It became apparent, during the latest budget working session, that the School Committee will not be able to both vote a budget number and name a selected candidate for Superintendent during its January 31st meeting, as had been planned.

The Hiller hockey program almost had it's second straight last period comeback in a week. After the Varsity scored 3 goals in the third against Milford to earn the tie, the JV's were looking to equal the task. Falling behind 2-0, Dan Delaney made a great end to end rush and finished it off with a great pass to Alex Juffras who buried it to put the Hillers on the board. Down 3-1to Ashland in the last period, the sustained fore check made for several chances. With the goalie pulled the Hiller attack again scored as Juffras netted his second of the night from Ryan Cunniff and Will Lindon.
