Each week for the next month or so, we will select one or more Players of the Week for this Fall II season based on nominations we receive. Since we cannot get to every game as a two-man operation, we will be relying heavily on coaches to provide nominees and stats for their respective player(s) each week. If we do not get any submitted to us, we will be picking…
Week of the Fall II season kicked off this weekend and some of the power programs in the state flexed their muscle. Here are my thoughts on the week that was in high school football. 1. Catholic Memorial looked dominant in their 42-10 win over St. John’s Shrewsbury but the injury to quarterback J.C. Petrongolo is worth keeping an eye on. 2.

It started out as a joke. Now, Atlanta Falcons offensive linemen, Boston College Eagle and Shepherd Hill alum Chris Lindstrom is being called “coach” these days. Lindstrom – who was part of the Shepherd Hill program from 2011-2015 – is the brother of head coach Ryan Dugan, so the two had joked numerous times the past several months about Chris coaching, but neither of them had taken it very seriously….

After a year and half of no football, student athletes in Massachusetts will be hitting the gridiron once again. Our next preview focuses on Division 6.

For the last 30 years, Doherty head coach Sean Mulcahy has seen and done just about everything there is to do as a coach in Massachusetts. Except prepare for a season in March during a pandemic. Mulcahy, like every other coach in the state, has had to dodge some unexpected twists and turns when it comes to getting his team on the field, but now that the Highlanders are together…
