Boy’s soccer finished with a record of 2-14-2. They ended in last place in their conference.

Unfortunately they did not qualify for the tournament. Coach Brian Munce was not happy with the team’s record or coming in last place, but he was extremely proud of how hard the players worked throughout the whole season. He is looking forward to next season.

Girl’s soccer ended with a record of 7-6-4.  They made it to the first round of the tournament.  They were seeded 11th.  They faced the 6th seeded team, Dover-Sherbom.  Unfortunately they lost 2-0.

  The Fairhaven High School girl’s volleyball team had a successful season.  They were 2nd in the conference (13-3) and went 15-6 overall. The girl’s made it to tournament but unfortunately lost in the quarterfinals of the tournament.  They were seeded 3rd in their division.
The team will be missed greatly by their coach Karen Arsenault.

“They were always positive and drama-free. I couldn't of asked for a greater group of girls to work with, “ said Arsenault.

The boys cross country team finished the season at the SCC meet at Washburn Park in Marion on a 3.1-mile course. The freshman pack of FHS students held their own.  The team couldn’t have finished without senior Chris Grinnell (28:15) who rounded out the scoring for the Devils. The boys ended their season with many personal best times to be proud of.  We are looking to have a girl’s team next year. See Mrs. Charette if interested.

The girl’s field hockey team had a rebuilding year. There were a lot of younger players that had never played varsity field hockey before. They ended the season with a 5-10-3 record.  Sadly the team did not make the tournament.

“I think overall the season was successful. The younger girls tried really hard and had great senior mentors. Their captains Jayne Guerra, Morgan O'Neale, and Jaime Mello never gave up on them during the season and always encouraged them no matter what. I was proud of the overall progress we made. The girls came very far from the beginning of the season to the end,” said coach Julie Sunderland.

  Boy’s football ended the season with an 8-3 overall record, and a 6-2 SCC record.  This was the best record FHS football has seen since 2000.  The season ended with a non-conference game against the Dartmouth Indians on Thanksgiving.  Since the team came in second place in their conference, they did not make it to the playoffs.

I think the football team this year did exceptionally well with huge wins over Wareham and King Phillip but under achieved against DR when we were playing for the Conference Title,” said coach Scott Francis.

The boy’s golf team ended eighth out of nine teams in the SCC division.  In the SCC tournament, the boys finished eighth as a team.  With a score of seventy-nine, Brad Carvalho took home second place in the Individual Competition.  Coach Kevin Reedy believed that season could have gone a little better, but as it progressed, improvement was shown.

As far as next year, I think we have a good chance to finish much higher in the conference with everyone from the team returning. We had a lot of freshman in the line-up who gained some valuable experience and hopefully they can improve and get the team moving in the right direction,” said Coach Reedy.
