Walpole overcomes lackluster season to win back-to-back South sectional golf titles; Feehan's Hanley Correia is medalist
The Timberwolves pulled away from the field on a sunny, warm Tuesday afternoon, winning a second straight sectional crown with a 371 score, besting the Red Hawks (389) and Duxbury (394). Bishop Feehan junior Hanley Correia was the individual medalist with a 2-over-par 74. 'I told them after our last match, we lost to Needham, that the season hadn't gone the way I expected,' said second-year Walpole coach Vivian Kolovos, a Barnstable graduate. 'I'm so pleasantly surprised that this happened today and they all pulled through. It's just amazing.' Advertisement 'This year we kind of struggled,' said Walpole junior Tori Adams, who shot a team-best 84, finishing tied for third with Barnstable's Meghan Garthee. 'We didn't know what to expect. Some of the teams here beat us in the league. But I knew the girls would stick together and we played great.'

'To be honest, I didn't think we'd [win] it,' Nosal said. 'We had a tough week when we lost a couple of matches and we practiced a lot. Today, we all gave it our all and we did it. It's crazy.'

(Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff) Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff About five hours before Walpole wrapped up its title, Correia finished her round three strokes ahead of Callie Crean of Hingham (77), who joined her in the first group off the tees. Correia, who won the sectional title as a freshman, bounced back from a fifth-place finish last year, when a 10 on the par-5 14th hole knocked her out of contention. So when she returned to that hole Tuesday, she took a breath and followed up a strong drive with a pin-high approach shot and putted out for the birdie, a six-shot improvement. It was Correia's second birdie of the day, following up on a strong drive on the par-4, 235-yard No. 10, where she cleared a row of trees to her right with a hybrid driver, allowing her to finish the back nine at 1-under after a 3-over front nine. 'It wasn't a good day for my approach shots, but luckily my chipping was good and I was able to come back with that,' she said. 'My chipping really saved me today.' Bishop Feehan junior Hanley Correia (right) accepts her medal for winning the individual title at the South sectional golf championship at Maplegate Country Club in Bellingham. Brendan Kurie Correia has been playing since she was old enough to hold a club, learning the game at MGA Links in Norton (now The Links at Mass Golf), where she played with her older brother Chad, now a freshman at Bryant. Her father, Rod Correia, was a standout baseball player at Dighton-Rehoboth and UMass Dartmouth who went on to play 84 games with the California Angels from 1993-95, and her mother, Martha, was a former professional figure skater. Advertisement When Correia finished her round, some of her competitors were still on the third hole, so she spent her afternoon doing homework at a local Starbucks before returning to find out if her score stood up. 'I knew I was in contention. I didn't know if I'd end up pulling through,' she said. 'I'm happy my work paid off. It's a grind balancing schoolwork and practice every day. After I won it my freshman year I felt I had a reputation to keep up. I just hope I win it again next year.'

Bacteria advisory issued for 2 Cape Cod ponds: What's safe and what to avoid
Authorities have issued advisories for two Cape Cod ponds, warning that pets should not be allowed to drink from or swim in the water. Humans can continue swimming in the ponds, but should stay aware of algae blooms, keep their distance and take care not to ingest pond water. The two advisories cover Hamblin Pond in Marstons Mills and Bearses Pond in Centerville, two villages in the town of Barnstable. Cyanobacteria, more commonly known as blue-green algae, may be in both bodies of water, according to Barnstable Water Resources. The bacteria are commonly found in the ponds of Cape Cod and other freshwater systems. In the right conditions, they can multiply rapidly and become harmful to humans. Warming water temperatures due to climate change have increased the prevalence of dangerous bacterial growths, according to the Association to Preserve Cape Cod. Pets and other animals should not be allowed to enter the two ponds nor eat pond scum that washes up on shore, the advisories issued this week read. If swimming in the water, people should stay away from algae and scum. Parents should keep children away from algae in the water or on shore. People should also avoid drinking water from the ponds or using it for cooking. 'Avoid contact, particularly incidental ingestion of pond water that can occur during swimming,' the Association to Preserve Cape Cod warned Saturday. 'Dogs and children are especially susceptible to cyanotoxins through ingestion.' For fish caught from the ponds, authorities recommended throwing away the guts and cleaning the fillets with tap or bottled water before cooking. Do not eat shellfish from the affected ponds. People who spot a potential algae bloom in a Cape Cod pond should notify their local board of health and alert the association by emailing cyano@ Over 15,000 customers without power on Cape Cod amid spring nor'easter GoFundMe set up for family of Cape Cod teen killed in post-prom crash Funeral announced for Cape Cod high school senior, 18, killed in crash after prom Does fresh water lie beneath the Atlantic Ocean?

