HHS Sports Roundup: Boys hockey routs North Attleboro; boys basketballs falls

by | Mar 1, 2023 | Featured: Sports, Sports

The Hopkinton High School boys hockey team made quick work of North Attleboro on Wednesday night at New England Sports Center in Marlborough, opening postseason play with a 9-0 rout.

Drew Morse and Charlie Purpura scored in the opening period. The Hillers blew open the game with five goals in the second, including a pair each from Joe Carrazza and Pavit Mehra. James Hayward made it 8-0 in the third, and Purpura scored the final tally with just over a second remaining.

Jack Lang picked up the win in the HHS goal.

Eighth-seeded Hopkinton advances to play Tri-Valley League rival Westwood on Sunday at 2:10 p.m., also at New England Sports Center.

Boys hoops bows out

The HHS boys basketball team saw its season come to an end with a 71-67 loss to host Brookline in a Division 1 preliminary round game.

The game was tied at 36 at the half, but the Hillers could not pull it out down the stretch.

The Hillers take solace in a strong season that ended with a 14-7 record.

“Sad to think I’ll never be stepping on the court again, but I couldn’t have asked for a better group of guys and season to end it off,” senior guard Zach Hyman shared.
