By Harold Rivera ITEM SPORTS EDITOR WINTHROP — This one was over just a few minutes after the puck dropped. A re- lentless Winthrop attack made it a long af- ternoon for the Peabody boys hockey team. The Vikings scored 30 seconds into the game, led by five goals at the end of the first period and coasted to a 10-1 win over the Tanners Saturday at Lawrence Larsen Rink. “That’s our agenda, to come out with a fast start,” Winthrop coach Dale Dunbar said. “We had a bunch of different goal scorers, which is always good. It was a good win. We lost last week (5-2 to Mansfield) so to get back on the win column with a win at home is huge.” Joey Holgersen and Sam Yarrow each scored two goals.