When Brady Kundel isn't playing piano or acting, he's setting Barnstable boys' volleyball up for success
'When I came in here, the team was extremely separated,' said Kundel, now a junior captain. '[Now], everyone's a part of the team, everybody's a full group, a whole family, and that's what I kind of love.' In the offseason, the 6-foot-3-inch outside hitter made time for team bonding opportunities between football practices and traveling to Taiwan with the Chinese Honor Society by hosting dinners and playing volleyball in the backyard. It turned the program around. The Red Hawks flipped a 5-15 record his sophomore season into a 15-5 mark last spring, securing their first postseason berth under the statewide tournament format. Advertisement Brady Kundel with a kill as Barnstable tries to force a fifth set — AJ (@aj_traub) They started the season 0-2, but Kundel's leadership motivated the team to earn a hard-fought win on Friday at Millis in five sets. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'Last game, I was not happy, I was not hyped up,' said freshman middle hitter Leayon Brooks . 'But then during practices, he was hyping me up. He hyped the whole team up today and we won, we got the W.' 'His leadership on and off the court signifies the type of person he is,' added coach Marylou Robles . 'To have a good balance with schoolwork is also important. He sets the tone to his teammates.' Barnstable junior captain Brady Kundel celebrates winning a point against Greater New Bedford. Barry Chin/Globe Staff As Kundel works toward his goal of making Barnstable a title contender, the improvement — not just in skill, but in numbers — has been significant. Advertisement He discovered volleyball in middle school while playing in the backyard with his older brother, Aiden . He not only had to learn the sport but learn how to lead. 'He was pretty quiet in the eighth grade, and then slowly throughout freshman year, he started getting more of that leadership,' said Joao Pedro Andrade , Kundel's fellow co-captain. 'By sophomore year, he was already a great captain, taking [his] leadership on and off the court.' Passionate about volleyball, Kundel shifted his focus from his first love, football. He still enjoys playing tight end/defensive end, but chose to concentrate on volleyball and plans on pursuing it in college. 'It's just so much fun, fast-paced. I feel like it's so action-packed,' Kundel said. 'The teamwork aspect of it is one of my favorites.' Brady Kundel is not only a presence at the net, but on stage and in front of the piano keys. Barry Chin/Globe Staff Volleyball has not been his only chance to lead. Kundel, who has been learning piano for seven years, recently added voice lessons to his repertoire after joining the drama club to prepare for his role as Prince Eric in 'The Little Mermaid.' Even with his busy schedule, Kundel learned to optimize his time without affecting his commitment to the team. 'Even though he has a lot of stuff, a lot of responsibilities going on. I think he's always been a pretty good part of the team,' Andrade said. 'Talking to us on and off the court, always giving us information, motivating us, and he's always been a pretty solid player since the start.' Related : Kundel has even bigger plans, hoping to join the Math Honors, Tri-M Music Honors, and the National Honor Society at Barnstable. A headliner in multiple ways, Kundel finds a connection between his different roles. Advertisement 'When players experience strong emotions, it influences their game a lot,' he said. 'Being able to control your emotions, even if you're feeling down — being able to hype yourself up, hype your teammates up — is really strong, and that's a great thing in the sports world. 'Being able to show your emotions, like sadness, happiness, laughter, like every emotion and drama, has also been a big thing.' Brady Kundel helped Barnstable improve from 5 wins in 2023 to 14 in 2024, earning their first postseason bid since the inception of the statewide tournament. Barry Chin/Globe Staff Set points • Having graduated eight seniors and introduced an all-new coaching staff, Andover entered this season with a mixed bag of challenges. Led by coaches Brent Ashley , Mae Driscoll , and Dan Young , the Golden Warriors earned a 3-1 win in their season opener against Dracut. 'There is no doubt that it has been a transition,' said Ashley. 'There is such a history and a culture within the Andover program that I have spent the majority of my time asking questions, learning about my student-athletes, and learning about the history and expectations of the program.' The three coaches combined for a 41-20 record while coaching the girls' programs at Lexington (Driscoll), Lynnfield (Ashley), and Andover (Young) last fall. Though the coaches come from three different leagues and have different styles, it has been a learning opportunity that Young believes will benefit their girls' teams in the fall. 'There's a disparity between how I coach vs. how you coach,' Young said. 'Everyone goes into it with an open mind, which Brent has encouraged and given everyone a voice. Sometimes you learn what you do wrong, too.' Related : • An early theme of the season is that a lot of teams graduated starting setters and are developing offenses without them. Natick junior Luke Dratch looks comfortable taking the place of All-Scholastic Harrison Landry , but the Redhawks have a ways to go, already with two Bay State losses. Advertisement Needham is starting off with a pair of setters in Luke Vivaldi and Nate Ross , and it worked magnificently when six different hitters recorded five or more kills in a win over Natick. Wayland started off sharing setter duties between senior libero Liam Frenzel and sophomore Zach O'Donnell , but handed the keys to the offense to the tall underclassman and he has delivered more than 40 assists in back-to-back matches. Matches to watch Tuesday, No. 3 Newton North at No. 2 Needham, 4 p.m. — A Thursday, No. 3 Newton North at No. 4 Natick, 4:30 p.m. — This will be Natick's third day in a row with a match, and the last time they met, the Redhawks squandered multiple match points. Thursday, No. 2 Needham at No. 1 Brookline, 5:15 p.m. — The Warriors aced their first big test with new coach Lexi De La Cruz, sweeping Natick. This will be another top challenge against a Rockets team that can match Brookline's depth. Thursday, No. 8 St. John's Prep at No. 9 BC High, 5 p.m. — The top three in the Catholic Conference are neck-and-neck, and SJP will be looking to rebound after a loss to St. John's (Shrewsbury). Friday, No. 11 Chelmsford at No. 13 Acton-Boxborough, 5:15 p.m. — Merrimack Valley teams get few nonconference matches, and this is one between two teams on the rise.
