Watertown Field Hockey Team Claims Another Section Title

By |

On a day where the wind chill dipped temperatures into the 30s and snowflakes could be seen, the Watertown High School field hockey team came out red hot – defeating Manchester-Essex 4-0 for the MIAA Div. 2 North Section championship. The matchup was billed as a tough one for the seven-time defending state champs – and a threat to the team’s record unbeaten streak. The Hornets (17-2-2) came off wins of 5-0 and 3-1 behind the goal scoring of Robert Carter (yes, a boy on the girls’ field hockey team). Just four minutes into the game at North Andover High School, however, Watertown sophomore Sydney Poulin jumped on a ball that popped in the air, and batted it down into the Manchester-Essex net.

Stoneham Too Big a Hurdle for Watertown Football to Overcome

By |

STONEHAM – The Raiders valiantly tried to catch up to Stoneham after falling behind in the first half, but could not overcome the Spartans in the battle for the Div. 4 North Section football title, Friday night. Watertown had beat Stoneham at Victory Field last month, but the second time was not the charm. A potent Spartan running attack and errors by the Raiders proved costly. The Raiders found themselves down 20-0 late in the first half after a 53-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Cann to Tim Russell, a fumble returned 22-yards for a score by Shane Collins and a long drive ending in a 4-yard touchdown run by Evan Taylor.

9/11 Truth Group Hosts Filmmaker at Showing of Film in Watertown

By |

The Boston 9/11 Truth group will host a free film showing featuring the filmmaker on Nov. 19 at the Watertown Free Library. The group send out the following announcement:

In the 11+/- seconds it takes to read this sentence, each Twin Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed 1400+/- feet, at near free fall speed through 100K tons of structural steel framing. Unknown to most Americans, WTC Building 7, a 47 story skyscraper, not hit by a plane, also fell that day, in less than 7 seconds at free fall acceleration. Fundamental questions remain regarding the 2004 official NIST report on 911, whose conclusions challenge the basic laws of physics, building science and engineering principles.

Follow the Action from WHS Football’s Section Final at Stoneham

By |

The Raiders take on Stoneham Friday night in the Div. 4 North Section final beginning at 7 p.m.

The Middlesex League foes played three weeks ago at Victory Field and Watertown came out on top 21-14. The win and a better record, however, did not guarantee the Raiders (6-3) a better seed than the Spartans (5-4). Both teams had some upsets along the way, but with the fifth seed, Stoneham got to host the section final. Watertown has been lead by junior quarterback Deon Smith, who has scored numerous time on the ground, and added more touchdowns through the air.

Town Council Votes to Close One Entrance to Road Near Arsenal Street

By |

Residents of Beacon Park will not have to worry about their street becoming a cut through for traffic from the new apartment complexes on Arsenal Street. 

Tuesday night, the Town Council voted to close off the entrance to the Beacon Park off Arsenal Street. The small street has two other entrances on North Beacon Street. Residents worked with the town and with District B Councilor Cecilia Lenk to close off access, said Beacon Park resident Dan Clark. “It is an example of local government working great,” Clark said. Another resident of the street, Bob Menton, said the traffic from the current light and another one being installed for the new apartment complex at 202-204 Arsenal Street would back up past the entrance to Beacon Park, making it difficult to get out.
