Woman Charged After Child’s Death
An Oak Bluffs woman who allegedly left a young boy she was babysitting alone in an SUV for several hours is facing a manslaughter charge after the boy died.
The boys basketball team ended post season play in the first round of the state division three south sectionals, losing to Apponequet 62-77.
Several Vineyard winter sport athletes have been named to All-Star teams in their respective conferences.
In boys’ basketball, captains Izak Browne and Jack Roberts earned Eastern Athletic Conference honors for the second year in the row. Girls’ basketball captain Jennie Lindland also repeated as an All-Star, and was joined by senior teammates Katie Stewart (also a captain) and Maggie Riseborough.
The march to the postseason continued this week with split results; the boys’ basketball team secured an easy victory on Tuesday while the girls took a hard-fought loss. Both basketball squads need just one more win to clinch a spot in the postseason tournament. Meanwhile, the fledgling swim team, hampered by illness and injury, hosted Sacred Heart in a close meet on Monday, but ultimately came up short.
