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.

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.
