Two CCHS Teams Still Competing in State Tournaments

The two top-seeded girls teams from Concord-Carlisle High School continue to advance in state tournament play, while other athletic squads have hung up their cleats and rackets after solid spring seasons.

The CCHS softball club, which entered the MIAA tournament with a 19-1 record and top seeding, has advanced to the semifinals and awaits the winner of this afternoon’s contest between No. 4 Central Catholic and No. 5 Boston Latin. The Patriots will take on the winner of that game a Martin Field in Lowell, at a date and time still to be announced.

Also still in contention is the top-ranked CCHS girls tennis quad, which topped the Rockets of Reading Memorial Tuesday afternoon at Emerson Field. The Patriots have advanced to the semifinals, where they’ll face either Swampscott or North Andover.

Other teams haven’t fared quite so well.

In boys lacrosse, the 11th-ranked Patriots bowed out in the first round, losing to No. 6 Wellesley in a low-scoring battle. The girls lacrosse squad, ranked No. 13, also lost in the first round, falling to No. 4 Masconomet in a hard-fought 11-10 contest. (Click here for coverage from that game.)

And in boys tennis, the 7th-ranked CCHS squad fell to the second-ranked Grey Ghosts of Westford Academy in the quarterfinals.
