The Frontier boys soccer team clinched at least a share of the Moriarty League title on Friday in Whately. 

Hosting Southwick at Herlihy Park, the Redhawks scored three goals in the first half to cruise to a 4-0 victory. Frontier closed out its league slate with a 10-1-1 record, and with South Hadley sitting at 9-1-1 with one league game remaining next Thursday against Easthampton, the Redhawks can finish no worse than in a tie for the league championship. 

Max Millette opened the scoring off an assist from Gus Radner before Ian Paciorek scored an unassisted goal. Radner closed out the first half with a free kick goal from just outside the box to give Frontier its 3-0 halftime lead. 

Henry Pleasant closed out the scoring in the second half off an assist from eighth grader Mickey Brownlow. 

Franklin Tech 3, Putnam 0 — Colby Leete scored in the first half before Mason Thurston scored a penalty kick and an unassisted goal in the second half, lifting the Eagles to a win in Springfield Friday. 

Jack Gancarz provided an assist in the win. 

Pioneer 1, Hopkins 0 — Judah Glenn was tripped in the Golden Hawk box with one minute to go in the first half, with Panther Gavin Gammell converting the penalty kick to give Pioneer the lead at the intermission. 

The Panther defense — led Will Glazier, Jack Glazier, Braeden Tsipenyuk, Tad Loud and Hayden Girard — locked down Hopkins in the second half to earn the shutout in Northfield Friday.
