One year ago, a senior pitcher by the name of Shea Hurley led the Westfield High School softball team to a Western Massachusetts championship. Without their field general, the Bombers stumbled to a 2-7 start this season.
Westfield finished strong down the stretch, winning three of its final four games, and then made some noise in the PVIAC tournament with a thrilling quarterfinal win over Longmeadow and a narrow defeat to eventual runner-up Agawam.
Although it was the end to Westfield’s quest to defend its Western Mass crown, it has not deterred them from attempting to make yet another run.
Westfield pitcher Hailey Zanolli tossed a two-hitter, allowing just one run and no walks while striking out 10 batters, outdueling Gabrianna Arigghi to help the No. 31 Bombers advance past No. 34 Bristol Plymouth, 3-1, in a Division 2 state tournament preliminary round game on Friday.
Westfield advances to play second-seeded Marshfield (18-2) in the Round of 32 on the road Sunday at 1 p.m.

Every day in school matters—attendance builds success.

Hey students — showing up is your superpower. Each day you’re in class you level up your skills, meet friends, and get closer to your dreams. Be here. Be curious. Be unstoppable. #attendancematters
Regular school attendance is one of the strongest predictors of student success. When students come to school each day they learn new skills, stay connected with teachers and classmates, and access the supports they need to thrive. Chronic absenteeism can make it hard to catch up — but every day missed is also an opportunity to improve. Let’s work together — families, teachers, and neighbors — to make sure every student can be present, safe, and ready to learn. #EveryDayCounts #AchievingExcellenceTogether
The Westfield High School Drama Club will present “Curtains: School Edition,” a 1959-era whodunit, on April 30 and May 1 and 2 at 7 p.m.
“Curtains: School Edition” is a musical comedy about Lieutenant Frank Cioffi, a theater-loving detective who investigates the murder of a profoundly untalented leading lady during the opening night of a new musical in Boston called “Robin Hood a Western Tale.” While quarantining the casting crew, Cioffi works to solve the case, save the show and find love.
The play is directed by Owen Snyder, choreographed by Hannah Bruno, with music directed by Korey Bruno and Patrick Kennedy.
Tickets for “Curtains: School Edition” are $5 for students and $10 for adults, and they are available at the door. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. each evening.
