Image courtesy of the New England Patriots As if winning a milestone game as a high school head coach isn’t special enough, being recognized by the Patriots days later is a cool way to cap things off. Last Friday, Wachusett beat rival Algonquin in a bit of a shootout, 32-27. Not only did the victory move the Mountaineers 4-3 with the playoff push now in full gear, but it was…

UMass starting tough stretch to close out another disappointing season
So, now what? UMass is 2-6 with road games against Mississippi State and Georgia two of the next three weeks.

With mere months until the program heads into the MAC, we’re still left with more questions than answers when it comes to the lack of progress with…
