To some in Central Catholic’s inner-circle, Scott Darby’s postgame plaudits for the Raiders and their rivalry with his St. John’s Prep club would be considered fighting words. “They’re not in our conference, but they might as well be,” said Darby after the Prep blanked Central, 12-0, in a gritty, defensive tussle before about 1,000 fans [...]

Catch the shot of Alex in Saturday’s Eagle-Tribune hauling in a one-handed grab in the second half of the win over Amesbury. That’s athleticism.

I’ve always thought opening week is the toughest to predict in any activity | whether it be high school football, NFL football or even the first week at a new job or school. Too many nerves. Not enough repetitions. And too many people unsure of how they fit in. In a new school or job, [...]

It’s early, probably too early, to make any preditions but we will know a lot more about who the powerhouse team North of Boston is by Saturday night. That’s when Central, one of the MVC behemoths this year, faces off against its Catholic school rival, St. John’s Prep. Central won a tough game over Lawrence, [...]
Amid the excitement at last night’s Pinkerton-Manchester Central, won by Pinkerton, 30-21, in the final seconds, was the play of the quarterbacks. Manchester Central’s QB, Scott McCurdy, sort of came out of nowhere. The 6-2, 175-pounder, looked like the second-coming of BC’s Matt Ryan. Not only was he right on, completing 15-of-23 passes for 217 [...]
