A year ago, while I was off put by the fact that there were three Newburyport players and four North Reading players in a conference that had five different champions, BUT I lauded the Cape Ann League coaches for the courage to name a 13-player all-league team, one that actually had meaning. I compared it [...]
Clearly, the ripple effect of this morning’s Middlesex League expansion vote, which is bringing Arlington and Wilmington on board, will be felt in North Andover. The Scarlet Knights had recently petitioned to join the Middlesex. Wilmington leaving the Cape Ann League severely weakens the competition in the CAL. More to come later.
