The high school celebrated three of its athletes who signed letters of intent to play sports in college.
For many athletes, high school graduation means the end of competitive sports, but three Watertown High School seniors will take their game to the next level.

On Thursday they were honored with a ceremony at the school attended by family, coaches and friends (see the video to the right to see some of the action).

The field hockey squad received its due from the School Committee this week, but other teams also enjoyed success this fall.

The Raiders scored early in the game and held on to defeat Oakmont for the second straight year in the MIAA Div. 2 championship game.
A young Raiders team peaked at the right time, defeating Oakmont 1-0 on Saturday and Watertown collected a fourth straight MIAA Div. 2 State Field Hockey championship. Watertown sophomore Emily Loprete provided all the offense that the Raiders would need in the rematch of last year's state final with a goal less than 8 minutes into the game. "I got a tip on it. It was a pass from Lauren (Sutherland), a hard shot," Lopete said. "It really helped (the team). It was key because it was in the beginning (of the game), so it felt very good." While the Raiders kept the Spartans off the board, it was not easy. Oakmont had a couple good scoring chances at the end of the first half. "It was nice we were able to hold that off," Donohue said. "Our …
