It was an action-packed Wednesday with multiple major Division 1 commitments, a 100th career point, multiple cross-country records falling, and the eight stars of the day.
Globe Schools Insider: Football on a Wednesday, a hooper headed to Florida, and major milestones

Five straight days of high school football kicked off with Sharon/Dedham hosting Martha’s Vineyard for a 42-0 victory thanks to two TD passes and a scoring scamper from senior QB Brady Shuffain, who was coming off setting the school’s single-game TD pass record with five in a 40-18 win over Wareham.

Your weekly look at the top high school sports stories.

More than 30 football games are slated for Thursday, with another 90 on Friday and a couple dozen on Saturday before Nantucket wraps up the weekend with a Sunday afternoon affair at Nashoba Valley Tech.

▪ Central Florida-bound Medfield senior Sidney Heavey surpassed 100 career points, the first in program history, during a 5-1 girls’ soccer win over Holliston. Heavey, the daughter of Kristin Lilly, has 62 goals and 41 assists.

▪ Senior Asa Labell broke the course record at Hamilton-Wenham, posting a time of 18 minutes, 7 seconds on the 2.8-mile course as part of a 15-50 sweep of Ipswich. She finished four seconds faster than the previous mark, set by teammate Grace Rich last season. Rich dropped out after experiencing a cramp in the second mile. “Grace and Asa were both running neck-and-neck. Once Grace wasn’t able to finish, Asa raced by herself for the last mile,” said coach Steve Sawyer.

▪ Triton senior Cassidy McBee set a course record at Ravenswood Park, winning the dual meet in 15 minutes, 52 seconds, although the Vikings lost by a point, 27-28 to Manchester Essex/Rockport.

▪ Newburyport senior Jack Oreal set a school record by posting 41 points at Rowley Country Club during a 186-168 golf win over Masconomet.
