three pointers and put away North Reading in the Round of 16 MIAA Div. 3 State Tournament game Tuesday night. The first half saw most of the Raiders shots from behind the arc miss. The only player with a three pointer was senior Tyler Timperio.

A State Tournament game that was neck and neck most of the way appeared to be slipping away for the Watertown High School girls basketball team, falling behind six points with about two minutes left. But, the team and the WHS Gym came to life as the Raiders closed the game and senior Sophia Garapetian completed the comeback with a drive straight down the lane. When the final buzzer sounded, Watertown’s players came together on the court to celebrate their 54-52 win over Norton in the MIAA Div. 3 Round of 16 game, and kept their season alive.
