When you talk about the top programs in the state, St. John’s Prep always has to be in that discussion. Under coach Brian St. Pierre, the Eagles have won three D1 state titles since 2018. The Prep always plays a physical brand of football that just presents a winning formula in November and December. It should come as no surprise, then, that the Eagles are expected to be one of…
The new BC coaching staff seemed to have themselves a very good weekend. 13 players took an official visit with the Eagles and seemed to really enjoy their time and experience in Chestnut Hill. I reached out to almost all of the recruits that were scheduled to be here (at least the ones that had open DM’s, way easier that way) and two guys got back to me right away….
Since coming to Phillips Exeter four years ago, coach Panos Voulgaris has had that program on a steady climb up the NEPSAC ranks. Last year, Exeter went 7-2, and the only losses were to Choate by three points and Cheshire Academy by two points. So Exeter is playing competitive football with the elite of the elite NEPSAC programs. Don’t expect that to change anytime soon. When it comes to players,…
You win games with the big boys up front. If that wasn’t clear, it should be now, at least when it comes to football in the Northeast. On Saturday morning, Rivals unveiled its top recruit for each state, although, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont and New Hampshire were not included when it comes to New England. The top guys in both Massachusetts and Connecticut play on the O-line. In Massachusetts, Dexter…

WESTWOOD- The Catholic Conference held its first annual showcase on Thursday night. Over 40 college coaches from all three levels of football were on hand to watch some of the best players in Massachusetts and New England. The showcase was broken down into testing stations and position drills. It was organized by the head coaches and the Xaverian coaching. Assistant coach Mark White did a great job of making sure…
For many high school football players, a showcase is a good way to get on the radar of college coaches. But for Xaverian’s Micah Amedee, the defensive lineman is more than well known. He is a verbal commit to Boston College. Did that stop the 6-foot-3, 270-pounder from participating in Thursday night’s Catholic Conference Football Showcase at Xaverian? Absolutely not. Amedee took part, and that says a lot both about…
One of the more consistent programs in the NEPSAC is coach Brian Barbato’s Deerfield Academy squad. Last year, Deerfield went 7-3, and earned a bowl victory over ISL champion Belmont Hill. The program has earned NEPSAC bowl wins in 2019, 2021, and 2023. With the competition Deerfield faces both in the regular season and postseason, that is quite the accomplishment. So it should come as no surprise that Deerfield will…
