Who is the H.S. Athlete of the Week for April 8-14?

Another week of high school sports action has come and gone in the Greater Taunton area.

Last week, Dighton-Rehoboth boys volleyball continued one of their best starts to a season in years while Taunton baseball suffered its first loss to rival Franklin in a state title rematch but bounced back against Mansfield. A Taunton girls lacrosse player hit a career milestone in a local showdown against Dighton-Rehoboth while Taunton boys lacrosse earned its first Hockomock win since returning to varsity status, Taunton and Dighton-Rehoboth softball continued their strong starts and both Bridgewater-Raynham and Bristol-Plymouth scored some impressive wins.
