Four times over the past 40 years, the Bedford High School men’s soccer team has won an MIAA North sectional championship. And four times, the Buccaneers have lost to the South champion in the state semifinals. And each time the score has been the same: 1-0.
The latest chapter in this exercise in déjà vu unfolded Tuesday night at Manning Field in Lynn. Medway High School’s Troy Newman headed a shot into an open side of the net six minutes into the second half. And although the Bucs had a clear territorial advantage for the rest of the game, the single score stood up.
