Note: We wanted to create a new feature that honored the history of the high school game a little. This is a snapshot of MIAA play in 2003, and while a lot of that info is hard to access, we still remember a good amount of it. So here’s an attempt to capture those old glories. If you have any additional information from other years, it is welcome. Here is……

Observations from Day 1 of Patriots mandatory minicamp
The third ‘first’ of Jerod Mayo’s coaching career took place on an absolutely beautiful day in Foxborough on Monday. The first mandatory minicamp practice of the Mayo era lasted two hours and while it wasn’t pretty at times – especially for the offense – there was still some good stuff to take away from the non-padded session. As usual, here’s everything I saw from high on top of the hill……

Renegades continue to sputter with a second loss
Image courtesy of Boston Renegades This is certainly a new day for the Renegades franchise. After five years of dominating the Women’s Football Alliance, it seems that the rest of the league finally realizes this simply isn’t the same old Boston team. After seeing a 42-game win streak snapped against St. Louis, Boston used a bye week to reassess and thoroughly embarrassed its next opponent (New York) by scoring 90…

The opportunity to take over one of the top programs in New Hampshire was just too much for Trisciani to pass up.

Recruiting Roundup: St. John’s Prep
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……

Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla setting the bar high for Mayo
There’s been a lot of talk about how Jerod Mayo will fail because he doesn’t have any head coaching experience. Well, there’s another local coach who’s now three wins from a championship that didn’t have any head coaching experience when he took over last season and look how it’s turned out. In fact, Mazzulla wasn’t even on the bench two years ago, he was a row behind Ime Udoka. Mazzulla…

Damien Harris shares his thoughts on 2022 and Bill Belichick
Former Patriots running back Damien Harris was on the Athletic’s Football Show podcast recently with Robert Mays and talked about a variety of things including the offense during the 2022 season. Harris confirmed everything we pretty much already knew. It was a debacle. Harris said the players knew the offense under Matt Patricia and Joe Judge wasn’t going to work even before the season started. “We knew before our first…
