Led by double winner Isabela Texiera, the Revolution easily outdistanced second place Andover with 273 points to claim a third straight sectional crown.“It definitely was a team effort (Sunday),” Turner said. “With the fact that we didn’t have the chance to taper coming into the meet, we had to trust that the girls had the maturity and drive to do this. And they did.”The tone for the Revolution’s day got set right out of the block when they won the 200 free relay. Texiera won the first of her two events in the 50 free (23.61) where she blew away the field by over a body length.She later completed a sweep of the sprints in the 100 free (51.25) with an even more commanding four second margin on second place. ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 20:46:47 GMT

FOXBORO — It seemed like a foregone conclusion that Patriots rookie wide receiver Kayshon Boutte would be active for Sunday’s game against the Commanders with fellow wide receivers DeVante Parker out and Kendrick Bourne on injured reserve.That did not wind up being the case, however.
