Bailey's big day: Top Greater Taunton H.S. sports performers for April 22-28

Another week of the spring high school sports season is upon us in the Greater Taunton area.

Last week, a freshman helped Taunton softball to an extra innings comeback win while Dighton-Rehoboth softball, featuring three pairs of sisters, bounced back from an early close loss for a pair of strong wins. Bristol-Plymouth softball continued to put its offensive prowess on display, while both Taunton and Dighton-Rehoboth baseball earned a couple of solid wins. Several area track athletes had top 10 finishes at the MSTCA Warrior Invitational while Bridgewater-Raynham boys lacrosse had a solid showing in the Coaches Cup.
