“Last year, Heritage was very hype. It was really intense, everyone wants to beat Heritage,” said senior Katie Gray.
Heritage possesses great talent, but Gray believes that this matchup will result in a win for the Wolverines.
“This year, they have a really good senior pitcher, but we’re going to bring home the W.”

“I think we’ll be competitive for sure, and I think we’ll win,” said Hannah Emerson.

The 2014 home game
against Heritage proved to be the most exciting matchup for the baseball team last year.
“The biggest game was against Heritage at home last year,” said Alex Fernandez. “It was a great game.”

“I think it’s going to be a great game this year,” said Fernandez.

The men’s tennis team sets their bar high looking back on the motivating wins such as the Millbrook match during last year’s season.
“The match against Millbrook was big for us,” said senior Bo Boyden. “We played the twice in conference and then we beat them in the regional finals.”
This season the Wolverines plan to continue their winning tradition and continue the intense Wakefield, Millbrook rivalry.
“They’re saying we’re the two best teams in the state right know so our match will be a good match for sure,” said Boyden.

The Men’s lacrosse team is counting down the minutes until they get to go head to head again against Millbrook.
