By Harry Pray NEFJ Correspondent PROVIDENCE – In what is always the most anticipated high school football game in the state of Rhode Island each time the teams meet, Hendricken visited LaSalle Friday night and earned a 22-12 win. “We stayed patient, we did what we needed to do, and made plays in the second half,” said Hendricken head coach Keith Croft. “Continue with progression and a team mentality.

King Philip 13, Foxboro 7 — KP holds on, stays perfect
There are not a lot of teams that play like King Philip. The Warriors line up in the I formation and play power football. Then, on defense, they bring pressure and hit you for four quarters. When KP is able to string together long possessions and make you play from behind, the Warriors are damn near impossible to beat. In a 13-7 victory over previously-unbeaten Foxboro, King Philip followed its……

New England High School Round Up Weeks 6 & 7
Connecticut Darien and Greenwich meet on Saturday at 1:30 in Greenwich in what should be one of the best games of the season thus far. Both are undefeated and there’s a contrast in style here with the Cardinals offense and the Blue Wave defense. Should be a great match up. New Canaan looked impressive in a 45-7 win against St. Joe’s. The Cadets have had the Rams number in recent…
Would the Patriots really turn to Will Grier this season? Yes.
Starting quarterback Mac Jones days as a starter could be numbered if he continues to play the way he has the past two weeks. If he has another bad game this week, he could end up on the bench. Jones has been benched twice the past two weeks in favor of Bailey Zappe but the next time he does get benched, it could be permanent and it could be for…
