Congratulations to the Hopkinton Girls 8th Grade Travel Team for winning the Division 2 State Basketball Championship! The Hillers were strong in the preliminary round of the tournament by trouncing Dartmouth 63-26, then defeating Sandwich 56-35. In the state semi-final game, the Hiller girls shook off a slow start but really came to life in the 2nd half as they beat Charlton 42-21. In the Finals, Hopkinton was matched up against Martha's Vineyard, who were a perfect 17-0 in the Cape Cod League. The Hillers overcame a 2-point halftime deficit and again played a very strong second half, especially defensively, to win 36-26 and capture the state title. The Hopkinton girls enjoyed a successful regular season, winning the Metrowest Division 2 Central regular season crown, which helped them earn a berth in the states. All season long, the Hillers played unselfishly and had balanced scoring. The girls finished their youth travel basketball careers by amassing an impressive 18-5 record. A special thanks to Mary Korbey and Don Keavany who have been fantastic coaches over the years. ~ Contributed by Kevin Murphy |

Hopkinton Aluminum Warriors Make Their

March 23, 2014 — The Hopkinton Robotics team took on a new challenge this year by moving up from the FIRST Tech Challenge last year, and building the more complicated robots to compete in FIRST Robotics Challenge competition. The challenge was to build a robot that could pick up and shoot a 24 inch ball through and over 7 foot high targets while being pushed and pounded by other opposing robots trying to complete the same task.
Hopkinton’s team was called the Aluminum Warriors. As a rookie team, Hopkinton had a tough day one on Friday and they finished in 31st place out of 39 teams competing. However, on the last bout on Friday Hopkinton finished strong and Robert Lahaie, the Hopkinton driver, demonstrated to other competitors that Hopkinton could play aggressive defense and that earned their robot some credibility with the other teams.
On day two, Hopkinton showed much better, winning 2 of 3 bouts with strong defense. Robert was able to shut down the best robot in the competition from scoring, other teams noticed. The top 8 teams in the competition each go on to select two “Alliance Partners” to join their team. On their very last pick the top team selected Hopkinton’s Aluminum Warriors to lead the defense for their Alliance.
This new red team alliance competed great through the quarter finals and semi-finals racking up points on the competition. Hopkinton’s robot would play aggressive defense, while the other 2 robots in the red alliance loaded up on points. It was a great combination. The master of ceremonies commented on many occasions throughout the day that the Aluminum Warriors from Hopkinton were making great defensive plays to stop other teams' robots from scoring. The red alliance moved up and made it to the final round. It was best 2 out of 3 to win the championship.
Hopkinton, in the red alliance, easily won
the first bout and they looked like they were in good shape to
take it all. In bout number 2, one of the other alliance members
had a penalty that cost the red alliance the win. Ready to
battle on, Hopkinton moved to the final match of the day, winner
takes all. Hopkinton made some good moves on defense, but one of
the throwing arms on their alliance partner's robot broke during
the competition and became disabled. The two remaining robots
fought valiantly, but in the end after a very exciting match,
Hopkinton’s red alliance team lost with a very close score of
118 to 120 to the blue alliance. |

Hopkinton Selectman Endorsed for Senate Run by
State Convention March 23, 2014 — According to reports coming from the Massachusetts State Republican Convention attendees, Hopkinton Selectman Brian Herr received the party's nod for his candidacy for the U. S. Senate from Massachusetts. Other Republicans, we are informed, may run on nomination papers, but not as Republicans on the ballot. Mr. Herr, a Hopkinton Selectman, resides in Hopkinton with his wife, Mary Murphy, and their five children. Mr. Herr's last run for office outside of the Town offices he has held, which includes Hopkinton Planning Board, was a run against Marty Lamb for the Republican nomination for the Congressional seat held by Jim McGovern, in which Lamb won the convention. Inasmuch as Charlie Baker for Governor and Brian Herr for the US Senate are the only candidates to have received 15% or more of the convention's votes, we are further informed that there will be no primary for the Republican party in Massachusetts. According to the state's website, the last day for submitting nomination papers is May 6, 2014.
From Ken Weismantel: "This was a big day for the Hopkinton delegation with the nomination of Brian Herr for US Senate. "I addressed the convention to second his nomination. "The Hopkinton Delegation voted 100% to support the nomination of Charlie Baker." Ken Weismantel Chairman Hopkinton Republican Town Committee
