Previewing The Westwood Game
Tonight, the undefeated football team will face off against Westwood at home. Medfield has not started the season 2-0 since 2005, and that year they started 6-0 and didn't give up a single point until game four. Before 2005 you would have to go back to 2002 to find the only other 2-0 start of the past decade.
Tonight is a critical early season match-up for the Warriors, as it is their first TVL Large game of the year. Westwood has also started the year on a strong note. The Wolverines come in to this game with a 1-1 record and are currently the 20th ranked team on ESPN High School Boston's poll. Westwood upset traditional power-house Needham 36-26 in their first game of the year and last week lost a very close game with 19th ranked King Philip 7-0.
Slowing down Westwood will be a huge factor for the Warriors tonight. "Its sticking to the game plan. We have to beat them with our speed and play fundamentally sound football," said starting quarterback Stephen Ledogar.
The QB also added that not giving up any big plays, along with limiting their high end players will go a long way for the team.
The game starts at 7:00 at home and for students, there will be a $1 tail-gate that starts at 5:30.

Going into yesterday's match with Westwood, Medfield was still looking for a statement win on the links. After coming up short against Hopkinton last week, the Warriors bounced back with a solid win over Dover-Sherborn.
Yesterday, Medfield put it all together and topped Westwood 224-236 at Ponkapog. The top pair of Brett Thomas and Dan Neidermire won their group by eight strokes. Neidermire finished even (35), while Thomas posted a two over 37, despite triple bogeying the 6th hole. Thomas birdied holes 3, 5, and 9 and Neidermire bogeyed one hole (8) and birded one hole (9).
The shot of the day was found at the 5th green. Junior Joey Ingoldsby, playing in his first match of the year, drilled a 15 foot putt to save par. He hit an equally impressive putt on the previous hole, according to playing partner Pat Lawler. Ingoldsby shot a four over 39.
Next up for Medfield is Bellingham on Monday at Bungay Brook.

Mustangs Run Circles Around Boys Soccer
From the outset of yesterday's game, a rematch of last fall's Eastern Mass Championship game, Medway controlled the play. Passes were crisp and on target and when they had scoring opportunities, they finished.
Medway got on the board with a goal just seven minutes into the game. A shot on the turf found its way into the far side of the cage, past Medfield goalie sophomore Matt Johnson. Minutes later, the Mustangs added their second tally. This came off what looked to be a deflection. Johnson had no chance.
Medway's third goal of the half was the result of a nice passing play that started near midfield. Medway picked their way though the Medfield defense before getting a shot off that didn't miss.
Before the end of the half, Medway made it 4-0 and if there was any doubt before, that goal sealed the deal.
The Mustangs scored their prettiest goal of the contest just minutes into the second half. A shot about 15 yards out picked the top right corner. It was a perfectly placed ball and Johnson again had no chance.
To be honest, it could have been 8/9-0. Despite the score, Johnson did make some big saves. Medfield failed to record a shot on cage until deep into the second half.
Next up for the Warriors is a tough Holliston team on Friday night.

Golf Falls To Hop-Town
In an early season showdown on the golf schedule, the Warriors faced Hopkinton, one of the Tri Valley League's top programs. Medfield fell to the Hillers 250-228 at Hopkinton Country Club, this afternoon.
Not one Medfield golfer won their respective match, as Hopkinton had six players shoot in the 30's (9 holes). Captain Brett Thomas was the only Warrior under the 40 plateau, posting a 36. His competitor shot 33.
Thomas said, "the way they played today, they could beat any team in the league. It was a blowout. We played awful."
The main issue on the links today, put simply by Brett was "we didn't have enough low scores, easy as that. It's a team game and right now we just don't have the depth"
Depth will come as the season progresses and next up for the 1-1-0 golf squad is Dover-Sherborn, tomorrow. DS was barely edged by Hopkinton, as just three strokes separated the two teams.
