The No. 9 Westfield football team didn’t have much to celebrate about during last weekend’s season-opening loss to Milford.

One week later, though, that previous mindset changed.

So instead of letting history repeat itself, the Bombers erupted for 37 second-quarter points en route to an impressive 52-14 win during their home opener against Pathfinder Tech on Friday night.

After going 12-0 during the regular season last fall, the Western Massachusetts gymnastics championship will always be “salt on the wound” for Westfield gymnastics coach Christina Mobrice.

Despite carrying a perfect record into the final meet, the Bombers missed out on the title by 0.775 points.

“The thing with any championship, it’s about who has a better day that day,” she said. “Every team going in had a strong group of girls. We came in second, and we have some work to do.”

The good news for Mobrice, Annika Van Oostveen, who finished first in the All-Around in the championship, is back. And the senior is already picking up where she left off.

Van Oostveen took home the high score (35.2) for the All-Around Wednesday at Agawam High School as Westfield opened the new season with a first-place finish.

The Bombers’ score of 138.05 edged them over second-place Agawam (133.1). Minnechaug (128.3) and Chicopee Comprehensive (118.1) rounded out third and fourth place.

“The girls did a great job. They came in mentally strong,” Mobrice said.

More than 20 people, some virtually, attended the first Special Education Parent Advisory Committee (SEPAC) meeting of the school year on Sept. 11 in the Westfield River Elementary library to meet Gregory Rosenthal, Westfield’s new administrator of special services and student support services.

Most recently, Rosenthal, who started on July 1, was the director of special education and student services for the Douglas Public Schools. Prior to that role, he had a similar one with the Northbridge Public Schools. He has also worked as a special education teacher and administrator in public schools and out-of-district private special education schools.

Westfield High School Principal Charles Jendrysik announced on Friday, Aug. 1, that Lauren Figy Cadigan has been hired as a new assistant principal in the high school. She will be filling a position that was interim last year.

Cadigan, a graduate of Westfield High School, has served for the past seven years as the supervisor of science, technology and engineering for Westfield Public Schools. In that role, she has been instrumental in supporting the WHS science teachers and curriculum, implementing both the healthcare and engineering pathways, and helping to create the Innovation Lab, Jendrysik said.

Cadigan earned a bachelor’s in zoology and secondary education from Ohio Wesleyan University, after which she taught in Chicago, Illinois, through Teach For America. After returning home, she taught at the High School of Commerce in Springfield while completing her master’s in education with a focus on organizational management from Endicott College, before joining the staff of Westfield Public Schools.

“Mrs. Cadigan’s knowledge and enthusiasm as our Science, Technology, and Engineering Supervisor have served our students and the district very well over the last several years. I look forward to seeing the energy and ideas that she will bring to the staff and students at Westfield High School,” added Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski.

“I’m honored to step into the role of Assistant Principal at Westfield High School. As a longtime member of the Westfield Public Schools community and former Supervisor of Science, Technology, and Engineering, I’m excited to continue supporting students in new ways. I look forward to building strong relationships and fostering a positive, inclusive environment where every student can thrive,” Cadigan said following the announcement.

She added that everyone is excited to meet the incoming ninth grade families at freshman orientation on Monday, Aug. 25 at 9 a.m. at Westfield High School.
