Chowda Cup
In the spirit of the Beanpot, four South Shore boys' lacrosse squads will battle this week in the inaugural Chowda Cup Memorial Tournament at Scituate High.
The event kicks off Thursday as Sandwich tangles with Cohasset at 4 p.m., followed by Marshfield vs. Scituate at 6 p.m. The winners advance to Saturday's title game at 4 p.m., while the losers meet in a consolation game at 2 p.m.
Students are admitted for free, while parents are a $5 donation. Moneys raised from the event will support the four programs, along with funds set up for several local lacrosse players who have passed away, including Cohasset's PJ Trendowicz and Justin Langham, and Scituate's Ryan Flannery and Tim Mahoney.
"The Marshfield Rams lacrosse team is excited to be part of what looks to be a great annual event featuring competition between several great programs," said Marshfield coach Rick Peterson. "We were invited to participate by Rick Bagby and Bill Gray from Scituate and Stew Curran from Coahsset, who decided that a tournament between our programs would be great exposure for our players, as well as raise money for the memorial funds of several local players who have passed away. We look forward to this rivalry between our programs."
Marshfield and Scituate met last Thursday with the Sailors emerging with a thrilling 13-12 victory in overtime.
All games will count towards the teams record for the postseason tournament.

Look for updates from:
- Bob Holmes: A Reading resident (Go Rockets!) and Boston College graduate, Holmes is the Boston Globe High School Sports Editor. We remind you now that his weekly picks are often made in jest so everyone just calm down when he picks against Everett for 11 straight weeks.
- Mike Carraggi: An Everett native (Go Tide!), Mike attends Eastern Nazarene college and is entering his second year with the Globe. He'll focus on Division 1 this fall, which means he'll spend a lot of time in his hometown, which Forsberg thinks is cool because the Tide have that Fried Dough cart.
- Emily Wright: A Hyannis native (Go Barnstable Red Raiders!), Emily is a senior at Emerson College and has been with the Globe since the end of July. She'll cover Division 1A and will be the first intern we've trusted to navigate her way to Dennis-Yarmouth or any other school on the Cape.
- Mike Grossi: A Lexington native (Go Minutemen!), Mike attends Northeastern and has been with the Globe for two months. He'll cover Division 2 and 2A and unsuccessfully lobbied to include Lexington in the preseason Top 20.
- Jonathan Raymond: A native of Benicia, Calif. (a suburb of San Francisco), Jonathan attends Northeastern and has been working at the Globe since the end of June. He will be focusing on Division 3 and is likely woefully underprepared for covering a game in a foot of snow.
- David Carty: A native of West Bridgewater (Go Wildcats!), David is a senior at Emerson College and has been working at the Globe for a year. He'll cover Divisions 3A and 4 because, "small school ball is in my blood."
- The bench: You'll also catch updates from our regional contributors, including Globe North's Julian Benbow and South's Monique Walker. Correspondent Brendan Hall will have updates from the Globe West coverage area and will often try to sneak in Central Mass. news.
Our deepest thanks.
