Whooohooooooo!!!
that is all.
Whoa!
I had to reread this headline, not only because of the usual punsterism but because the Wolfpack actually has a winning team. Who knew? How did this happen? Good Luck to them!
When these current players were being born, my boys were playing on losing BLS soccer teams who went years without even a tie. We, players and parents, were the butt of the Dual County League's jokes and scorn, filled with envy when we traveled to their fancy fields in Concord, Wayland and Weston. BLS didn't even have a field. Instead the kids schlepped to practice in Cleveland Circle, via the Green Line, carrying their equipment and their book-laden book bags on their backs.
But, the BLS kids played with heart and brains and always made us proud. We used to chant, "We're number 1" (in MCAS)!

I love it Adam! Thank you.
True confession time
Went with the kidlet, who decided that a tournament game in her senior year was a good reason to go to her first BLS sports event (with her second possibly being the BLS/English football game at Fenway Park; no she's not a sports fan). Figured I might as well take my camera.
Was a fun game (at first, Gloucester seemed to have much fancier moves, but BLS never really let them get into a rhythm or even get the ball all that much).
We wound up sitting with all the Gloucester fans, who were seriously into it (you'd have to be, some of them had 90-minute drives from Cape Ann) - they already knew all the players' names and stuff (while we had to keep referring to the sheet of player numbers we had, except for the couple of people the kidlet's known since elementary school - and one kid in her homeroom). Also, somebody from Gloucester seemed to be broadcasting the game live on radio.
Wait...
Your kidlet is a senior?? Not possible. Am I losing my mind--didn't she just start?
Likely story
Admit it, you just didn't want to go to a BLS sports event until there was an awesome new $18m field to host the game.
I'm glad to see that the new field will be used by a wider swatch of the city that just the WR education complex. Better use of money.
Wolfpack Attack!
My Chicago high school's totem/slogan. But we didn't have much choice on that score at St. Ignatius (de Loyola (look it up!)).
We had a men's four competing in the junior division at the Head of the Charles this year (astounding to me some forty plus years later that there's a crew team). They came in dead last after being fouled under the BU bridge just after the starting line, but managed to replace a resulting broken oar and finish. AMDG! (I guess).
