WORCESTER — Sometimes a moment leaves you grasping for words, unable to form full sentences. Several feelings flowing all at once — triumph, exhilaration, pride, a sense of relief, and pure joy.

Watertown High School’s field hockey team has been streaking towards the program’s 21st State Championship in 2023.
