Georgetown Wins Division 3 North Baseball Title vs Newburyport

(Lowell)  I was at sunny LeLacheur Park in Lowell and watched Georgetown hang on to defeat Newburyport, 4-3, to gain the North Sectional Championship in Division 3 on Saturday afternoon on June 6th.
This game was tense from beginning to end.  Newburyport ended the game with runners on second and third just a hit or an [...]

Georgetown Softball Team Has Bright Future

April 13th was not an area holiday as far as I know but word is that there was plenty of celebrating on the Georgetown High School softball field that day.
The celebration at that spot was not a surprise when you learn that on that particular afternoon the Georgetown girls’ team ended a lengthy losing streak [...]

Georgetown Girls Lose Finals to Millis – Pictures from the game

(Boston) The Georgetown Royals reached the state finals on this snowy March 9th afternoon but came away with only an appearance in the finals to show for it as they lost to Millis, 60-43.
“It was worth the trip,” said Coach Barri Ann Lorenzo afterwards in the press room.  “But it’s harder without the W at [...]

Taryn O’Connell: Worthy of Notice

Taryn O’Connell not only plays under the basket but also “plays under the radar,” according to her basketball coach at Georgetown High School, BarriAnn Lorenzo. 
“In a league with big schools like Masco, North Andover, and Ipswich not much attention is paid to little Georgetown and Taryn O’Connell,” claimed Coach Lorenzo.
The neglect seems unfair since the [...]

Local Sporting Events: A Gift Waiting to be Opened Year Round

I enjoy watching athletic events all year long and I find them to be a little bit like Christmas. 
Sporting events are a natural occasion for participants and family spectators to enjoy special times together.  It is also an enjoyable take for those of us on the outside looking in, to be able to witness this [...]

Georgetown Soccer Rides “do-or-die” to Division 3 North Finals

In a time of cliché overkill, the phrase “do-or-die” is overused and often abused. 
However, write about the 2008 season of the Georgetown boys’ soccer team and the phrase fits perfectly.
This team was a very unimpressive 3-7-4 after coming off 4-0 losses to both Masco and Wilmington.  With few games left, the success of the season [...]

Georgetown Soccer Ousted in North Finals

(Lynn) I took in the Division 3 boy’s soccer final at Manning Field yesterday.
The upstart Royals hung around early but eventually lost 2-0 to Hamilton-Wenham.
The windy condition favored one end over the other.  Georgetown had the wind in the first half but came away empty.  One General clearing kick caromed off a Royal player and [...]

Tim Holland Has Major League Aspirations

Most of us dream at night. 

Tim Holland, pictured here, expanded his dreaming to full-time during his sophomore year at Georgetown High School.
“I started to think then that baseball might take me somewhere,” explained the 6-1/175 pound senior.  “It was my best year and I started to get mail from colleges and rumors began about teams [...]
