King Philip Head Coach Brian Lee is stepping down after 21 seasons. Asked why he was stepping away, Lee simply said it was time. “I’ve accomplished everything I set out to do at KP. All that work and constant battles with outside forces takes a toll, and I’m tired. It was time.” Lee took over the program in 2005 and after three lean years, turned the program in 2008 with…

FOXBOROUGH — Since coach John DiBiaso came to Catholic Memorial, the Knights have featured a level of depth at the skill positions that is simply unmatched. You want to stop running back Mekhi Dodd? Sure, but what about fellow back Lasean Sharp? If you can slow the running game, what can you do about quarterback Kise Flannery and his receivers?

WRENTHAM – Thanksgiving just means more. People have echoed that sentiment for years when it comes to the traditional final regular season game.

The Panthers set the tone on the opening possession of the game with a ball control drive that was……

The Warriors controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball — winning the rushing battle 299-76 — and winning the game 34-15 over No. 3 Marshfield in a rematch of the 2023 state title game. The Warriors are heading to their seventh state title game in the last……
WALPOLE — For last night’s season opener at Walpole, King Philip coach Brian Lee worried a little about the inexperience his team had. After all, the Warriors graduated a talented and accomplished senior class. But, after his team’s 42-14 romp, Lee’s King Philip Warriors played, well, like King Philip Warriors. They combined a smothering defense with a punishing ground attack in the victory. For as many great players leave the……

In the last 10 years, KP has won three state titles, including in 2023 in D2 with a win over Marshfield at Gillette Stadium. While the Warriors will lose a ton of talent to graduation, don’t expect them to just fall off. There is still plenty of talent here……
