Wellesley skiers claim title
After knocking on the door of a state title for several years, Wellesley separated itself from the pack to bring home the title at the Berkshire East Ski Area in Charlemont.
Led by Tim Brick, who finished first in the slalom with a time of 33.08, the Raiders finally came out on top. Brick also finished fourth in the giant slalom (49.88), won by North Andover’s Kris Hopkins (47.91). Longmeadow finished second, 62 points behind Wellesley. St. John’s Prep, Hingham, and BC High rounded out the top five.
In the girls’ competition, EMass dominated, bringing home the top five spots in the team competition at Berkshire East. Marblehead finished first, followed by Masconomet, Concord-Carlisle, Andover, and Acton-Boxboro. Marblehead’s Ryan Hefferin won the giant slalom in 52.79 and Waltham’s Danielle Scanlon (34.44) took the slalom.

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.
