Salem High School Athletics Update

Welcome back, Witches! With tryouts wrapping up last week, it has been incredible to see our athletes working hard this Preseason to gear up for an incredible Fall Sports season. From Preseason Trips and team bonding events to lifting sessions and Scrimmages, our Witches are putting in the work to be the best they can be! We are so proud of our programs and excited to see all we'll accomplish this season!

Salem High School is pleased to introduce Michael Daly as our new Athletic Director. Michael brings a remarkable record of educational leadership, athletic administration, coaching, program development, and student-centered service. We are excited to welcome him to the Salem Witches family and to the broader Salem Public Schools community.

The Girls Soccer team is locked in and ready for the season after a demanding Preseason. They put in some serious work this past week, going toe-to-toe in scrimmages against Pentucket, Georgetown and Stoneham to get game-ready. Amelia Meegan was wall in net, backed up by a rock-solid back line of MayMay Eichel, Dever Cornell, Julia Gauthier, and Isla Heppner. In the midfield, Hadley Austin, Jaliyah Valerie, and Caroline Antczak dictated the tempo with great footwork and ball control, while Makenzie Eichel and Ally Bedard brought pure hustle to every play. On attack, Ella Joy’s speed kept defenses on their heels, while Jackie Fritz showed off her lethal precision, burying three goals over the week—and another great goal from Isla Heppner. The girls are ready to open the regular season against Saugus this Tuesday.

The girls let their competitive natures shine as they worked through the quests at Boda Borg Boston!

Salem High boys soccer had a strong week, earning two 1-0 scrimmage victories over East Boston and Malden Catholic. Henry Beauparlant scored the game-winner against East Boston, while Ronaldo Chalefac found the net against Malden Catholic. Miles Richmond-Smith delivered an excellent performance against Eastie, and Henry Benoit and Nile McManus stood out against Malden Catholic.

Our Witches Volleyball program embarked on our third annual Preseason Trip to compete against North Attleborough High School. Our resilience was on display as we battled back in several sets to earn the 3-2 W! We couldn’t be more proud of our athletes for remaining flexible as we toyed with our lineups to get ready for Game 1. Our athletes also had an incredible tour through Providence College. Our tour guide gave us a behind-the-scenes look through the Division I practice facilities and Hall of Fame.

Our Witches Golf team has been busy the last few days, returning from their annual Preseason Trip to Florida and kicking off their first two matches of the season.

Salem Football got off to a great start this past week in two scrimmages at Pentucket and vs Lynn Tech! Our boys had some big offensive plays and huge defensive stops, and there was effort overall from the entire team. We look forward to our home and season opener this upcoming Friday, September 11, vs KIPP Academy! Hope to see everyone there! Go Witch!
