A late Friday night extra post on the grid action.

Posted in Football, Hector Longo on Oct 18th, 2008 Comments

Wow, some great games out there tonight with the one I took in, Lawrence’s upset of Wilmington, right at the top of the list.
A monumental Lancer effort in the win, just huge.
In a 10 minute span, from two minutes left in the first half to the three-minute mark of the third quarter, lawrence show just [...]

Has the Methuen football team finally turned the corner? Will the Rangers now become consistent winners?
We should know the answer tomorrow night when the Rangers (3-3) play at improved Lowell (3-2) with the chance to win three straight games in the same season for the first time since 1998.
Methuen looked very impressive in its [...]

Posted in Football, Hector Longo on Oct 16th, 2008 Comments

OK, a manageable seven-game gap between myself and that cocky Dave Dyer.
Here goes with this week’s info:
Friday night
Make or break time for the Methuen Rangers. A win against Lowell and the dream lives.
Lowell has two big wins, looking to announce its presence with authority.
I’ll stick with my rolling Rangers, 22-13.
Pinkerton at Brockton
New Hampshire’s reputation is [...]

Longo’s back and so is the new top 10.

Posted in Uncategorized on Oct 15th, 2008 Comments

Sorry folks, I was away for the weekend, and what a weekend it was, shaking up the new Longo top 10.
My 11-6 was two games better than Dave Dyer’s 9-8, meaning his lead is slashed to 7 games.
My weekend picks will be up Thursday. For now, here we go.
OK, the updated Longo Top 10:
1. Pinkerton [...]

Need some help from the Londonderry folks out there!!!

Posted in Uncategorized on Oct 15th, 2008 Comments

Lancer Dad or Mr. Glines or somebody, I need a hand. Coach Rich wasn’t sure on the two-point conversions scored vs. Central last week.
He had Hale, Joey Mac and Santuorsa on the TDs, can anyone fill me in on the conversions, just so we have it correct in Friday’s newspaper?

Anyways, yet another big weekend on top in the high school ranks. Let’s go with this week’s picks.
Friday’s games
Greater Lawrence Tech at Northeast … The Reggies [...]

Dave Dyer
Just how far can one player carry a team?
We may find out Saturday afternoon (weather permitting) when Georgetown hosts Amesbury in a battle of Cape Ann League unbeatens. Quarterback Joe Esposito has done it all for the Royals — on the ground, through the air, on special teams [...]

Hey trash-talkers, just shut up! Here’s a recap of the weekend and the new Longo Top 10

Posted in Football, Hector Longo on Oct 5th, 2008 Comments

If you told me that I’d be going to three football games this weekend, Lawrence-Amesbury, Tewksbury-Methuen and Londonderry-Pinkerton, and one would be a nail-biter, the Rangers and Redmen would have been choice No. 3.
That said, it was an afternoon war in Tewks, won by the upset-minded Rangers, while the other two turned into blowouts.
Ten observations [...]

Week 5 picks is it? … Down five games, still not time to press.

Posted in Uncategorized on Oct 3rd, 2008 Comments

Dave Dyer is a smarmy 40-13, and I’m a tremendously disappointing 35-18. Time to make some hay.
Of course, I’m going to do it the smart way, remember my mechanics, stay within myself, one game at a time. I will not press.
Here goes
Friday night
Central Catholic at Dracut … Everett pummeled Dracut. St. John’s pummeled Everett. Central [...]

Sizing up the Saturday night showdown in Londonderry

Posted in Football, Hector Longo on Oct 2nd, 2008 Comments

Spent a good amount of Thursday night, getting a feel on the game from both coaches, Pinkerton’s Brian O’Reilly and Londonderry’s Jon Rich.
The Astros, 3-1 overall and 3-0 in Division 1, travel to the Lancers, 4-0 and 3-0, for a Saturday night clash.
The rivalry is gigantic, has been for decades. And now, the entire state [...]
