Let’s talk about some of the big stories in high school football this week in this week’s installment of the New England Football Journal High School Journal.
FOXBOROUGH – For the most part, nothing went wrong last year. Incredible injury luck, Drake Maye’s Year 2 leap, even the way the Patriots practiced…everything worked out. And that’s not even including the nauseating schedule talk. Even sitting at 1-2 last season, things felt somewhat optimistic heading into a Sunday night road game against the Bills that ultimately turned the season around. This Sunday when the Patriots play their first…

Coming off a dominant 20-3 defensive performance against Pittsburgh, New England enters as a 3-point road underdog. To pull off the victory against a talented Jacksonville squad, the Patriots must combine disciplined situational football on offense with hyper-aggressive, chaotic defensive schematic adjustments. This detailed gameplan outlines the core strategic keys…

When he faces Cleveland on Sunday and probably puts up significant numbers, there will be a lot of pride floating around Worcester and across the country for those that have ties to Holy Cross. The coaches, staff members and fans that watched him play wearing a Crusaders’ uniform have known how good he is for…
