On September 2 under the lights at Merrimack College, Holy Cross will officially kick off its push for a national title. No, not just a four-peat in the Patriot League, but a national title. When you’ve done what the Crusaders have done over the last few seasons, expectations change and nationally, Holy Cross enters the 2022 season as a Top 15 team in FCS. Not only are the boys in…
Bob Chesney and his staff have had a great month in recruiting. First they landed offensive lineman Bennett Nunnally out of All Saints Episcopal High in Fort Worth Texas and William Janis out of the Brunswick School in Connecticut.

There was also cranked up crowed noise at times to make life difficult on the offense, all…
The NFL Draft is a little less than a month away and teams across the league are hitting the road, attending pro days throughout the country. Over the course of the past week, there were seven pro days in New England and all seven featured legitimate NFL talent.
