Wilmington High School erased a halftime deficit thanks to a strong start to the third quarter, improving to 4-0 on the year with a 13-9 win over Burlington.
The Wilmington High School boys lacrosse team is in the early stages of what it hopes to be a turnaround season. And on Tuesday, the Wildcats used a Burlington mistake to complete a turnaround in a Middlesex League clash at Woburn Street School. While Wilmington trailed, 6-4, late in the first half, the Red Devils were called for an illegal stick late in the second quarter. As a result, the Wildcats went on to score four goals in the opening two minutes of the third quarter, taking the lead for good as they held on for a 13-9 win. Ryan Kennedy scored three goals in the first half alone, and went on to notch five goals and two assists in the win. Also leading the way for the Wildcats was Brian Priem's four goals. Justin MacKinnon scored two…

After jumping ahead of Tewksbury early, Wilmington High School's boys lacrosse team cruised to a 16-10 victory in its season opener.
At 36 degrees in blustery conditions, it felt more like winter than the opening day of the spring sports season. But it was just the hot start the Wilmington High School boys lacrosse team was looking for. The Wildcats pounced to a 5-1 lead over rival Tewksbury in the first quarter on Tuesday afternoon and never looked back, cruising to a 16-10 win to open the 2013 campaign. Tewksbury hung around throughout the early going, but according to head coach Kieran Kavanaugh, for each string of Redmen goals, there was an answer for the Wildcats. Offensive numbers were gaudy for several Wilmington players. In total, four players notched hat tricks to open the year and seven different players found the back of the net. Brian Priem and Mitch …

Several members of the Boston Bruins offered messages of congratulations to Wilmington High School boys hockey, the team the black and gold share their practice rink with.
The Wilmington High School boys hockey team has won two straight state championships, and the team they share Ristuccia Arena with has taken notice. Several members of the Boston Bruins offered their messages of congratulations to the Wildcats following a recent session at their practice facility. Among them was head coach Claude Julien, who has said in the past he is a big fan of team manager RJ Townsend. During the season, Townsend helps out the Bruins at some of their Wilmington practices. Julien joked that while he's happy for the Wildcats on their second straight state title, he's glad the season is over so Townsend can get back to his old look. For a second straight year, Wilmington players died their hair blonde during their …

Wilmington High School beat Franklin for a second straight year in the Division 2 state title game to win the program's second championship in as many years.
The Wilmington High School boys hockey team had so much fun winning at TD Garden last year, they figured they’d do it again. Thanks to a 4-0 victory over Franklin on Sunday afternoon, the Wildcats sealed a second straight Division 2 state championship win. “Last year, it took a lot longer to set in,” said junior Cody McGowan, who scored the first goal of the game on a breakaway with 1:27 remaining in the first period. “This year, we’re already feeling it. We’re on cloud nine.” While the game ended up another lopsided notch in Wilmington’s belt, it could have been different if not for the goaltending of junior Drew Foley. With 8:43 to go before the first intermission, a bad bounce put the puck on a Franklin stick with a wide-open net just …

Drew Foley was sparkling in net and Wilmington notched three third period goals to skate away with a 4-0 win at TD Garden, the team's second straight state championship.
The Wilmington High School boys hockey team was too strong, too fast and too talented for Franklin as the Wildcats pulled away late to seal a 4-0 victory and the team's second straight Division 2 state championship at TD Garden. Cody McGowan opened the scoring on the breakaway in the first period, Brendan McDonough added his seventh goal of the postseason and Jake Rogers and Luke Foley each scored to seal the win. "It's your senior year and you always want to go out on top with a championship," said captain Cam Owens. "To win two of those, it's a feel you can't describe." Check back with Wilmington Patch on Monday for complete coverage, and relive the title winning game by looking back on Patch's live chat. Are you a big fan of the …

In a rematch of last year’s Division 2 state title game, Wilmington squares off against Franklin at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday on the ice of TD Garden in Boston. With a win, the Wildcats would seal a dominating postseason run with a second consecutive state championship. “We knew coming into the season that we had a lot of skill, and our goal was to get back and win at The Garden,” said senior captain Cam Owens. “Last year we didn’t know what if we were going to be able to win it all, but we were hopeful. I won’t say that we knew we’d be back this year, but we had a …

With much focus on his linemate, Cam Owens, McDonough has turned into a potent scorer for the defending champion boys hockey team.
Earlier this postseason, Wilmington High School boys hockey coach Steve Scanlon lightheartedly begged opponents to focus their defensive attention on Cam Owens, the leading scorer in program history. The reason was simple. He knows that would leave open Brendan McDonough, another Wildcat skater who’s turned into a potent top line scorer. “Key on Cam all you want. Someone’s open,” Scanlon said with a smile after his team’s 4-1 win over Boston Latin in the North Division 2 quarterfinal round. “When (McDonough) is on, he’s the whole package … He’s certainly a force. Cam’s a player, but people forget we have a ‘1’ and a ‘1A.’” McDonough is a veteran player for Wilmington, even though he’s only a junior. He was a member of the state …
