Took in the Tewksbury-Haverhill MVC small clash today at the stadium, and of course, it was all Tewksbury, 7-0. For the record, it’s a tale of two seasons so far with haverhill. Chip Dunn’s crew is a perfect 3-0 when one HL is not in the building. The Hillies are 1-3 when the czar of [...]

Big bounce-back test Wednesday for No. 1 Tewksbury, which travels to unranked Andover Wednesday morning (11 a.m.) Andover is the only MVC team without a league loss. Please note, this game has been shifted to Andover because Tewksbury’s new field surface is not completed yet. Got to talking with Pentucket’s Tom L’Italien after the loss [...]
Just returned from a delightful two-day sojourn to Cooperstown where Methuen High knocked off the No. 1 team in Eastern Mass, Tewksbury, 6-4, in a great ball game on Doubleday Field. Let’s tackle the on-field stuff first. It was a gigantic effort by the Rangers. Clutch hits, superb pitching, even a web gem or two [...]
Lost in yet another strong Central Catholic performance on the diamond yesterday was one giant missed fact. Raider coach Marc Pelletier celebrated win 250 of his career when his club beat Haverhill Wednesday. That’s a milestone I should never have missed. Congrats to one of the class coaches in the region. Currently in Cooperstown with [...]
Ran into coach Rick Nault at the Raider baseball game yesterday. A couple nuggets there: Senior point guard Wilfredo Pagan will head to Merrimack, where he’ll most likely play for Bert Hammel on the Lawrence Boys Club scholarship. Sixth man KB Oshodi is still leaning toward Drexel in Philly. Junior guard Billy Marsden still has [...]

Ambled by Pelham Street, of all places, to catch a handful of innings yesterday between Central Catholic and Methuen. Impressive effort by the Raiders, who moved to 2-0 with an 11-4 win. A couple of observations: Central clubbed the baseball, and the Raiders did their damage with a couple of top guns, infielders Michael Romano [...]

Fellas, Fellas, Fellas. There was an ugly-looking comment, previously on this site, that had to be removed. The initials from the sender were “RD.” Let me say for the record, that as soon as Coach Drouin saw this, he called and notified me of the comment. It was not him. And I immediately took it [...]

Methuen had to pick up a little confidence, even in an opening day, 2-0, defeat at St. John’s Prep. Dave Koerner dazzled on the mound in defeat, allowing what looked to be only one hit, a fact that bodes well for the Rangers. Great to see Koerner back from the broken leg in football. Methuen [...]

Your local diamond may not drain until May, but it is the high school baseball season, time to talk a little MVC baseball. And if you’re talking MVC in 2008, you’re talking Tewksbury. Plain and simple, pick a media outlet. The Redmen are hotter than the iphone. Three all-leaguers, including one all-scholastic back, six league [...]
