Unified Track Short, but Sweet Season
By Ellen Oliver
Nashoba’s unified track team had a short, but very sweet season, earning their second league championship. “It was a little bittersweet this year,” explained Coach Matt Ettinger. “We had four meets and three were cancelled due to weather and scheduling issues. One was able to be rescheduled, but we didn’t get the same competition as last year.”
Last year, Nashoba walked away with the first championship title and easily repeated the feat on May 18th for back-to-back wins. “Last year was a nail biter,” said Ettinger. “This year we did really well and won a lot of events.”
Stow Acres is Future Focused… May 29, 2013
By Nancy Arsenault
While the economy has caused ownership changes or turned golf courses into housing developments, Stow Acres Country Club, Stow’s oldest and largest golf course, is still considered one of the premiere public golf facilities in the area.
Boasting two 18-hole courses, North and South, the North course was selected as one of America’s 50 best public courses by Golf Digest in the 1980s and 1990s. The U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship was hosted there in 1995, only the second time ever in New England. From 2003-2006, Stow Acres hosted the Monday qualifier for the PGA’s Deutsche Bank Championship held at the Tournament Players Club Boston and continues to be the site of major tournaments.
