The Mayflower has so many teams in some sports now, it is looking to split into three divisions in those sports, and Holdgate is part of a subcommittee on that topic. He's all but finished his soccer schedule for next year. Chatham won't be on it because the Blue Devils lack enough open dates after their move to the Mayflower League. Chatham will be replaced by the Sturgis Charter School. Provincetown, Harwich and Martha's Vineyard remain on the schedule, and the Whalers will face another local rival in Bourne.
Grapplers get ready.
We're really looking forward to expanding our athletic program. Mike Metzger, a Latin teacher who moved here from Ohio a couple years ago, has run the club team and will be the school's first coach. Martha's Vineyard's fast start in baseball, six wins in its first seven games, can be attributed to a strong pitching staff. Sam Reece, the bull of last year's staff, is 0-1, having lost to Fairhaven in a close game Saturday. His other start, against Sandwich, was rained out in the fourth inning.
