Patriots Day Weekend Soccer

Jared had two MPS soccer games this past weekend. They dropped both games, but Jared impressed his new coach with his intensity in the first game (referring to him as mvp) and played him for all of both games. The 1st game was in Hopkinton so it made for a convenient marathon course dry run as well. Jared has a bit shin splints from track distance running now so he’s resting this week.

Villanova take city play-off and regular season titles

Jared’s basketball team went 14-0, winning the regular season (photos) title and taking the playoff championship Saturday (photos). They won 55-46 after being up 20-8 at the quarter, 30-16 at the half, and 43-26 after 3 quarters. Jared has been on the winning playoff team for 3 of the past 4 years now. I don’t think any player has 2 titles in that time span.
