0 comment

For a while, athletically, Deerfield Academy was known mostly as an elite boys lacrosse school. Football-wise, it was known as a competitive, but not dominant, program. That is starting to change. Under the guidance of coach Brian Barbato, Deerfield has grown into a gridiron power in the ever-competitive NEPSAC Class A division. In 2019, Deerfield beat a previously-unbeaten Milton Academy team in a NEPSAC bowl. Then, in the next NEPSAC…

Wholley spent years as…

Senior Jack Funke checks in at 6-foot-6, 290 pounds, and will continue his career at Boston College. We spoke Friday night with Xaverian coach Al Fornaro about Funke and some other Hawks prospects for this week’s recruiting roundup. Starting with Funke, Fornaro said…

That has been the routine for BB&N for years now, and it does not look to change anytime soon. We caught up with BB&N coach Mike Willey…
