MILFORD — On Monday, we went over to Milford to do a feature on Scarlet Hawks kicker/running back/linebacker Nick Araujo. We also had the chance to talk with Milford coach Dale Olson. It was a short conversation, but Olson hit on a few topics of note as his team prepares to face Natick in a nonleague game. Here’s what he said. (You’re winning games. How does the team feel about……
There were a few results that caught our eye over the weekend that were not included in our preview or Top 25 and 15 out teams. These squads aren’t ranked at the moment, but still bear watching. (In alphabetical order of winning team) Bishop Feehan 29, Attleboro 6 — We did not want to count out Feehan too quickly after the Shamrocks lost a competitive game to North Attleboro in……
One of the major results from the weekend was Worcester South earning a 14-13 victory over Grafton. With the win, the Colonels improve to 2-0, having defeated Leicester the opening week. Grafton dropped to 1-1. We expected South to be strong this year, but the Colonels were replacing one of the top running backs in the state in Angelo LaRose. But coach Bob LaRose has restocked the shelves, and South……

Dante Reno threw three second quarter touchdown passes, two of them to fellow transfer Tariq Mallory and one to tight end Luke Reynolds. The Cheshire defense would do the rest making a couple of key stops in the……
By Mike Scandura NEFJ Correspondent WARWICK – Zero. That’s the number of minutes Hendricken junior quarterback Dylan Lynch had played prior to Friday night’s Division I game against North Kingstown. But with No. 1 quarterback Jayden Falcone sidelined with a sprained ankle, Lynch was called on to fill a very big pair of cleats. To say Lynch didn’t disappoint would be a massive understatement, guiding the Hawks to a 21-14……

NORTH ATTLEBORO — With all due respect to the many high-flying passing offenses at every level of football, it remains true that playing great defense and running the football well is still a winning formula. In Friday night’s game at North Attleboro, Foxboro held fast to those tenets, and earned a massive, 14-0 victory in a Hockmock League crossover game.
