• After coming off back-to-back wins, Hull Boys Soccer came back down to Earth, falling to the higher division Rockland Bulldogs. The Pirates battled well in the first half, but with sickness and injuries mounting, the second half was all one-way traffic for the strong Rockland squad as the Pirates tired. The team came up short against another higher division team, East Bridgewater, at home on Wednesday. A goal by Oliver Szabo tied the score with 25 minutes left in the first, but the Vikings took control and opened up a 4-1 lead at the half. EB added another goal to finish up on top, 5-1. The boys’ next two games are on the road, first against the Norwell Clippers at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 1, and then against Sandwich at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, October 4.

• Hull High Girls Soccer defeated Rockland, 2-1, at home, improving to 6-0-1 on the year. Both goals came from Elly Thomas. The Pirates then hit the road to play East Bridgewater on Wednesday. The team took an early 2-1 lead, but the Vikings came back to tie the score before Hull went ahead again, 4-2. East Bridgewater played strong and tied the score again, 4-4, which ended up being the final score. The next varsity soccer match is against Norwell at home on Tuesday, October 1 at 5:30 p.m., followed by a road game against Sandwich on Friday, October 4 at 5:30 p.m. The JV girls play at 4 p.m. on both of those days.

• Coach Jaime Standridge and the Hull High girls basketball staff and players will lead a five-week shooting camp beginning on October 5. The camp is designed to focus on proper technique and following through, instill a shooter’s mentality, and will include take-home drills, shooting competitions, and prizes. The camp will be held on Saturdays in the Hull High gymnasium between October 5 and November 2; Grades K-5 will be from 4-5 p.m. and Grades 6-8 will be from 5:30-6:30 p.m. A camp T-shirt is included in the $75 fee per participant, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Emma Ryan Memorial Fund.

Nathan O’Hare had a 50-yard touchdown run as well as a 38-yard fumble recovery, leading to a defensive touchdown. Thomas Blake, Mason DelGallo, and Nick Perry all had strong games on defense. The Pirates play next on Friday, September 27, hosting Boston English, in the annual Homecoming Game at Finlayson Field. Game time is 6 p.m.; senior parents and players will be introduced beginning at 5:45 p.m. Homecoming ceremonies take place at halftime, and after the game, it’s Alumni Night at the Nantasket Beach Salt Water Club. Former Pirates are invited to gather after the game at the club to celebrate memories, both old and new. Next weekend, the team heads to the North Shore to face off against Kipp Academy at Manning Field in Lynn on Saturday, October 5.
