LOWELL \u2014 Drenched from head to toe, with their sneakers muddy and their backpacks damp, members of the Duxbury boys\u2019 crew team anxiously paced as they awaited life-changing news.<\/span><\/p>\n

When coach Oli Rosenbladt emerged from the boathouse adjacent to the Merrimack River with an enormous trophy in hand, the Dragons knew everything they worked for had come to fruition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Duxbury won the boys\u2019 eights team-point state title at the Massachusetts Public School Rowing Association spring championship in Lowell on Sunday. The Dragons leaned on their depth and a first-place finish from the second varsity eight to prevail in inclement conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While winning a state title is gratifying in itself, the triumph was even more glorious because of what preceded it. Just a few weeks ago, the Dragons hit what Rosenbladt referred to as a \u201crough patch\u201d where they had to spend much of their time indoors on the machines.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe vibe on the team was really grumpy,\u201d Rosenbladt said. \u201cI\u2019m experienced enough as a coach to know that a season like that can really turn either way. You can completely let go of the rope and not rally. To our kids\u2019 credit, they did. They rallied in a really impressive way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
