3. Field Condition Forces Early Postponements in Foxborough Spring Sports Season

The Foxborough High School spring sports season was scheduled to begin Monday, April 1 with the Warriors’ girls’ lacrosse team hosting Norwood. Field conditions, however, have forced FHS Athletic Director Caitlin Brown to postpone that game to April 8 and Tuesday’s boys’ lacrosse game against Mansfield to April 12. There is still no word on Tuesday’s FHS baseball opener vs. Mansfield.

“I am not sure about baseball, we are waiting to see how our field is doing before we make a determination,” Brown said.
