Final Week of Regular Season Arrives for Wildcats

It's safe to say the postseason is on the horizon. Just one week of regular season contests remaining before the playoffs begin for a pair of Wildcat teams next week.

A pair of Wilmington varsity teams are in action to start February vacation week. The time is yet to be decided, but the girls basketball team holds its final playoff tuneup in Lynn during the final day of action in a tournament hosted by St. Mary's.

Also on the day, the boys hockey team looks to bounce back from a closely contested loss to No. 4 Reading as it travels to face Acton-Boxborough beginning at 8 p.m.

On Tuesday, the struggling boys basketball team takes on rival Tewksbury. The JV team hits the hardwood at 5:30 p.m. followed by the varsity at 7 p.m.

Wednesday is the busiest day of the week for Wilmington. The girls hockey team welcomes Wakefield to town at 11 a.m. while all three boys basketball teams play. The freshmen, JV and varsity games will take place in Billerica with the varsity action starting at 4 p.m.

But the biggest crowd of the night will likely come at 8 p.m. at Ristuccia Arena. The Wildcats take on bitter rival Tewksbury in what is always an entertaining contest.

The final regular season action of the season comes on Friday. The boys hockey team closes out with one final test, hosting Wakefield at 2 p.m.
