The recruiting train keeps on rolling. For the third straight weekend, the BC staff hosted OV’s – which last through the end of June – and got multiple commitments from out-of-state guys that usually don’t end up picking Chestnut Hill over some of the other schools they had been considering. It’s clear that while the BC staff will prioritize local recruits (as they should), their pitch to national guys is……

The defenders were not able to go until the first movement on the offensive line. Still, some of the……

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.
