Now the race to the state championships has truly begun!
Hundreds of teams and thousands of high school athletes have (or are about to) received their postseason assignments from the MIAA and their leagues. For fans across the state, the best way to keep up with who is playing where and when is to follow the Globe’s in-depth high school sports coverage daily.
At the same time, students involved in the Globe’s unique sports photojournalism program will be at the games and meets, too, adding to the breadth of the Globe’s coverage.
For more examples of the students’ work, check out this week’s photo gallery below, which features more than 70 pictures from more than 20 students across Massachusetts.
