November 3, 2023

ATTLEBORO — Early in Friday night’s D2 first round game against No. 11 Concord-Carlisle, the No. 6 Bishop Feehan offense sputtered.

But by the end of the game, both came around nicely, and the defense was stellar, as well, as Feehan earned a 24-0 victory. Feehan improves to 7-1 with the win,…
