BRAINTREE — “The story is not over,” Braintree junior Jack Goddeeris said. But Goddeeris and The Wamps’ (16-6) 2025 season ended on Monday night after suffering a heartbreaking 3-1 (20-25, 25-22, 25-23, 27-25) loss to No. 9 Acton-Boxborough in the Round of 16 of the D-I state tournament. The final score doesn’t give justice to the fight the Wamps displayed all game and all season long. No matter how many points they would go down, they would fight right back into it.
