For a while, athletically, Deerfield Academy was known mostly as an elite boys lacrosse school. Football-wise, it was known as a competitive, but not dominant, program. That is starting to change. Under the guidance of coach Brian Barbato, Deerfield has grown into a gridiron power in the ever-competitive NEPSAC Class A division. In 2019, Deerfield beat a previously-unbeaten Milton Academy team in a NEPSAC bowl. Then, in the next NEPSAC…

And for as good as Milton was those years, the Mustangs will compete for a tite in 2022, as well. And it is not often that…

When Milton Academy tight end Andrew Rappleyea committed to Michigan on January 16th, he did it because he thought that was the best place for him athletically and academically. Despite verbally committing to Michigan, the Wolverines were not Rappleyea’s first choice. He always wanted to play at Penn State. The New York native was disappointed that the Nittany Lions couldn’t offer him a scholarship at the end of last year….

There is a bit of a conundrum now with St. John’s of Shrewsbury. On the one hand, the Pioneers are located in Central Massachusetts, and that part has not changed. On the other, St. John’s is a member of the Catholic Conference, a league with all teams from Eastern Mass. So what is it? Is St. John’s an EMass or CMass team. Right now, the Pioneers get ranked in both EMass…
