The spring high school sports season is officially underway in the Greater Taunton area.
Last week, Taunton baseball got off to a hot start while the new baseball coaches at Bridgewater-Raynham and Bristol-Plymouth earned their first wins in their first games. A Bridgewater-Raynham tennis player extended his match winning streak to 13 while Bridgewater-Raynham track and field had a dominant showing at the Trojan Invitational and Taunton volleyball earned their first ever Hockomock League win over Attleboro in the league's debut boys volleyball season. Bridgewater-Raynham, Bristol-Plymouth and Dighton-Rehoboth all had at least one player record a hat trick.
The Taunton Daily Gazette High School Boys Athlete of the Week for Feb. 24-March 2 is Taunton wrestling's Mike Leskoski, receiving 69% of the vote. Taunton hockey's Jameson Vallarelli came in second with 23% while Taunton basketball's Dray Thielker received 4% to finish third and round out the Tiger sweep of the top three.
