Saugus' Samantha Ortega: Improbable upturn
Saugus cross country head coach Rene Paragas has never been one to mince words. Earlier this season, when he was asked about this year's six-time defending state champion girls cross country team, he described his team as "a bunch of blue collar runners," and said he didn't expect anyone to win any individual races. That was two months ago, and Paragas was being honest. Then entered sophomore Samantha Ortega, who is putting together one of ...
