People who say Thanksgiving football in Massachusetts is done have not taken a look at this week’s games. There are plenty of good ones, and it will be an exciting end to the season for many across the state. Here is a look at the top games both in Massachusetts, and around New England. Let’s get to it. St. John’s Prep at Xaverian — In the first of two heavyweight……
Now we are at that point in the season where basically every game is a big one. We’ve got every MIAA postseason matchup in the eight divisions, plus out of state. Also, check out our NEPSAC bowl capsules. Let’s get to it. Division 1 St. John’s Prep vs. Andover — We knew Andover would be good this season, but did not necessarily think the Warriors woud be back here. At……
With the MIAA playoffs in full swing, we figured we would break down the Massachusetts games by playoff division, just to group the games together. It’s going to be an amazing weekend, so let’s get right to it. Here we go. Division 1 St. John’s Prep meets BC High in a battle of Catholic Conference rivals. The Prep won this regular season meeting handily, and is favored to do so……
Playoffs have struck most of New England, and therefore there are a lot of impactful matchups across the region. Here’s a look at some of the best ones. Central Catholic at Springfield Central — In the MIAA D1 playoffs, this would usually be a semifinal or final game. As it is, it’s a first rounder, and a rematch of a Week 1 SPringfield Central decisive win. Central Catholic has improved,……
We are past the midway point now, and some states are already into the postseason. In Massachusetts, we are getting close to that. A lot of games to watch this week, some very impactful. Let’s get to it. St. John’s Prep at BC High — St. John’s Prep is coming off a huge win over Catholic Memorial, and if it were anyone else, we would worry about a letdown. But……
Not as many prime matchups this week, but a few real headliners, which makes up for it. Catholic Memorial at St. John’s Prep will grab most of the attention, but there are plenty of other ones to watch, too. Let’s get to it. Catholic Memorial at St John’s Prep — This one has major implications for both the Catholic Conference race and state supremacy. Both teams can pass the ball,……
A ton of quality matchups this week as we get, for the most part, deep into league play. Here are the ones we have our eyes on for now. Methuen at Billerica — These might be the two best teams in the Merrimack Valley Conference, or at least close to it. Methuen’s offense seems to have hit its stride. Billerica is coming off a nice win over Tewksbury. This is a fun one…….
Certainly, some games that are not just big this week, but Game of the Year material in a lot of different respects. As has been the case a lot this season, rain is in the forecast for Saturday. That won’t dampen the spirits too much, though, as there should be some really great games that day. On to the preview . . . Catholic Memorial at Xaverian — This will……
A lot of sneaky-good matchups this week in games that maybe weren’t such a huge deal at the beginning of the season. We are, in a lot of cases, getting into the thick of league races. Some desperate teams, too, which sometimes make for better showdowns. Let’s get to it. St. John’s Prep at La Salle (RI) — The Prep would be a tough matchup for La Salle in any……
What a first weekend. Some interesting results, and a fun way to get going, really all over New England. Not as many top games this weekend, but we will still take a look at some of them. Feels like the luster is off a few matchups based on what we saw last week. That said, still some barnburners here, and we expect some great games. Let’s get to it …….
