The MVC football fraternity is more pompous than any IVY league branch of Sigma Chi. It starts with the coaches, or at least a handful of them who started and fostered this “You try knocking heads in this league week in and week out.

Champing at the bit as I count down the minutes to Central Catholic and Hendricken. We’ve got it as a 3 p.m. tip. Look, I’m a straight shooter, so I’m going to tell it like it is, once again. I was extremely down Friday night. Pinkerton Academy is the reason. Not that Manchester Central isn’t [...]

With Timberlane’s romp over both Framingham and Lowell wrestling last weekend, the question has been raised: What’s wrong with Mass. wrestling? Actually, there’s nothing wrong. It’s just that Timberlane is that good. Moreover, as Concord and Pinkerton showed at the Concord Capitol Classic last week (finishing 1-2 with Vermont power Mt. Anthony fourth), the best [...]

First to the pride of Middie-ville MKA: What the heck did I do to deserve that grotesque, pitifully-desperate cheap shot? I asked where you’ve been because I was interested in whether the top football player in the state had made his college choice. And I get called a disgusting, ugly name. My apologies to any [...]
