BY SARAH CHAMPAGNE NEWS CORRESPONDENT The greater Southbridge Relay for Life held a kickoff event Feb. 21 to begin the 2018 fundraising campaign. Current teams, event organizers and community members gathered to get information and begin the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. This year’s theme is “Carnival for a Cure.” The event included a “luminaria” ceremony with candles and glow sticks to memorialize those lost to cancer while celebrating hope for the future of cancer prevention and treatment. Louise Santosuosso, director of community development for the American Cancer Society, spoke about the importance of community events like the Relay for Life in fighting cancer. “We are currently seeking people to create teams to participate in our Relay, join our event leadership team and to sponsor our great cause,” remarked Laura Quinn, community development manager for the Northeast region. The Relay for Life event will take place June 15-16 in Southbridge at McMahon Field. Event leadership meetings and team meetings will be held in Southbridge monthly leading up to the event, and they are open to anyone to attend. For more information, contact Laura Quinn at laura.quinn@ cancer.org or by calling (781) 314-2643.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE — With nearly half of Tantasqua Regional’s roster comprised of freshman — five of their 11 players in uniform are first-year students — one would think that the Warriors would be an inexperienced bunch when playing their first game in the Western Mass. Division 2 girls’ basketball tournament. But Tantasqua head coach Tom Goyette assured that they are a seasoned bunch, having played in many AAU tournaments throughout the years. And the freshmen, as well as the two sophomores, two juniors and two seniors, all played and chipped in to the Warriors’ 57-22 victory over Sci-Tech of Springfield in quarterfinal round play on Thursday, March 1. Eight players scored and another eight grabbed multiple rebounds as No. 2 Tantasqua improved to 18-3 and ended the seventh ranked Cybercats’ season at 15-6. “I think we’re a tough team to play because I don’t know who you focus on — we have a lot of weapons,” she Goyette, as sophomore Lydia Boland (12 points), junior Lindsey Zak (11 points, 11 rebounds), freshman Ainsley Way (9 points, 7 rebounds) and freshman Morgan Smith (9 rebounds) were the leading contribu- tors. “The starting five all has the ability to score 20 a night.
