WEST WARWICK — In a division where so many teams are so equally talented, small mistakes could be the difference between winning the Division II-South title or finishing fourth and earning a road date in the first round of the playoffs.
On paper, the North Kingstown baseball team has all the makings of a Final Four team in the Division I Tournament this spring.

Though it was a tough 2012 season for the North Kingstown boys lacrosse team, one that saw the Skippers finish at the bottom of the Division I standings with a 2-8 record, the team is looking to start taking steps forward in 2013 as they prepare to open their division schedule on Friday against Moses Brown.
Exeter-West Greenwich baseball coach Dave Gamba is well aware that replacing players like T.J. Cacciola and Zach Bourgeois won’t be easy.
North Kingstown softball coach Adam Laliberte expects his team to make the playoffs this season.

Not to be discouraged coming off a 3-13 season in 2012, the East Greenwich Avengers boys volleyball team takes the court in 2013 with a positive outlook on what the season may hold.
The East Greenwich Avengers baseball team opened their 2013 schedule on a high note, looking to build upon last year’s success, as they defeated the Middletown High Blue Dragons, 1-0, at home in Monday afternoon’s season opener.
