Sandwich, Duxbury, Franklin, and Wellesley all lost and move down slightly following clean weeks for Lexington, Westford, and Chelmsford. Norwell fell to Hingham by eight goals, and Lincoln-Sudbury to Chelmsford by 12, so each team drops accordingly. Hamilton-Wenham beat Newburyport, and Ipswich beat Hamilton-Wenham, so the Tigers have Cape Ann bragging rights until further notice. <\/span><\/p>\n
