Cole Finney and the Hingham Harborman have a chance to earn a program defining win tonight. Week 4 doesn’t feature the sheer number of heavyweight match ups like last week did but there are still some quality match ups. Here are our top match ups for the weekend. Brockton Boxers (1-2) at #3 Everett Crimson Tide (2-1): Since losing to Springfield Central in their opener, Everett has got their groove…
Ryan Halliday and King Philip renew acquaintances with their arch rivals Franklin this week. There is only a handful of good games this weekend but they have huge implications. 1. Catholic Memorial (3-0): The Knights got tested for the first time this season by Springfield Central and passed with a 21-13 win. 2. St. John’s Prep (3-0): The Prep made a huge statement with a big 28-14 over Central Catholic. 3. Everett (2-1): Everett needed…
Week 3 featured some great games. Here is our breakdown of the week that was in Massachusetts High School Football. 1. Catholic Memorial grinded out a 21-13 win over Springfield Central. It wasn’t pretty but John DiBiaso’s squad got the job done. 2. The Prep beating Central Catholic only reinforces the notion that they are the only team in D1 that can legitimately beat Catholic Memorial. 3. We already knew…
Will Lederman and the Natick Redhawks could make a huge statement tonight with a win over Brockton. #4 Springfield Central (1-1) at #1 Catholic Memorial (2-0): For the third straight week, Springfield Central is heading east. This time they face their toughest challenge as they play the number one team in the state in CM. The Knights have been as good as advertised thus far despite getting a game out of…
Sophomore quarterback Ayden Pereira of Central Catholic put on a show last weekend. 1. Catholic Memorial (2-0): The Knights almost blew a 28-0 lead but hung on for a 35-20 win over St. John’s Shrewsbury. 2. Central Catholic (1-0): Putting up 55 points on one of the best defenses in the state will get people’s attention. 3. St. John’s Prep (2-0): Matt Crowley and company are just rolling along. No one is really…
Jay Brunelle put on a show on Friday night at CM but it was not enough for the Pioneers. Week two of the high school football season in Massachusetts didn’t feature as many upsets. There were however some lopsided wins. Here are my thoughts. 1. St. John’s Shrewsbury acquitted itself well in a 35-21 loss to Catholic Memorial. The Pioneers have the skill to match up and keep it close….

Catholic Memorial (1-0): The Knights proved why they were the pre-season number one team in the state by crushing Lynn Classical. Springfield Central (1-0): If you didn’t notice the Golden Eagles before, I bet they got your attention after beating Everett soundly. St. John’s Prep (1-0): Matt Crowley and company rolled BR. The Eagles are good. It is time we gave them more respect. Mansfield (1-0): The Hornets rolled B.C High but…
Barnstable got people’s attention with their 20-14 win over Xaverian on Friday night. Week one of the high school football season in Massachusetts featured some big performances and a couple of upsets. Here are my thoughts on the week that was. 1. Barnstable upsetting Xaverian shouldn’t be considered an upset because the Red Raiders have been a program in the rise the last three years. They are a legitimate threat…
Springfield Central at Everett: The game of the week as Springfield Central travels east to battle Everett. The Tide are loaded with young skill and are explosive offensively but Springfield Central’s defense could be the best defense the Tide sees all season. This game will be close but I am picking the Tide at home. Final score: Everett 27 Springfield Central 20 B.C High at Mansfield:Mansfield handled the Eagles last…
