The 8 Cape Cod, Massachusetts Italian Spots Where The Sandwiches Are Worth The Trip

One Italian market on the Cape names some of its sandwiches after neighborhood dogs. I love that detail more than I can explain. The sandwich called Suede stacks two kinds of prosciutto with Taleggio cheese and orange fig spread on ciabatta. Elsewhere, a cheesemaker who missed fresh mozzarella from home started making her own on an island.

Minks, rats and a Cape Cod legend

Driving past a neighborhood patch of brush and wetlands, I watched as a critter, sleek and dark with a long tail, slid across the road. My brain tried to register similar animals I’ve seen on Cape Cod. But It was too small to be a fisher. And it was too far from significant water to be an otter.

Field Hockey clinches Elite 8 bid thanks to blowout win against Falmouth

Twenty games into a season that has already rewritten the program’s record books, the Fishermen Field Hockey team still hasn’t found an opponent capable of slowing them down.

Cord left Cape Cod coyote unable to move. Wildlife vets have questions

A Cape Cod coyote is showing signs of recovery after rescuers found a cord wound tightly around its neck, leaving the animal temporarily unable to move his legs and raising fears of a serious spinal injury. The eastern coyote was brought to the Cape Wildlife Center in Barnstable around midday on Nov. 9 after staff from the Yarmouth Division of Natural Resources rescued him. According to the department, a resident had noticed the animal in distress and reported it. "When he came in, he could not move any of his limbs at all," said Dr. Priya Patel, a veterinarian at Cape Wildlife Center . "He basically was just lying on the ground. He was aware. His eyes were moving, but he could barely lift his head." Wildlife vets initially feared coyote had suffered spinal damage Patel said the veterinary team immediately feared the animal had suffered spinal trauma. The cord was so tightly wrapped around his neck that it could not be seen under the fur, and it was "constricting so much of the soft tissue," she said. While spinal damage was the first concern, the team noted extensive swelling around the coyote's neck and hoped some of the neurological

Army football commit leads Barnstable football past Milford in Elite 8

MILFORD -- Anthony Parrella had his fingerprints all over the Barnstable High football team's 35-14 upset over No. 2 Milford in the Division 3 Elite Eight on Thursday, Nov. 12. Parrella returned an interception 95 yards for a score and added a pair of rushing touchdowns, one a 51-yard burst, for the No. 7 Red Hawks (7-3). Barnstable advances to the Final Four and will play the winner of Friday's game between No. 3 Marshfield and No. 6 North Attleboro. After trailing 14-7 at halftime, Barnstable scored 28 unanswered points in the second half. Milford got on the board first, with a 3-yard touchdown run by Wanderson Dos Santos and a successful PAT from Tyler Stewart. Barnstable's Perrella ran one in for a touchdown to tie it up, but Milford led again going into the second half. Just before halftime, Milford connected on what seemed at the time to be a momentum-swinging play. Vincent Loscerbo completed a pass to Jaxson Finnimore. As Barnstable rallied to tackle Finnimore, he lateraled to Eli Rosenberg who darted down the sideline for a 52-yard TD with 18 seconds left in the half to push Milford's lead to 14-7. Enter Parrella.

Home-field advantage boosts Sandwich girls soccer into quarterfinals

SANDWICH — Stressful. That’s the only word that the fourth-seeded Sandwich High girls soccer coaches and players alike could find to describe Thursday’s 2-1 golden goal victory over No. 13 West Bridgewater in the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Division 4 Round of 16. “I don’t know if I have a lot in me,” Sandwich head coach Yvonna Press said. “It was very stressful because they had their chances and we had our chances—and the wind was quite brutal.” The wind, which was whipping at 15 miles per hour from north to south across Gerald F. DeConto Veterans Memorial Stadium, made its impact felt. Gusts even surpassed 20 mph. West Bridgewater’s only goal was a direct result of the wind when the ball skipped awkwardly off the turf and over Sandwich goalkeeper Rena Mooney’s head for Sophia Hulme to fire from point-blank range into the roof of the net. The stress of trailing in the state tournament alleviated itself two minutes later after eighth grader Ginger Gaffney scored her first varsity goal to draw Sandwich level. But the tension ramped up as the minutes passed without a goal to break the deadlock. Sandwich dominated the run of play across the second

Challenging schedule pays off for Sandwich field hockey in playoffs

SANDWICH — There may have been a time — at least in theory — when if you stopped Elisabeth Stutzman, you stopped the Sandwich field hockey team's offense. Those days are gone. As evidenced in Thursday's Division 3 quarterfinal game against No. 8 East Longmeadow, the top-seeded Blue Knights received contributions from Stutzman, and others, primarily Raelyn Senno, in a 5-1 victory. Stutzman scored two goals, but Senno added two of her own. Sadie Clarkin also scored one goal, as the Blue Knights rolled to their sixth straight trip to the state semifinals. What is left is an offense that has players all over it who can score. Good luck stopping Stutzman, because opponents have to contend with everyone else, and Senno was happy to have a big offensive day herself. Pick your poison. "I think now, everyone is aware of Elisabeth," Sandwich coach Kelsy Beaton said. "One of the beautiful things is now other people are scoring." That is what Beaton was hoping for. She admits that earlier in the season, Stutzman was doing most of the scoring. As the season has progressed, more options have asserted themselves. The Blue Knights are more well-rounded now. "In the beginning of
