Multiple Acton-Boxborough Fighting for League Titles

High school teams throughout the state are coming down the stretch of the winter sports season, and for Acton-Boxborough athletes it's been a successful campaign so far.

Several local teams are vying for first place, including the AB girls hockey team which currently sits atop the Merrimack Valley/Dual County League standings.

The girls team is 12-2 overall, and boasts a sparking 9-0 record in league play. That puts the locals well ahead of Andover, which is in second place at 8-3-3 overall and 5-1-1 in league play.

Also on the ice, the boys hockey team is 7-3-3 overall and 5-1-3 in the difficult Merrimack Valley/Dual County standings. That is good for second place behind Central Catholic's mark of 10-2-2, 6-0-2 respectively. 

On the hardwood, the AB girls basketball team is making a charge at a league title as well. The locals sport a 10-3 overall record, and a mark of 4-1 in Dual County League play. That's good for second place behind Westford Academy, which is 13-1 overall and 4-0 in the league.

Acton-Boxborough's boys basketball team is looking good for postseason play as well. The team is 7-5 overall so far this season, sitting in second place in the Dual County League behind Newton South thanks to a league record of 3-2. Newton's first place record is 3-1 in DCL play, but the team is only 6-7 overall.
