A Season of Growth and Expectation
Will Labrie, a senior pitcher and hitter for Durfee High School, saw his final regular‑season appearance end in a 7‑3 loss to Bridgewater‑Raynham. The game marked the close of the regular schedule for Labrie and his teammates, but the outing was just one chapter in a season that has already drawn praise.
Despite the defeat, Labrie finishes the year with a 3‑1 record, a sub‑1.00 ERA of 1.08 and 55 strikeouts in 41 innings, while batting above .300. His 3‑1 victory over the Trojans on April 8 remains the staff’s most impressive win, underscoring his dual‑role impact.
Coach Mike Martin highlighted Labrie’s dedication and the squad’s potential as they turn their attention to the postseason. The Hilltoppers finished league play unbeaten at 4‑0 and did not surrender a run to any Big 3 opponent, finishing the regular season with a 10‑10 record and a No. 25 ranking in the latest power listings.
With playoff seedings set to be released on May 27, the team is focused on building on its strengths and ironing out the close games that have defined their schedule. Martin urged the players to regroup, emphasize the positives, and aim for a deep tournament run.
