PAWTUCKET — Lincoln School’s doubles team of Hayley Lough and Jamie Pine continued their mastery of Mount’s Katherine Porcaro and Emily Cardosa in Saturday’s state championship finals at Slater Park.
Mount won the first set 6-4 before the Lincoln School duo used a topspin lob technique to great advantage while winning the final two sets, 6-1 and 6-2. The Lynx team has won all three matches this season between the No. 1 doubles squads of the Division I powers.
BURRILLVILLE – It was a day that Kevin Deschamps and his Burrillville teammates soon won’t forget.
Deschamps finished with 202 rushing yards on 14 attempts with four touchdowns as the Burrillville picked up its first win of the season, blowing past Scituate, 45-6, in a non-leaguer Saturday at Alumni Field.
“It was great to see the kids enjoy today,” said Broncos head coach Gennaro Ferraro, whose team has absorbed more than its fair share of close setbacks. “It was nice to see all that hard work pay off.”

SMITHFIELD — There is nothing stopping mayors and city councils from passing an ordinance right away that stops COLAs (Cost of Living Adjustments) on municipal employee pensions, General Treasurer Gina Raimondo told a business forum Friday morning.
