It has been a dream stretch for West Boylston. In 2002, the Lions won the D7 state title. Then, after dropping down to D8, West Boylston took that state title with a win over Carver at Gillette Stadium. West Boylston was utterly dominant this season. The Lions went 13-0 and did not really have a close game. We caught up with Ross this week, and talked on the phone about……
It was a dream season for the Uxbridge Spartans. Without so much as a single close game, Uxbridge rolled through its schedule with a 13-0 record. It culminated in a D7 state title with a 42-16 win over Amesbury at Gillette. We spoke with Uxbridge coach Matt Blood on how this all came about. Here is an edited version of that conversation. Adam Kurkjian: I guess the first question I……

Here is an edited version of that conversation. Adam Kurkjian: You’ve won state titles now at Falmouth and Fairhaven. What……

The Dragons went 11-1 this fall, and earned a championship with a 62-33 victory over a very good Scituate team. That makes at least a Gillette Stadium appearance in each of the last four MIAA postseasons. We wanted to talk to Duxbury coach Matt Landolfi, on what makes this program so special. Here is……
A little over a year ago, Milton lost in the D3 state title game to Wakefield. The Wildcats lost a good chunk of those players to graduation. But Milton reloaded as well as anyone could have hoped, and this season earned a D3 state title over Walpole. It was a terrific coaching job by Milton’s Steve Dembowski, so we wanted to connect with him on how he was able to……
It was quite a year for the Xaverian Hawks. Injuries hit this team hard, but it kept winning at a high level. The finishing run included wins over Springfield Central, Needham, and St. John’s Prep (twice in six days). So, yes, this D1 state title? The Hawks earned every bit of it. We spoke to Xaverian coach Al Fornaro to get his thoughts on the season, and how it came……
