Duxbury’s varsity and junior varsity cheer teams both won first place at the Scituate Invitational. Elsewhere, girls soccer tied Hingham, boys golf’s Jack Sutliffe advanced to the state tournament, and the Dragons’ other fall teams continued their regular-season and postseason pushes.

By the Numbers
  • Varsity and JV cheer: 1st place at the Scituate Invitational.
  • Girls soccer: 1-1 tie with Hingham.
  • Jack Sutliffe: tied for 2nd at sectionals with a 76, advancing to states.
  • Boys soccer: 6-5-3 overall after back-to-back 2-1 losses.
  • Girls soccer: No. 1 in Division 2; football: No. 4 in Division 4.
Yes, But

Cheer’s sweep was a strong start, but coach Jen Carley said tougher tests are ahead. Duxbury boys golf sent Sutliffe to states, while the team finished fifth at sectionals and missed qualifying as a group; the coach pointed to inconsistent play as a key challenge.

State of Play
  • Girls soccer’s late 1-1 draw with Hingham followed Anna Manganello’s first-half penalty kick.
  • Dance finished seventh overall at the Think Pink competition, placing seventh in Pom and eighth in Jazz.
  • Cross-country was preparing for the Patriot League Championships.
What’s Next

Cheer was set to compete at Bellingham on Nov. 1 and at Leagues on Nov. 5. Duxbury’s soccer teams were heading into their final regular-season matchups, while dance planned to compete at the Patriot League Dance Championship on Nov. 5.

Bottom Line

Duxbury’s cheer teams delivered the week’s headline result, while individual performances—including Sutliffe’s state qualification—kept the Dragons’ fall season moving forward amid tough competition and inconsistent results.
