Girls Varsity Softball Opener

Hey frienders,

Dee and Mads here! The girls varsity softball team has the honor of playing their home opener on Sawyer Field. Sawyer Field you are wondering? YES! A turf field because ours is underwater and there are fishes swimming in the puddles currently in our outfield. But the Athletic Department has given us the privilege to play the first ever Williston Softball game on Sawyer. So we would love for our Wildcat fans to come on down Friday @ 4:45 and support the WGVS team! Hopefully the weather is great and you can enjoy the first ball game of the spring right down on SAWYER FIELD!! If you’re wondering or are confused by any means we said SAWYER FIELD. Thank you so much! See you at Sawyer Field on Friday @ 4:45!

XoXo,

Not gossip girl but Dee and Mads

Live Streaming Tournament Games

Untitled design(2)The Williston Northampton Wildcats are excited to host three playoff games on campus today: girls hockey, girls basketball, and boys basketball. This is the first time in the school’s history that we’ve hosted this many winter playoff games—it’s been a great season for the Wildcats!

Find today’s tournament schedule and more information online here.

3:15 p.m.    #4 Varsity Girls Basketball (18-3) vs. #5 Pomfret

4:15 p.m.     #2 Varsity Girls Hockey (19-0-4)  vs. #7 Choate

5:45 p.m.     #2 Varsity Boys Basketball (20-3)  vs. #7 Exeter (two-time defending champions)

Screenshot 2015-03-04 11.35.04Knowing that many of our families would like to watch the games from wherever they are, we’re trying a live stream service called High School Cube. This is a new service for us, and we’re hopeful it helps you share in the excitement on campus.

You can download the High School Cube app on your phone, and then follow the Williston Northampton Live Stream Channel. Please note: there are two Williston Northampton channels, but only the Williston Northampton Live Stream Channel will be showing the games as they are played.

We are hopeful this new service works as planned; thank you for your patience as we work to bring you live events from campus.

Go, Wildcats!
