Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a video or two to brighten your morning.

Mark Sanborn had a positive experience during his years as a three-sport standout at Hopkinton High School, and he wants the same for his players now that he is taking the reins of the Hillers football program. “I enjoyed the experience of being teammates with guys I still hang out with today, the feeling of playing a game on Friday after grinding out a week of practice, there is nothing better,” Sanborn said. “I just hope I can provide that.”

Leading off the Select Board roundup, Simone Carter was confirmed as the new public health nurse for the town, while Julia Schneiderman was approved to be the new outreach coordinator at the Senior Center.

The latest edition of the Police Log includes reports of a car being run off the road, a goose stuck in fishing line, a loud church service and reckless jet skiers.

Town meetings tonight include the Open Space Preservation Commission (7).
