Congrats to Westwood for defending its state title.

Westwood and Longmeadow set for rematch in lax

It's all set.

Eastern Massachusetts champion Westwood will face Western Mass. champion Longmeadow in a rematch of last year's Division I girl's lacrosse state final in which the Wolverines won 10-7 at Wayland High School. 

Longmeadow (21-1) is searching for its first state title since 2004 when it beat Westwood (22-1) in the final. The Wolverines captured titles over the Lancers in 2003, 2005, and 2008 and are looking to make it four out of five. 

Westwood beat Framingham, 15-6 in a rematch of last year's Eastern Mass. final to earn the returning trip while Longmeadow also trounced Central Mass. champion Westborough 15-7. 

3,000 next for Abdul-Qaadir?

I love Garry Brown.

In his "Hitting to All Fields" column today in The Springfield Republican he wrote...

And now, Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir can relax and go for 3,000.

Priceless.

Another high school note...

Cathedral 4, Catholic Memorial 3. Purple Panthers, on the prowl.

That's right, lets go West!

East vs. West who is the best: Cathedral downs CM on the ice

It's looking like Cathedral really wants to be a Super 8 contender this year.

The Panthers first beat out B.C. High last week, 1-0, and their latest victim is none other than Catholic Memorial, who was ranked at No. 5 in The Boston Globe's Top 20 last week.

Cathedral beat the Knights, 4-3 at the Olympia this afternoon and will take on Acton-Boxboro later this week.

For today the West has proven to be the best.
