Baseball travels to Landmark School on Saturday for their EIL opener. The teams have played some close games in the last two years, so it should be an exciting matchup! The Warriors will then host Gann Academy in their home opener on Tuesday at 4pm at Wheeler Farm.
Girls Tennis also opens EIL league play this week with an away match at Bancroft School on Friday, April 4. The match is set to begin at 4:30pm against the Bulldogs.
Boys Tennis opened the season with a win against Mt. St. Charles Academy before the break. The team next hits the court next Wednesday and Friday at home for two EIL matches. Their opponents will be Bancroft School and Concord Academy. Concord and Wheeler have been paired up in the NEPSAC Class C Championships the last two seasons, so the match should be a great early test for the Warriors’ squad.
Girls Lacrosse knocked off Mt. St. Charles Academy in their opening game just before Spring Break. The Warriors traveled to Lincoln School yesterday for a scrimmage and came away with a win. The team travels to Concord Academy for their EIL opener on Friday.
Boys Lacrosse dropped their opening game to Mt. St. Charles Academy 11-5 before the break and they look to get back into the mix this Friday at Concord Academy. Both the boys and girls lacrosse games are set for 4:30pm at Moriarty Field in Concord.

Wheeler’s first-ever baseball season was 1992. This year marks the Warriors’ 34th season and the second under Head Coach Michael Schuermann. “Coach Sherm” was a standout pitcher at Salve Regina and captain of the 2016 Seahawks team, which captured a league championship. Since 1992 the Warriors have captured nine major championships, with their most recent in 2021 when the team went undefeated in the RIIL Division III regular season.
