Sorry this is a bit late, but I zonked early last night. I’d like to chime in on the Andover-Malden game I was at last night. First off an impressive performance on the Warrior account, with a No. 4 knocking off a No. 13. 1. The kinder, gentler David Fazio truly works. For those of [...]

The reward for a tourney-opening win is No. 1 Central Catholic. Paul called it weeks ago. I’ll paraphrase: No matter what the scenario, we get [...]
