The Old Rochester Regional High School football team traveled to Lakeville and battled before falling to Apponequet, 36-21, on Thanksgiving Day, November 23. The Bulldogs finished their season 5-6 and shared the South Coast Conference’s Blue Division championship with Somerset Berkley.
“Still a good accomplishment for this senior group,” was how ORR Head Coach Bryce Guilbeault described the season.
The Bulldogs were down 20-7 at halftime and were coming back before a late turnover derailed their run late in the fourth quarter. Remy Wilson had a touchdown reception from Gavin Martin. Martin and Mateo Pina both scored rushing touchdowns.
“(I’m) thankful for the seniors and all they have given us over the past four years,” said Guilbeault, who also had some words on the future of the team. “We are looking forward to a great offseason and getting back to our winning ways in 2024. Roll Dogs!”
Unified Hoop Completes Perfect Campaign
ORR’s Unified basketball team defeated the Tri-Town Police and Fire team, 67-46, in a thriller on November 21 at the ORRHS gym. The event raised funds for Unified sports.
“This event was a huge success that I am so fortunate our department can be a part of it,” said Marion Police Chief Richard Nighelli. “I challenge anyone to come to this event and not leave with a smile on your face. The Unified Team has fun and plays tough. There is a reason that they are undefeated this year.”
