Despite the cold and windy weath- er on March 31, there was no precip- itation and Tantasqua hosted Westborough. The Rangers won the varsity con- test, 9-2, and then the JV game that followed, 20-7.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Apropos of almost next to noth- ing, my mind took a wander down memory lane recently as it dawned on me it was 24 years ago this week that I drove my first-ever vehicle for review: a 1987 Saab 900 SPG. It still brings a smile to my face to think of how special that car was in terms of both handling and performance. Plus, of course, it set me down the road to this probably ill-advised career path but I'll always have fond memories of that charcoal gray SPG. Fast forward 20 years or so and I have the opportunity to once again drive a 1987 Saab SPG at a special event outside of Boston.
