Wilmington came back from deficit to take fourth quarter lead but loses 62-58.
The 2010-11 Wilmington hoops campaign began on Wednesday with the Wildcats falling to North Andover in a 62-58 nail biter. Wilmington had trailed the entire game but a fourth quarter surge gave the Wildcats a late 52-49 lead. "It was there for the taking," Wildcats coach Joseph Maiella said. "It's tough to lose a game when your kids play hard like that."

Wilmington lost to Medford last night 6-1.
The Wilmington High School's girls ice-hockey team took a big hit on Wednesday, losing 6-1 to Medford at Ristuccia Arena. Forward Chloe Castellano scored the lone goal for the Wildcats, who fall to 1-1 in the season after taking a 4-2 win on the road against Martha's Vineyard on Dec. 10.

Shortly after, Medford managed to sneak one by Santos from the high post. Despite the three-goal deficit, the Wildcats did not let it …
