The Globe’s Eastern Massachusetts rankings placed them 14th, while the MIAA Division I power list positioned them ninth, underscoring the team’s rapid rise.
Chemistry Forged in Childhood
Many of the players have shared Little League dugouts since elementary school, creating a bond that translates into selfless play on the field.
