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 —……

The opponents include St. John’s of Shrewsbury, Milford, Doherty, Catholic Memorial, Westford Academy, Wachusett, Shrewsbury, and Algonquin. In other words, Leominster will not be hurting for strength of schedule points. In 2023, Leominster went 6-5, with a loss to St. John’s Prep in the……

Recruiting can be a funny thing sometimes. Colleges tend to fall in love with a player that fits every physical category. Is the player 6-foot-2? Does he weigh 225 pounds?
