HOLDEN — When Thomas Anderson, Mike McGurn and Jack Smith were eighth graders in 2022, the three were invited by Wachusett football coach Mike Dubzinski to stand on the sidelines and watch the Mountaineers play in a Division 1 playoff game in Westwood. “I wanted that to be me one day,” said McGurn, who is now a senior captain for Wachusett. “We ended up losing,” said Anderson, also a senior captain in reference to the Mountaineers’ playoff loss to Xaverian that year. “I would say that really sparked our passion to come here, reset the losing mantra and get us back on track to a winning program.” Four years later, the trio did just that by helping fourth-seeded Wachusett beat No. 13 Shrewsbury , 49-14, in a Division 1 Round of 16 game Friday night. Anderson tossed three touchdown passes while Smith secured two rushing scores as the Mountaineers mustered their first playoff win since 2021. “To finally get a win and move onto the next round, there’s no better feeling than that,” Smith said. Said McGurn: “It means everything.” “To be able to make it through a playoff game and get the win,” Anderson added, “it’s everything.” FINAL: Wachusett

Acton Water District (AWD) officials are examining this possibility very seriously — but they caution that discussions with potential partner towns and MWRA are at an extremely early stage.
