Football Season is in Full Swing - Players are Giving a Valiant Effort!
The Wachusett Regional Middle School football season is in full swing and this year’s squad is giving a valiant effort on the field. The captains for this years team are Spencer Conley, Brian Pupecki, Austin Fiske, while game captains have included; Ethan Bloomquist, Reid Williams, and Chris Smith.
The high-flying offense, led by the resolute Quarterback Steve Sambito has shown the ability to move the ball against even the toughest of competition. Twin-towers, Ethan Bloomquist and Grayson Baker, snag most all throws coming their way on the outside. Do everything running-back, Caulin Holmberg keeps defenses honest as he can score anytime he touches the ball, running or catching. Opening holes on the offensive line and trying to keep Sambito upright are the likes of Nick Honaker, Matt Vigeant, Austin Fiske, and Logan Quirk. The fearsome, yet opportunistic Mountaineer defense is spearheaded by hard-hitting linebackers Spencer Conley and Reid Williams. The defensive line is anchored by the formidable Erick Piedrasanta, Joe Hayes, and Ryan Tracey, while the sly Brian Pupecki is a constant disruption in the offensive backfield. The defensive-backs keeping opposing receivers from reaching pay-dirt are all-around athlete Vincent Cappabianca and the fearless Jacob Bujnowski-Rivera. Meanwhile, Hayden Jacobson mans a multitude of spots on both sides of the ball adding his dynamic play-making abilities where they may be needed. A special mention goes to Chris Smith. Running, catching, blocking, scoring on offense, then making key interceptions and touchdown saving tackles all over the field on defense, Chris is the heart of the Mountaineer squad.
Now in its ninth season, the Wachusett Regional Middle School team is coached, as it has been since its inception, by Mr. Turgeon. “As always, it’s a true pleasure working with the young men of the Wachusett District as we ready them for the next level of football, and more importantly, teach them how to face and overcome adversity on and off the field.”

8th Graders Visit Monty Tech- You can still sign up for the 7th and 8th grade VIP!
On Monday October 21st, sixty 8th grade students visited Monty Tech. We were able to tour a handful of vocational-technical trades. These included the graphics design program where students learn animation, design graphics for t-shirts, print advertisements, etc. Monty tech offers a Veterinary track taught by two veterinarians who run an animal vet clinic at the school (a brand new building there). We also toured the child development track, cabinet making, masonry, and welding tracks where students were able to see current projects happening such as building a local home with Habitat for Humanity. There are many great options and so many more tracks to explore. See their website for more details: https://www.montytech.net/
Some helpful information for parents/guardians if you are considering Monty Tech:
Monty Tech provides bus services to and from Monty Tech for Holden Students
