Meet Megan Waite

Shrewsbury senior captain Megan Waite leads the Colonials field hockey squad.

For Shrewsbury High School Senior Megan Waite there’s no time like the present. As a four-year member of the Shrewsbury field hockey program and a 2011 captain of the Colonials, Waite knows what it takes to be successful in the Shrewsbury system.   Shrewsbury is off to a fast start in 2011, jumping out to a 3-0-3 record through the first six games.

She’s a forward but she’s bounced around and played several different positions,” said Shrewsbury Head Coach Lauren Chenervert, now in her 13th year on the Colonials bench. “She wasn’t fully 100 percent today because she got hurt in our last game but when she’s …

Desai and the Colonials Prepare for the Postseason

Desai has had a stellar campaign for the Colonials, including a no-hitter against North Middlesex Regional on May 20. “Josh has been our M.V.P this year by far. We’re a completely different team when he’s on the mound,” said Shrewsbury manager Lee Diamantopoulos. “He’s one of those kids who bring the intangibles and a level of toughness to the field everyday. He has the qualities of a player you just can’t coach.” The Colonials enter the Central Mass. Division 1 Tournament with a 10-10 record.
