The Dedham Select Board took time out of their meeting at Town Hall last Thursday to recognize two TVL champion teams: girls soccer and field hockey. Both teams had exceptional seasons full of hard work and success for which the town wanted to recognize.
The board identified each team's impressive accomplishments while also recapping important moments in their respective seasons. Each athlete was then called up to the table of Selectmen and given a certificate of excellence in a maroon and gold folder.
The coaches of both teams each got an opportunity to speak. Erin MacDonald, head coach of the field hockey team, stated that both teams are representative of what women can accomplish in sports.
As the ceremony ended, the girls were given a round of applause from both the Select Board and the parents attending.
