Oliver Ames Golf Wins Third Match in a Row

The Tigers defeated powerhouse Sharon Wednesday afternoon to improve to 3-2.

Wednesday afternoon, the Oliver Ames golf team likely proved that it is the real deal. In their first home match of the season, the Tigers upset then-undefeated Sharon, 149-152 to take their third win in a row and improve to 3-2. Sharon dropped to 5-1. "It was our first home match and if we shoot like that we'll be in every match," coach Leo Duggan said. OA had five golfers shoot in the 30s. Nick Carter, Sam Minsky and James Shlhoup all finished the day with a 37. Josh Gurman finished the day with a 38 and Kyle Mathieson finished with a 39. The win may be a coming out party for the young Tigers, who finished last year 8-7. "Last year, we lost captain Bobby O’Donnell who was a four year starter for us," Duggan said. " But, a lot of these …

OA Golf Falls Just Short in South Sectionals

After a strong showing, the golf team team will prepare for the Hockomock Championships Wednesday.

OA Golfers Cruise Past Foxborough

Four Tigers shoot under 40 in 145-171 win at Pine Oaks Tuesday afternoon.

There was a sense of urgency with the Oliver Ames golf team in its 145-171 victory over Foxborough Tuesday afternoon at Pine Oaks Golf Course. The Tigers, who improved to 4-6 in 2011, haven’t had the consistency they had hoped for in the early going, and as a result, they find themselves in a hole having to win three of their next four matches to qualify for the state tournament. But Tuesday’s performance might give them the momentum they need with all of their remaining matches at home. “This was a great round of golf by the kids,” head coach Leo Duggan said. “I just hope we can be consistent and play like that tomorrow [against Canton].” After Tuesday’s performance, Bobby O’Donnell, Sam Minsky, Kyle Mathieson and Nick Carter – who all …

This Week in Oliver Ames Sports

Several teams face Sharon for second time this year, while football and cross-country face Foxborough this week.

Although the Oliver Ames football team dropped its first game of the season last week against King Philip, the week was certainly good for the rest of the teams. Both boys’ and girls’ soccer teams inched closer to Canton in the Davenport Division standings, while the field hockey team bounced back with a win over Ursuline Academy and a tie against KP. Cross-country improved to 3-0 after victories over Stoughton, and the volleyball team put itself within striking distance of its second tournament appearance in three years with wins over KP and Mansfield. Several teams will renew their rivalry with Sharon later this week, while cross-country closes out its Davenport slate and football prepares for its first divisional game of the season. …
