Natick High School’s athletic programs have returned after a period of inactivity, heralding a new season for the Redhawks. The school’s defending state champion boys and girls soccer teams are back on the field, ready to resume competition and protect their titles.
The boys’ soccer squad will open its title defense on September 8 at home against Wayland, while the girls’ team is slated to begin its campaign on September 15 against Framingham, also at home. In a recent match, senior forward Luke Dougherty, wearing jersey number 2, contributed a goal that underscored the team’s renewed vigor.
Cohen’s New Chapter at Groton School
Oryx Cohen, who concluded his three‑year tenure as Natick’s girls basketball head coach and helped lift the program to statewide prominence, has accepted the varsity girls basketball coaching position at Groton School. He expressed excitement about the new role and took the opportunity to thank the Natick community for its unwavering support during his time at the high school.
Beyond the high school sidelines, Cohen continues to serve as director of the National Empowerment Center, extending his leadership and community‑focused initiatives outside the basketball arena.
