Warriors volleyball sweeps Westford, beats Milford in two-win week
WAYLAND — Boys volleyball ran its winning ways through two more opponents and baseball edged Boston Latin before falling to Concord-Carlisle, headlining a week that saw nearly every Wayland High spring program in action between May 4 and May 10.
TOWN
The Recreation Department remained in spring-summer registration mode through the week, with the 2026 Spring-Summer Brochure live and the ActivityReg portal open for programs and camps. A recent notice from Recreation Director Katherine Brenna confirmed that all town fields are open for the season, though the department also flagged that Week 1 of summer camp will start late due to the lingering effects of what it called "the Blizzard of '26."
At Annual Town Meeting on May 4, voters moved through housekeeping articles touching town finances and personnel, including amendments to the personnel wage and salary classification plan covering "recreational and seasonal positions." Articles tied to the Holiday Road site and Sherman Bridge were tabled or withdrawn, according to discussion at the May 6 Historical Commission meeting. Separately, the town honored longtime journalist Michael M. Short with the C. Peter R. Gossels Good Government Award and Yawu Tang with the Lydia Maria Child Award.
HIGH SCHOOL
Boys volleyball was the story of the week. The Warriors beat Milford 3-2 on Tuesday and followed with a 3-0 sweep at Westford Academy on Friday, stacking two more wins on a season that continues to trend up. The JV squad dropped both ends, falling 2-0 at Milford and 2-1 at Westford.
Baseball split its two varsity games. Wayland jumped Boston Latin 10-6 at home on Tuesday, then ran into Concord-Carlisle on Friday and dropped a 4-2 decision at the Varsity Baseball Field — a tight loss to a Dual County League rival. JV baseball lost both games.
Girls lacrosse delivered the week's high-scoring fireworks, opening with a 17-13 win over Ursuline Academy on Monday and dismantling Boston Latin 18-4 on Tuesday at Joe Moakley Park. The Warriors' three-game stretch ended Thursday with a 16-7 loss to Lincoln-Sudbury at home, a tough result against one of the state's perennial DCL powers.
Boys lacrosse split, too. The Warriors hammered Boston Latin 16-4 at Stadium Field on Tuesday before traveling to Holliston on Saturday morning and falling 12-6 on Kamitian Field.
Softball mirrored the baseball schedule: a 10-5 win at Boston Latin's Roberto Clemente Field on Monday, then a 5-4 loss at Concord-Carlisle on Friday — a one-run defeat that stings in the league standings.
Tennis had a quieter week on the scoreboard. Boys tennis lost 3-2 to Boston Latin on Monday and 4-1 to Concord-Carlisle on Friday. Girls tennis dropped both matches, 5-0 to Boston Latin at Harvard's Beren Tennis Indoor Courts on Monday and 3-2 at Concord-Carlisle on Friday. Boys and girls track ran a meet at Acton-Boxborough's Leary Field on Wednesday. Coed sailing competed twice, including a Thursday outing at the Winchester Boat Club.
MIDDLE SCHOOL
No middle school sports results were published in the available sources this week.
YOUTH
Wayland Little League's spring season is in full swing, with the league reminding families that spring registration is closed and pointing summer-program seekers to a new sign-up. The league also rolled out a filterable 2026 schedule view for divisions, teams and fields, and celebrated the completion of the Eliza J. Norton Foundation's Build with Heart dugout project at Cochituate Park, which Wayland Little League sponsored as a Champion-level partner.
Wayland Youth Soccer continued spring BAYS play and reported all fields open for Monday, May 11 (with a reminder to resecure Claypit Hill goals with sandbags). The league also congratulated its 7-8th grade Boys Strikers team on advancing to the MTOC Tournament. Wayland Youth Lacrosse and Wayland Youth Basketball had no new public announcements during the period; WYBA's 2025-26 winter program registration closed last fall. The Wayland Community Sports Center remains in fundraising and planning mode following last spring's Town Meeting passage of Article 36, the non-binding resolution to explore indoor recreational uses at 193-207 Main Street.
SENIOR
The Council on Aging published its May 2026 newsletter and continues to run its regular COA Fitness Schedule out of the Community Center at 8 Andrew Avenue. The COA office will be closed May 19 and May 25.
LOOKING AHEAD
Boys volleyball, riding back-to-back wins, carries the most state-tournament momentum into next week. Baseball and softball both face quick turnarounds after one-run-type losses to Concord-Carlisle, and girls lacrosse will look to bounce back from the Lincoln-Sudbury defeat. Families eyeing summer should note that Wayland Little League's summer registration and the Recreation Department's summer camp sign-ups remain open via ActivityReg.
