The Hull-Cohasset hockey team was already a heavy favorite entering its contest vs. Cardinal Spellman on Wednesday night in Randolph. And when Spellman’s staring goalie was unable to play due to a concussion, the Cardinals had to put in a backup who had never before been between the pipes. It all added up to lopsided 11-2 win for Hull-Cohasset, which evened its record at 7-7-1 and took another step closer to a state tournament berth. Luke Dunham led the way with four goals (two unassisted) and an assist. Matt Mahoney added two goals, Hayden Manfredi had a goal and two assists, and Luke Mullen and Rob Casagrande also had a goal and an assist each. The two teams meet again on Saturday at Connell Rink in Weymouth for senior night. Hull’s lone senior is co-captain Hayden Manfredi. Hull-Cohasset blanked host Rockland last Wednesday 4-0. Finn Carragher scored and Luke Richardson and Luke Dunham added assists from the Hull contingent.
Track teams impress at league meet. The Hull High boys and girls track and field teams competed in the South Shore League Championships this week and came away with notable performances. The boys finished fourth and the girls finished sixth in team standings. Individually, the top three finishes in each event earned medals. Hull medal winners were Matt McCluskey (second in high jump, third in the 55 meters), and Ethan Campbell (third in the high jump). The girls 4×200 relay team of Mattie Tuchmann, Faye Lofgren, Elsie Harper and Allie Truglia took first place, and the boys 4×200 relay team of Matt McCluskey, Tony Alibrandi, Ethan Campbell and John Gianibas placed second. The Division 5 state meet will take place on Feb. 18 at the Reggie Lewis Center.
Boys Basketball takes two. The boys varsity basketball team won twice this week and improved to 9-7 (5-6 SSL). Hull defeated host Avon on Monday, 61-49. Gabe Griffin had 20 points and Tyler Sordillo had 13 points to lead the scoring. On Tuesday, Daniel Punchard’s buzzer beater gave Hull a 56-54 win over Rockland, completing a season sweep of the Bulldogs. Sordillo had 16 points and Punchard had 10 points. Hull hosts Cohasset on Friday at 6:30 p.m. The boys JV team recorded its first win of the season with a 44-32 road win at Avon. The team fell to Rockland on Tuesday 66-28. Dan Gianibas had 11 points with three 3-pointers and Brayden Roberts added 7 points.
Seventh graders win again. The boys seventh grade travel basketball team improved to 8-2 with a 54-27 victory over Silver Lake on Saturday. Elijah Perlmuter led the scoring with 19 points and Michael Cimetti chipped in 11 points. It was a tight game before Hull pulled away in the second half with great outside shooting by Perlmuter and dominant play on the boards by Cimetti. Great efforts were turned in by Nate Tiani, Tristan Lofgren, Christian Truglia, Audie Bernard and Sam Szabo.
