A year after losing in overtime in the D4 Final 4, @CohassetSports completed its redemption story Sunday.

The top-seeded Skippers are D4 state champs after beating Sandwich. @WillyWright5 has the highlights, stats, photo gallery & story: https://t.co/oLaCU5mCVJ

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

Your D4 state champions @CohassetSports @kstone06 @bostonlaxnet

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

Let the celebration begin. Cohasset defeats Sandwich 8-4 in D4 state championship @bostonlaxnet @kstone06

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

Cohasset calls a timeout with 8 minutes left and up by 5. Lot of time left for anything to happen

@bostonlaxnet @kstone06

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

End of the third: Cohasset 8, Sandwich 2. Four goals by the Skippers in the quarter and just 12 min left for Sandwich to rally back

2 minutes later, same result. Another hitch move by Appleton. 6-2 Cohasset

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

Liam Appleton with the hitch and Cohasset extends their lead to 3

Sandwich has also gone a perfect 8 for 8 at the face off X which is something to keep an eye on in the second half

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

Halftime: Cohasset 4, Sandwich 2. Both teams trading possessions and getting shots but lots of forced turnovers on both sides have kept this one close

Shane Corcoran with the stuff! Sandwich buries it on the other end but trail 4-2 with two minutes until halftime

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

3-1 Cohasset with six minutes left in the half. Sandwich’s zone defense doing a good job in preventing this game from getting out of hand.

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

In the first, Rob Norton for Cohasset puts one in on man up

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

End of the first: Cohasset 2, Sandwich 1. Both teams with 3 saves from outstanding goalkeeping and defensive effort.

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

1-0 Cohasset. Captain Luke Willmott gets them in the board within a minute of play

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

Some background: The two teams played during the regular season where Cohasset (19-3) won 10-4. Since that loss in May, Sandwich (15-7) has rattled off seven straight wins to get here. Should be a dog fight between the top two ranked teams in D4.

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

Get ready for the D4 Boys Lax State Championship starting in a few minutes with Cohasset facing off against Sandwich. Both teams starting to fire up.

Needham left no doubt in a 10-goal win over Natick in the first round of the MIAA D1 tournament on Tuesday night.

Final: Needham 16, Natick 6. The Rockets travel to Franklin on Thursday for their second round matchup. @kstone06 @bostonlaxnet

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

End of the third: Needham 14, Natick 4. The Rockets shot out of a cannon to start the second half and don’t seem to be looking back. @bostonlaxnet

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

Some sights and sounds of the second quarter: Quinn Pinkham putting one in for the RedHawks

[Willy Wright @WillyWright5]

At the half: Needham 9, Natick 3. Defensive pressure from Jimmy Kenney and Jack Curran have kept the lead up for the Rockets. The bright spot for the RedHawks right now is Sophomore Ray Gilkes II who’s gone 13 of 14 from the face-off X
