Scenes from Watertown High's field hockey game with Stoneham on Thursday, Oct. 20, 2022. Watertown won, 7-0, and earned the No. 1 seed in the MIAA state field hockey tournament.
The postseason has arrived for four Watertown High teams — field hockey, football, and boys’ and girls’ soccer — who will be competing in statewide tournaments run by the MIAA. Sadly, the season is over for WHS volleyball, which finished 5-17 and landed 41st in the Division 3 power rankings, just outside the tourney cutoff.
Here are how the other four fall teams fared, with their upcoming MIAA state tourney schedules and links to the power rankings and playoff brackets:
