The rosters were revealed for the 46th Shriners Classic. Every year, this is a fun event for a great cause. You see some excellent football players going all out in a game that helps burn victims. The game is played at Bentley, and the crowds remain spirited for this event. Now, in recent years, not as many players suit up as those that used to. But the ones who do……
To see how far the Dexter program has come in the last 20 years is remarkable. It is a relatively new program, but coach Casey Day has made it one of the tops in New England in recent years. Top seasons in the Evergreen, and NEPSAC bowl games are practically an annual occurrence. And while the program has produced college performers at virtually every position, there is one type of……
As UConn continues spring practice, the Huskies may not have that clear-cut starter at the quarterback position. But what UConn does have, and it should not be undervalued, is experience. Both Joe Fagnano and Ta’Quan Roberson have been through the battles at UConn. The starter will probably be one of those two, but unless one transfers, you’re likely going to see both play over the course of the 2024. And……
Belmont Hill may have one of the best defensive end pairings in the country. This weekend, one of those players made his college intentions known. Sampson Onuoha, a 6-4, 240-pound player in the class of 2025, announced on Twitter that he had verbally committed to Duke University. Another class of 2025 defensive end at Belmont Hill, Tommy Rupley, is also a Power Five recruit, and picked up an offer from……
One of the best running backs to ever do it in the ISL has made his college choice. Bo MacCormack of BB&N on Friday announced his verbal commitment to Syracuse University. He will play for new Syracuse coach Fran Brown. This is a significant commitment for MacCormack, who had a total of about 20 offers. MacCormack is a supremely gifted and productive back, who has been nothing short of sensational……
A big transfer to the ISL was announced this week over Twitter. Jayden Campbell, who started at Brockton this past season as a freshman, announced that he will be transferring to Lawrence Academy, and reclassifying to the class of 2028. This is big news for both programs. For Lawrence, it means the Spartans have their heir apparent for Michael Landolfi. Landolfi was an all-league player who will be attending Boston……
What a first season it was as coach at Belmont Hill for Anthony Fucillo. The Winthrop native came over after a role as an assistant for Harvard. He took over a Belmont Hill team that went 3-5 in 2022. Fucillo then led the team to a 7-2 record and an ISL-7 championship this past fall. The only losses were to Lawrence Academy in the opener, then to a very good……
CHESTNUT HILL — Back when Jaedn Skeete signed with Boston College, then-Eagles coach Jeff Hafley threw a pretty big compliment the receiver’s way. Hafley said that the Catholic Memorial star was the best player in Massachusetts from that class of 2023. Considering who else was coming out that year — the likes of Samson Okunlola (Thayer/Miami), Joenel Aguero (St. John’s Prep/Georgia), and Boubacar Traore (Catholic Memorial/Notre Dame), among others —……
Bruce Rich Jr. is building something sustainable at Westford Academy. The Grey Ghosts have posted three consecutive winning seasons in the Dual County League after a 3-3 Fall 2 season. Rich played quarterback under his father at Chelmsford, where the Lions consistently had massive rosters and two-platoon lineups. The numbers under Rich at Westford have increased every year, and he has an intriguing approach to roster construction. “Our numbers are……
Quincy hired a new coach, as the Presidents looked over to the Hockomock League to grab their man. That coach is Ed DeWitt, who has been with Oliver Ames the previous five seasons. DeWitt is a 2004 graduate of Quincy, and is a member of the Quincy/North Quincy Football Hall of Fame. In his time with the Tigers, DeWitt compiled a record of 14-34. In his playing career, DeWitt was……
