The REAL success of a team cannot be measured by its final record or by what the scoreboard says at the end of a contest. Check back in 20 years and ask these student athletes what they learned. That's when we'll know they really were champions.
Heartbreaking ending to a historic season. This team should be incredibly proud of everything that they accomplished. The town of Hingham is so proud of you girls👊🏼
