Poirier opened the <strong>2016</strong> season<br />
with 11 straight victories before<br />
finally losing to Milford, a division<br />
2 school, but bounced back<br />
with an impressive 3-0 win over<br />
Nipmuc improving to 12-1. In<br />
the Dual Valley Conference the<br />
Blue Raiders still are undefeated<br />
with two impressive five set wins<br />
over Whitinsville-Christian.<br />
During both matches the victories<br />
came down to two points.<br />
<strong>Hopedale</strong> won 21-19 the grab<br />
the first five set win and 15-13 in<br />
the second one.<br />
Having a good number of<br />
returning starters back, Mainini<br />
didn’t have to tinker with the<br />
lineup all that much. They only<br />
change from last year was moving<br />
Van Zile into a setter role,<br />
a position that the junior had<br />
never played before at all.<br />
“Jenna had never set before,<br />
but she took on the responsibility<br />
for the good of the team;<br />
she’s been a solid player taking<br />
over her sister’s role,” Mainini<br />
said. “Along with Morgan (Foley)<br />
also setting it gives us two setters<br />
playing opposite of one another<br />
so we always have a setter in the<br />
front as well as in the back.”<br />
Despite having only one loss<br />
the <strong>Hopedale</strong> Coach is looking<br />
for diversity from his offense.<br />
He’s hoping that the squad will<br />
become more comfortable with<br />
one another on the court allowing<br />
them to switch things up at<br />
the net. Mainini would also like<br />
to see his girls become more consistent<br />
with their blocking. If they<br />
could master that, they may be<br />
able to actually win the Division<br />
3 Central Championship this fall<br />
instead of being the runner-up.<br />

“If we’re lucky enough to get<br />
out of the districts we are going<br />
to see a lot more bigger and<br />
skilled attackers on the other side<br />
of the net,” the Coach said.<br />
On Friday October 21, the<br />
Blue Raiders swept Sutton 3-0<br />
to capture the Dual Valley Conference<br />
Championship leaving<br />
<strong>Hopedale</strong> at 15-1 (9-0 in the<br />
DVC) on the season. Leading<br />

<strong>Hopedale</strong> Cultural Council Seeks New Members<br />
The <strong>Hopedale</strong> Cultural<br />
Council is a group of volunteers<br />
appointed by the Board of Selectmen.<br />
Our main function is<br />
to award grants annually from<br />
state appropriations to individuals<br />
and organizations for community<br />
projects and events.<br />
Additionally, in the past we<br />
have organized the summer<br />
band concerts, the Day in the<br />
Park (September) and the Student<br />
Art Show (December). We<br />
also sponsor group theater trips<br />
to Boston and Providence.<br />
Unfortunately, this year we<br />
will not be able to sponsor the<br />
Student Art Show at the Community<br />
House because our<br />
membership on the council has<br />
declined. We are hoping that<br />
our other activities will not be<br />
curtailed because of a lack of<br />
volunteers.<br />
We are looking for people to<br />
join the council. We meet a few<br />
times a year for planning purposes.<br />
Members work on projects<br />
on their own time and are<br />
present at our events. Please see<br />
our Facebook page (<strong>Hopedale</strong><br />
Cultural Council-Community<br />
Organization) for photos and<br />
videos of past activities.<br />
Current members are : Ellen<br />
Murphy, Treasurer, Paula Galligan,<br />
Secretary, Sally Decelles,<br />
Grant Coordinator, Virginia<br />
Larkin, and Ann LaBrode.<br />
