The Raiders rode the arm of pitcher Brian Cristello to the win.
Some clutch hitting and a complete game by pitcher Brian Cristello added up to a win for the Watertown High School baseball team in the Friday morning match up with Woburn. The game, which was played at Belmont High School due to the renovation of Victory Field, remained scoreless through three-and-a-half innings, but the Raiders got on the board when first baseman Timmy Geagan hit a drive to right-center. "We had some timely hitting, I thought that was big," said Watertown head coach Joe Chiodo. "Timmy had a big triple." Geagan then came home when the umpire called a balk on Woburn pitcher David Pratt. Despite the misstep, Woburn head coach Wayne Pandolph said he was pleased with the sophomore, who was making his first start. "He did a …

Watertown's boys' basketball team has ripped off four tournament wins after going 4-5 to end the regular season. Saturday the Raiders play for the state championship.
The Raiders jumped out to a fast start, rolling over their first 11 opponents, but Watertown’s boys’ basketball team went 4-5 down the stretch, which may have been just what the team needed. The Raiders are preparing to take on Whitinsville Christian in the MIAA Div. 3 state final Saturday at 12:30 p.m. at the DCU Center in Worcester. After dropping their final two contests to Belmont at home and on the road at South Boston (teams they beat earlier in the year), Watertown has ripped off four tournament wins by an average margin of 22.25 points.

The MIAA rules state that co-op teams are approved for two years. This past season was the fourth year of the Watertown/Melrose girls' hockey team, and athletic directors from the schools will try to extend it another two.
Since becoming a cooperative team four years ago, the Watertown/Melrose girls hockey team hasn’t exactly been a powerhouse in the Middlesex League. For most of that time the Raiders hovered near the bottom of the standings. But that all changed this season, as Watertown/Melrose surged to a 14-3-5 record to finish third in the league and qualify for the Div. 1 North sectional as the 10th seed. The Raiders beat Framingham 1-0 in a nail-biting preliminary round game, but would eventually fall to seventh-seeded Lexington 5-1 in the first round. Most teams would look at making the tournament as a good thing, but having such a successful year may prove to be the downfall of the Watertown/Melrose co-op. According to MIAA rules, co-op teams are…

Watertown and will now play Tuesday at TD Garden for the chance to play for their third state championship in five years.
LOWELL – If defense wins championships, then the Watertown boys' basketball team can start making room in the trophy case for another title very soon.

The Raiders now have a date with South Section champ Cardinal Spellman on the Garden's parquet floor Tuesday at 4:15 p.m., with the winner advancing to the state title game Saturday.

Watertown/Melrose travels to Lexington Saturday night in the MIAA Div. 1 girls' hockey tournament.
After winning their first ever state tournament game, the members of the Watertown-Melrose girls’ hockey team now face tough yet familiar opponent in the MIAA Div. 1 girls’ hockey tournament. The No. 10 seeded Raiders (15-3-5) take on No. 7 seed Lexington at Hayden Rink in Lexington (14-2-4) Saturday at 7:30 p.m. The Minutemen, a fellow member of the Middlesex League, beat Watertown/Melrose last time out, but in the first meeting of the season, Watertown/Melrose co-op team got the tie. This gives head coach Steve Russo something to be optimistic about. “We tied theme the first game at home, and they beat us 5-2,” Russo said. “I thought that was a good game ‘til about 10 minutes left in game. We ran out of gas, and they scored 3 goals." In …
