The Hopkinton Hillers evened their record at 1-1 with an impressive 35-12 win on the road in Norton on Friday night. Jake Kelleher threw touchdown passes to Jack Vaccari and Will Abbott, while co-captain Sam Lehman had two touchdown runs and added two fumble recoveries on defense. Connor Hebert rounded out the scoring with a 3 yard plunge and also had an interception. In all, the Hiller defense produced 4 turnovers led by strong performances by their front 7 including Jack Guelfi, Josh Sokol, Matt Burns, and co-captain Nick Poillucci.

A real tough day for our Hiller Golf program. The JV match was postponed at Westborough C.C. on Thursday and our Hiller Varsity team traveled to Ponkapoag Golf Club and lost to Medfield by a score of 225- 230. Medfield had the best score they’ve had in years and they were able to stop our Hiller winning streak of over two years. All of Medfield’s players shot under 39. It was their day today and congrats to them and we’ll look forward to playing them at HCC on Sept. 30th. This loss today will not define our season after 3 matches.

Good evening everyone – It was a great day all around for our golf program. The varsity team won their 2nd match today by defeating Ashland by a score of 243 to 285. The low score always wins in a golf match. Leading the way for the Hillers today were the following:
Kyle Schlicke – 38
Nathan Tuite – 40
Nathan Mezitt – 40
Kyle Fairbanks – 41
Matt Locke – 41
Nick Scire – 43
Aidan Curry – 46
Dario Venuto – 46
We take the top 6 scores out of the eight players. The varsity record is now 2-0.

The Hiller Varsity team started the season the same way they have finished the last two seasons by winning a very close match against a very talented Dover Sherborn team. Dover has finished runner up in Div. 3 State Championship the last two years and have finished runner up to us as TVL Champs the last two years. We are in Div. 2 when we go to the State Tournament.
