There’s always another game is a common-used cliche in sports, but come tournament-time that couldn’t be further from the truth. On this night, either the Bears of Greater New Bedford (GNB), the No. 4 seed at 17-4, or the Raiders of Watertown, the No. 13 seed at 10-2-7, would be left with no choice but to look back on a successful season, but left feeling empty. Unfortunately, it’s the Raiders left feeling that way after coming up short at Greater New Bedford 4-2 in the MIAA Div. 3 Round of 16 Boys Soccer Tournament.

The past several months have been tough for businesses in Coolidge Square with the road construction and utility work on Mt. Auburn Street. While the project is expected to last another three years, heavy construction is largely done until spring and City and construction officials have committed to improving communication with business owners.
During the week of Nov. 10 some areas of Mt. Auburn Street will be closed and traffic will be detoured as road reconstruction continues in East Watertown. See details provided by the City of Watertown, below.
