Who is the Taunton Daily Gazette H.S. Boys Athlete of the Week for May 5-11?
Another week of the spring high school sports season has come and gone in the Greater Taunton area.
Last week, Bridgewater-Raynham lacrosse completed the season sweep of Dartmouth to claim the Southeast Conference crown while Taunton track and field had a winner at the MSTCA Coaches Metro Invitational and Dighton-Rehoboth volleyball ended a 4-match losing skid with a sweep. Taunton baseball and volleyball continue to look strong while a Dighton-Rehoboth lacrosse player reached a career milestone and Bristol-Plymouth baseball scored a pair of key league wins.
