HIGH SCHOOLS: Big 3 extends offer to Bridgewater-Raynham and Dartmouth

   Will the Big 3 become the Big 5?

    Athletic directors in the Big Three voted unanimously to accept Bridgewater-Raynham and Dartmouth into the league. The next step is District D, which is scheduled to meet next week. If everything goes well, the two current Old Colony League schools could join the Big 3 as early as the 2017-18 season.

    The move would leave Barnstable as the only remaining team in the OCL. Word is that the Red Raiders are slated to join a super league being formed down on the Cape. Should that fall through, one Big 3 official said he would be in favor of bring Barnstable aboard as the sixth team if they were interested.
