Through The Storm: Final Month of The Winter Sports Season

After a heavy snow storm that included the New England Patriots making it BACK to the Super Bowl once again after taking down the Denver Broncos in a snowy trench warfare game— Seekonk & Rehoboth sports teams are back in session & dialed in for the final stretch of the winter season.

D-R/Bishop Stang girls co-op hockey team has been on a tear yet again, holding a 7-1-1 record on the season and are currently ranked as the 9th best team in the MIAA Division I State Power Rankings. Their eyes are set on revenge as they’re working to get back to the TD Garden for the MIAA State Championship game for the second straight year. Bishop Stang co-op’s goaltender Tenley Simmons posted a 33 save shutout on Friday January 23rd vs Ursuline, while the team’s most recently beat Arlington Catholic 3-1

The Somerset-Berkley/DRS (Dighton-Rehoboth/Seekonk) co-op boys hockey team is starting to come together throughout the season playing under their first year head coach Justin Couture. After a long 22 years with head coach Kevin Snyder behind the bench, SB/DRS hockey stands with a 8-6 record and have won their last 5/6 games. Recently, the Raiders hockey squad have had close, exciting key victories against Plymouth North, Sandwich, while also having spoiled the Taunton Tigers senior night at Alexio Arena after a game with a ton of physicality and high tensions.

Senior goaltender Gavin Rodrigues has been unstoppable for the Raiders with a GAA (goals against average) of 2.16 and a save % of .928 on the season, allowing just 4 goals in the past three games. Rodrigues shut the door on Plymouth North allowing zero goals in the 3rd period, despite the team being on the penalty kill four times in the last two periods of the game.

In addition, the D-R Falcons boys basketball team is currently 8-5 this season, winning their last three games against Somerset-Berkley, Bourne, and pulling off an exciting 65-64 comeback victory against Old Rochester Regional on January 23rd. D-R’s senior guard Josh Reidy had a Klay Thompson-like performance against Old Rochester racking up a whopping 18 points in the 4th quarter alone, ending the night with 34 total points leading D-R to a 65-64 win.

The girls basketball team is currently 5-9 on the season in the midst of their first season under their new head coach Michaela Deady. The former Bishop Connolly basketball captain is still working on building up the younger players and preparing the D-R girls basketball program for a strong and successful future. Only 4/12 of the team's players are upperclassmen.

Now, flipping to the Seekonk side of the court, the boys basketball team is 5-9 on the season with 3/5 of their wins stemming from a three game win streak against Dighton-Rehoboth, Argosy Collegiate Charter, & Case High School. After dropping six straight games, the boys have won their last two games against Ashland and Bourne. Seekonk sophomore Gavin Perreira led a big comeback victory against Bourne finishing the game with 18 points and 7 assists, while Josh Bien had 11 rebounds with him and Gabe DelMastro scoring 8 points each. Elliott Baldizar also had 11 points and 6 rebounds.

The girls team is 10-4 on the season, recently going on an impressive seven game win streak after starting their season 2-1. After the team dropped a couple of games against Greater New Bedford Voc. & West Bridgewater, the girls rebounded with a dominant win over Bourne on Friday January 30th. Seekonk’s Anya Fagundes led the Lady Warriors racking up 19 points and Grace Goudreau had 12 points as well. Alivia Viera and Caelen Mahoney led the team in rebounds with 8 a piece.

Also to mention, the Bristol Aggie/Dighton-Rehoboth co-op wrestling team most recently finished eighth overall (118.5 points) at the 2026 Whaler Wrestling Tournament at New Bedford High School.

While a Dighton-Rehoboth indoor track athlete simultaneously earned a personal best sprint time, a conference championship, and broke a school record. D-R senior Seamus Sullivan won the 55 meter finishing with a time of 0:06.6 at the SCC Championship, breaking a 17-year old school record with Sullivan winning back-to-back 55m SCC Championships. His new 55m school record is currently the #12 fastest time in all of Massachusetts and #2 fastest time in Division 5.
