Hanover High boys rugby caps dominant season with state title
MILTON — The Hanover High boys rugby won one of the inaugural rugby titles in 2017 when it was adopted as an official MIAA sport. The road to a second one has been arduous. That is until Saturday, June 14, when the Hawks left no doubt who the best team in Div. 2 is with a 59-7 win over Brookline at Curry College. Advertisement "We've had some strong teams over the years but this is hands down the most talented,' said Hanover coach Andrew McLean. 'Today was as close to perfect as we've been all season.' Hanover has reached the state semifinals every single tournament since 2017, including three losses in the final. This season, the Hawks finish 0-0 while outscoring opponents 404-69. Hanover never allowed more than 14 points in a single and the Hawks won their two playoff games by a score of 113-12. On Saturday it was all Hawks from start to finish. Lochlan Garvey started the scoring with a try four minutes into play. He converted all but two of his conversion kicks and had a pair of passes to spring teammates Camden Scott and Daniel McAvay for tries late in the second half. Advertisement 'That was probably Lochlan's best game for us,' said McLean. Garvy, a senior captain, is just one piece of a loaded senior class. McLean substituted Aidan Boutin and John Keegan late so the crowd could acknowledge them for stellar four-year careers. Hanover High School captains Aidan Boutin, Lochlan Garvey and Juneau Mofford hold the state championship trophy as they celebrate at the conclusion of their championship game against Brookline High School at Curry College on Saturday, June 14, 2025. Love'on Flowers, a senior flanker, scored a pair of tries. David Bonilla and Juneau Mofford each had one try. Matthew Ellerby, a junior, was the only non-senior to score for the Hawks. 'I can't overstate what a big class that's been for the whole program,' said McLean, who said that most of his 17 seniors will continue to play rugby in college. One senior who did not play but his importance cannot be overlooked is Noah Balewicz. He was diagnosed with lymphoma at the start of the season and has not suited up this spring as he undergoes treatment. Advertisement Following the victory, the Hawks presented Balewicz with a framed jersey. Hanover High School's Juneau Mofford scores against Brookline High School during the championship game at Curry College on Saturday, June 14, 2025. "He doesn't like the limelight so I probably just embarrassed him,' said McLean. 'He's doing great but any cancer treatment takes its toll on you. We're so happy he could be here today.' Balewicz also played football and competed in wrestling. 'As the season has gone on and we've found out how well he's been doing with his treatment and with how strong he's been, it's morphed more into inspiration,' said McLean. 'We just wanted to give him a little something from the team even though he's not playing, he's always part of the team.'

His curveball wasn't turning. His changeup wouldn't dip. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up But he trusted his gut through a bases-loaded jam in the top of the first, and completed all seven innings in shutout fashion, clinching the ninth-seeded Hornets (20-4) a spot in the state championship at Polar Park. 'My arm couldn't feel any better,' Quan said. 'Wasn't the best start, had the bases loaded, but I have a great staff. My pitching coach over there, my coaches and my teammates, they helped me keep the ball low and that seemed to be effective.' The North Reading baseball team is headed to the Division 3 championship game after taking down Wakefield, Dietz Advertisement Quan only registered two strikeouts but limited No. 13 Wakefield (18-6) to zero runs on four walks and five hits. 'Honestly, the key to the game for him was those first three innings,' North Reading coach Eric Archambault said. 'I think they had base runners in all three innings, and for him to be able to work out of those jams — I mean, if they rip a double there it's a completely different game.'

Jason Curran scored on a passed ball, and Gavin Brady raced home on a sacrifice bunt by Max Forristall. North Reading players swarm the mound to celebrate their 6-0 win over Wakefield Wednesday at Fraser Field in Marra Photography Archambault wisely chose to intentionally walk Wakefield junior Jack Pennacchia whenever he stepped up to bat. Andrew Nemec led the Warriors with a single and a double. 'We just weren't going to let [Pennacchia] beat us,' Archambault said. 'He is such a phenomenal player. I've seen him in person, seen his highlights, talked to a few people and I know he's a key cog when he gets going.'

Westford's Ryan Kyle clears the competition, shattering his own state record in 400 hurdles at Meet of Champions
Squaring off against the state's top competition at Fitchburg State, Kyle left the boys' 400 hurdles field in the dust a stunning time of 51.72 seconds, finishing nearly two full seconds ahead of runner-up Luke Lamar of Pembroke (53.43). Advertisement Kyle's time shaved another half-second off his own state record, and obliterated the previous Meet of Champions mark (53.53) set by New Bedford's Aaron Araujo in 2010. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'These last couple years, I've learned not to put limits on the times I can run or the achievements I can get,' Kyle said. 'Once I beat the state record at the league championships, I knew I could keep climbing. I don't know if I thought I'd beat that time by a second, but it definitely feels good to do so.' Natick's Nolan Cloutier clears 12-feet, 6-inches in pole vault, finishing seventh. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff The other state record Thursday came from Sharon junior Nina Kyei-Aboagye, who blazed to victory in the 200 (23.28 seconds) to edge out runner-up Breanna Braham of Dennis-Yarmouth (23.63). The two sprinters both smashed the meet record of 24.31, which had stood since 2019. Kyei-Aboagye's time marked a half-second personal best, and eclipsed the previous state record of 23.32 by four hundredths of a second. Advertisement 'Breanna always pushes me in every race, so I just knew what I had to do today,' Kyei-Aboagye said. 'It really helps to have someone else at that level, because you know where you have to be. You know she's going to be right there.' Central Catholic's Arianna DiPietro clears the bar in the high jump prelims. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff The punishing heat presented a major challenge for all the athletes, but no event faced a harder task than the 2-mile. Marblehead's Nate Assa knew the entire field would be weary of burning out due to the heat — and he planned to be aggressive early on. Sure enough, the race's moderate early pace played right into Assa's hands. He took the lead in the opening half-mile and gave it up, outlasting the pack in an impressive 9:14.52. 'I knew everyone would be kind of sluggish because of the heat, so I was really hoping to go fast off the gun,' Assa said. 'Coming off the turn 300 meters in, the clock was at 62 [seconds]. So I knew we were going slow, so I took over, and I led the whole race till the finish.' Fitchburg, MA- 6/5/25- Nicholas Begic of Lincoln-Sudbury, center, wins the 200-meter dash during the MIAA's Meet of Champions at Fitchburg State University on June 5, 2025. (Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff) Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff After securing a double-victory in the 400 and 400 hurdles at last year's outdoor Meet of Champions, North Reading senior Giuliana Ligor entered her final MIAA meet with high expectations. But Ligor knew she could not enter the 400 hurdles overconfident, especially given the recent emergence of Weston junior Solana Varela — who lost to Ligor by just 0.3 seconds at last week's Division 5 meet. Valera broke well and held an early advantage Thursday, but Ligor slammed the door around the final turn to win in 1:00.06, with Varela (1:02.13) placing second.
