Close-knit Joseph Case girls volleyball team secures Sweet 16 victory

SWANSEA — All season long, the Joseph Case girls volleyball team have bonded together like no other close-knit group. That showed all match long in Tuesday's Division 3 Sweet 16 game against No. 13 Lynn Classical. The No. 4 Cardinals punched their ticket to the Elite 8 after sweeping the Rams in three sets, 3-0, before a large gathering at Joseph Case High School. Case (18-4) will now face No. 5 Newburyport on Friday, Nov. 13, beginning at 6 p.m. "It was a great game today," said junior setter Madyson Silva, who finished the night with a game-high 29 assists and is seven assists away from the coveted 2,000-career assist mark. "I can't lie, it was very competitive between both teams. The cohesiveness of our team is great. We just love to play together."

Lindemann ’29: Crisis pregnancy centers are a threat Rhode Island can’t ignore

The Ocean State helped buoy the blue wave that swept the nation on Nov. 3. The Democratic nominee for governor, Helena Foulkes, won her race by over 100,000 votes. The Democrats running for the Senate, the House and Attorney General also won their races. None of these victories are surprising — we live in one of the bluest states in the country. Especially when it comes to pro-choice legislation, Rhode Island is extremely liberal. In 2019, the state codified the protections of Roe v. Wade into state law, and in 2024, we established legal protections for clinicians and prohibited legal action targeting legally provided health care.

Back from injury, D-R girls soccer's Cassidy Hasenfratz was electric

Cassidy Hasenfratz’s promising high school soccer career was nearly halted only a month into it. In October 2025 during a South Coast Conference match against rival Seekonk, the then-freshman forward broke her leg in three places through her growth plate, an injury that was not only season-ending, but involved over eight months of recovery before doctors finally cleared her to play this past June. "From the day I got injured, it was devastating because soccer has been a part of my life since I could walk and talk," Hasenfratz, a Rehoboth resident who was born in Switzerland to a Swiss father, Cédric, and an American mother, Kristen. "When you get injured like that, and have such a passion for the sport, you make it your first priority (to get back) and you have to have the passion and determination to keep going and move past the setback." Unable to bend her knee for four months or her ankle for another three, Hasenfratz was grateful for every physical therapy session and chance to get back on the ball, as each step brought her closer and closer to a return to the pitch. It's safe to say that return was a resounding
