WORCESTER — Most games, Watertown High School’s field hockey team spends a majority of the time attacking the opponents goal, but in Saturday’s MIAA Div. 3 State Final the tables were turned. Despite facing an onslaught from Sandwich’s attack on Saturday, the Raiders emerged as the 2-0 winner and claimed the program’s 22nd State Title.

Watertown’s Community Path will get a bit longer with the addition of a section that sits on private land right next to Main Street. The Council also heard about the committee proposed to decide how to name streets, buildings, and other places in someone’s memory. That section of the Community Path that runs from Waverley Avenue and Main Street has been constructed, City Manager George Proakis told the City Council on Tuesday night, but it has been closed off until the City could get the right for public use through an easement agreement with the property owner. “We are paying them, they are getting these easement rights, and we will get the path further along and connected to Main Street,” Proakis said.
