   The Walpole High boys’ basketball team lost to Brookline High January 8, dropping the Rebels’ overall record to 2-6, 0-6 in the league.
   The team had reached its nadir the first half of the previous game, when it self-combusted in a 56-35 loss to Wellesley.
   During that first half a disorganized Rebel squad scored just 12 points as the Raiders rolled to a 19-point bulge by the break.
   Fortunately, the Rebels fans never gave up on their team, and the Rebels never gave up on themselves.
   Since that first half on January 5, the young team has started making strides toward becoming what it is capable of, and as it heads into the second half of the season, not only promises to be an exciting entity the rest of the year, but to produce a nucleus that will be competitive for at least the next two seasons after.

   It seems that any time the Milton High School boys’ hockey team has a Muse in the net, the Walpole Rebels are not amused. Instead, it usually spells trouble.
   Right now the Wildcats are on their third Muse, senior Mike, and nothing has changed much.
Last year Muse handled the Rebels twice during the regular season, and he got this year’s home-and-away Bay State Herget series off to a fine start – for him – with a 2-0 shutout Wednesday night at the Iorio Arena.
   “Mike played well in goal,” offered Milton Coach Paul Noonan. “It seems that for the last couple of years he’s had Walpole’s number.”
   It had to be frustrating for Walpole senior goalie Bill Sweeney, who played another excellent game without getting the “W.”
   Sweeney recorded 26 saves in absorbing the loss, including back-to-back stops on Joe Indelicato and Justin Barbera with less than three minutes left in the first period.
   Muse had 22 …

Track: WHS boys unbeaten; Hawley haul for girls 18 points

   Despite tough odds, the unbeaten boys’ track team once again passed a difficult test and proved its strength by topping the Natick Red and Blue with a score of 42-40, last Thursday at the Reggie Lewis Center. The girls however, were unable to conquer a talented Natick team as they fell 51-35.
   The Rebel boys knew it was going to be a close meet going in, and that was exactly the outcome as the meet carried on. The mile kicked off the meet, and was the first of many victories the Rebels needed to get the overall “W”. Junior Dave Connors was hot off the gun taking an early lead, but was eventually passed by junior teammate Dave Wians who cruised to first in 5:01.
   Connors, not far behind, raced it out with his Natick counterpart Pat O’Loughlin for a key second place time of 5:05. The 1000-meter race was even more of a nail biter, with sophomore Zach Ganshirt yielding second place with a time of 2:59.7, just a short .66 seconds behind Natick’s lead runner. The race was just another …
