• 7/8 Boys Soccer dominated Cohasset at home on the evening of Saturday, November 1, winning 5-0. The team finished the first half with four belters of goals from Joseph Johnston, Reefe Markowitz, Henry Littlefield, and Finn Smith. The game featured strong defense, great passing and communication from the team as well as the boldness to capitalize on every opportunity.

• 5/6 Girls Soccer finished the fall season undefeated with a 3-0 victory against Carver on Saturday, November 1. Willa Briton scored two goals and Charlie Ward had one. With the wind, Hull’s pressure from Ada McMullen, Hailey MacLeod, and Erin Goodfellow kept the ball in the defenders’ zone. Sydney O’Brien had a shutout game in goal. Everyone played a fantastic game in the season finale.

• The Hull Pirates Midget Football team battled past a tough Lower Cape squad, earning a hard-fought 28–20 victory to advance to the Old Colony Youth Football League Super Bowl. Captain Christian Silva led the Pirates’ offense, finding the end zone multiple times behind a dominant offensive line anchored by Shaine Hutcheson, Cormac Farley, Evan Doyle, Jacob Goodrich, Chase Silva, James Rand, and Jack Ranger. Captain Julian Lundrigan opened the scoring with a quarterback rush and later electrified the crowd with a pick-six, extending Hull’s lead. On defense, Ranger, Silva, Hutcheson, and Farley were relentless in the trenches, recording multiple sacks and forcing key turnovers. The Silva brothers spearheaded a stingy defensive effort, combining for several tackles for loss alongside Chance Ervin, Caden Rangel, Maclin Concannon, Cruz Costigliola, and Jayden Sheets. Head Coach Jeffery Lundrigan, assisted by Dave Gibbons, Mike Silva, Andrew Ziniti, and Hudson Sestito, praised his resilient team after Sunday’s win. “I am extremely proud of these kids for showing up every week, sometimes with only 11 players, and never quitting on each other,” Lundrigan said.

Despite facing larger programs all season, the Pirates’ trademark grit and heart have carried them to the championship. Hull lost key contributor Jet Minkler to an injury but will welcome back eighth-grader Aiden Gibbons from injury just in time for the Super Bowl. The team would like to thank their weigh-in representative, Karen Goodrich, as well as the HYFA Midget cheer staff and cheerleaders for their support this season. The Pirates travel to Nauset High School this Sunday, November 9 to face the Dennis-Yarmouth Dolphins in the OCYFL Super Bowl at 11:30 a.m. All Hull fans are encouraged to make the trip to Cape Cod and cheer on the Pirates as they aim to sink the Dolphins’ ship and bring home the championship!
