Watertown Field Hockey Captains, Boys Soccer Coach Honored by Boston Globe

Watertown High School's successful fall season was recognized by the Boston Globe, which selected field hockey player Lauren Sutherland one of the players of the year and boys' soccer coach Frank Cacia as a coach of the year.

Sutherland recieved the Div. 2 Player of the Year award from the Globe, and helped guide the Raiders to an undefeated season and Watertown's fourth straight state title. She never lost a game in her four-year career and the Raiders only had three ties. Next year she will play at Holy Cross, according to the Globe.
