06:05PM / Wednesday, April 15, 2020 | |
 CHESHIRE, Mass. — The two-time state champion Hoosac Valley girls basketball team is sending a dual message with the video it created for social media this month. Like a lot of basketball teams, the Hurricanes have caught the craze of posting a video montage of players who cannot gather in one place but can virtually unite as a ball is passed from outside the frame to each team member and then relayed to the next, who catches and passes in their own backyard or driveway. The videos are a fun take on the concepts of social distancing and staying connected during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hoosac Valley coach Ron Wojcik decided to put a different spin on 0 Comments

 CHESHIRE, Mass. — Xander Bogaerts will have a chance to lead his team back to the playoffs. Aaron Judge will continue his assault on the home-run record book.

 The Hoosac Valley girls basketball team was going hard in practice. Then, it got some hard news. “I think it was Averie [McGrath]’s dad who came in and told us,” Ron Wojcik said. “We read the announcement to everyone. It was pretty weird at that point. Surreal was the word that came to mind.” Surreal, but not wholly unexpected. Late Thursday afternoon, the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association announced that all of this weekend's state championship games in basketball and hockey are canceled due to concerns about COVID-19. That means that Wojcik’s Hurricanes and the boys and girls basketball teams from 1 Comment

 NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- William Peets has been a shot-blocking machine for the BArT basketball team over the years.
