The new Fantastic Four and this week’s picks … Is it me or is Salem the clear-cut No. 1 in the region, by a mile???

Oct 2nd, 2009 by Hector Longo

’ve run ragged the last couple weeks, but I finally have a chance to settle in, update the Fantastic Four and blog away.
Here goes.
So much has happened in two weeks, but one thing is certain. The Salem Blue Devils are clearly the top football team in our region.
Salem obliterated Pinkerton Saturday, an absolute, unequivocal schmuckling.
The B-Devs stand alone atop the Fantastic Four, a clear No. 1.
Quick little sidelight here. I’m watching a little Curb The Enthusiasm at the advice of some friends. I’ve tried episodes 1 and 2 of this, the seventh season. Clearly, this is the longest-running horrifyingly awful TV show in history.
After Salem, the picture clouds up quickly.
Yeah, I’d love to give a little love to Kevin Bradley’s 3-0 Whittier Tech Wildcats, but I can’t. Whittier hasn’t beaten anyone of consequence yet.
We’ll go with Methuen at 2, Central at three and Andover at 4.
On to this week’s games:
Chelmsford (3-0) at Lawrence (1-2)
Lions give Lancers nightmares with their in-your-face running game, 23-6.

Haverhill (0-3) at ANDOVER (2-1)
Andover discovered its offense at Tewksbury last week, more bad news for the Hillies, 28-0.
Salem (1-2) at North Andover (2-1)
I think the Knights dominate the Witches, 28-6, as Zac Iovanella piles up the non-CAL yardage.
Lowell (1-2) at Methuen (2-1)
I never, ever use home field to make a decision in high school football. It means so little, but n this case, it makes the difference, Rangers 14-13.
Georgetown (0-2) at Marblehead (2-1)
The Royals are in tough this week an slide to 0-3, 21-14.
Sanborn (0-4) at Laconia (3-1)
This is a mismatch of epic proportions. Laconia is a power program in NH. Sanborn is a baby as a program. Please be nice lake folks. Laconia 30-0.
LONDONDERRY (2-2) at PINKERTON (2-2)
Moved up to Friday, the Astros face a gut check after being humbled last week. They pass, figuratively not literally and grind out a 17-14 win.
Bishop Brady (3-1) at PELHAM (2-2)
Brady bunch extracts a little revenge for the last couple year. BB 34-17.

SATURDAY’S GAMES
Newburyport (3-0) at PEntucket (1-2)
Even though it matters to Pentucket but not the Clippers, Pentucket falls, 14-6.
LYNN TECH (3-0) at WHITTIER (3-0)
Dillon Ryan piles up the TD passes, Whittier 26-0.
AUSTIN PREP (2-1) at North Reading (1-2)
Love this grudge match. I’ll stick with the Hornets in a thriller. 13-12.
SALEM (4-0) at NASHUA SOUTH (3-1)
Salem can run the table if it clears south. This one could have been a lot bigger if the Panthers hadn’t lost last week to Manchester central.
B-Devs 27-18
Central Catholic (2-1) at Tewksbury (1-2)
Raiders roll over Redmen, 36-0
Greater Lawrence (1-2) at Greater Lowell (1-2)
Reggies drill an overwhelmed group of Gryphons, 27-14
Brooks (1-0) at GROTON (1-0)
A showdown of two of the most dynamic QBs in the NE prep ranks with Groton’s Bretton Frongillo and Brooks’ Jordan Johnson. Frongillo is the one athlete I have to see this fall.
Groton, 36-30.
Timberlane (2-2) at KEENE (2-2)
The loser can kiss the D2 playoffs goodbye. I say the road trip spells TImberlane’s demise, 26-20.

After a lambasting last week, Mr. Dyer and I stand dead even.

    Still picking N.H. teams as your # 1. Salem plays 1 tough team
    ( Pinkerton, CC of N.H. ) from N.H. for the season and there your # 1. Well I guess if Pinkerton was in the MVC they wouldn't win the MVC like you said. I wish Methuen was in the N.H. league. Only playing 1 maybe 2 teams that would give them a game. Methuen will win this game tonight and it won't be by 1 pt. and they don't need home field to win agains Lowell. I talk to some of the players and this is a big game for them. There are up for this game. Methuen has tough games week in and week out. It like this for all MVC teams.
  • JohnD524
    NAME- You are the most ignorant poster on this forum. Get over your "MA would dominate anybody" attitude, or at least stop posting on here. You are a FAN of the game. This blog is run by a journalist who probably sees more high school football than you over a given weekend. Here is something else, I have COACHED in each of these leagues and guess what... Div 1 NH is very similar to the MVC. Obviously this won't strike a chord with you for the rest of the readers, please don't jump on NAME'S bandwagon. Enjoy your town's football and support them, but leave the ignorance at home.
  • Name
    O.K. Al Bundy. You have coached before. Ok. So whats your point. I am not all about Ma. football. And I'm not ignorant. H.L. is all about N.H. teams. And from looking at all these comments I can tell he has a lot of N.H. followers. I only want to keep him honest. And if he is watching a lot of high school football, than he doesn't know the game. Stop going to N.H. football games and start watching some Ma. football teams. I'm not talking about a lowell, Lawrence game. I'm talking about top games in the MVC.
  • DK
    You don't want Hector to go to Lawrence and Lowell game? They are in the MVC are they not? I thought you said every week there is a tough game in the "Mighty MVC" ? Every league is the same, you have your power teams and your cream puffs, NH and mass. Don't use the week in and week out line any more, you just admitted Lowell and Lawrence are no good.
  • Name
    Slow down. I'm talking about the top teams in the MVC. Lowell and Lawrence are not MVC top teams in the MVC but they would be in N.H. league. that is the different. And how come H.L. always invole pinkerton ( CC of N.H. ) that is a good 25 miles away from the eagletribune but he does not invole all of the MVC teams that are no more than 15 miles from the eagletribune in his fab 4.
  • DK
    You said "week in and week out". You said Lowell would be a top team in NH? Lowell lost to nashua south, nashua south lost to manchester central, macnchester central lost to nashua north and exeter. You lose credibility every time you post something. Are you just joking with us? You must be, you can't be this stupid.
  • Name
    Easy with the name calling. Like I said, Lowell and Lawrence are not the top teams in the MVC. Losing credibility is H.L.. Are you kidding me. Ok, Salem plays nobody the rest of the way, lets see what happens. Why is Pinkerton ( CC of N.H. ) in the areas fab 4 and area MVC teams are not. I don't get it.
  • Hector's re-reply
    Big fella, please read above:
    A. It's the Fantastic Four, not the Fab 4.
    2. Pinkerton is no longer in the rankings, which are now 1. Salem, 2. Methuen, 3. CC, the real CC not the CC of NH, 4. Andover
    My cred is doing just fine, thank you.
  • CoachD
    i love the (CC of NH) posting after every reference to Pinkerton...classic. I'm surprised theres not more of get off the CC bandwagon on here. CC is ok but people make them sound to be everett,brockton, Xaverian of the area. Lets bash on CC for a while.
  • CoachD
    just to reiterate what i said before..andover may not have beaten a SJP team...but look what they've gone through with the handling of the exiled coach and so on. a team many believed to be on the outs this year has surprised some.
  • Name
    Can someone tell me why Pinkerton ( C.C. ofN.H. ) Had this big write up on the sports page and Methuen high win was so small on the 2nd page of the sports page. Lawrence and Methuen come off big wins and Methuen is on the 2nd page. What is going on with the Eagletribune and there writers. Lawrence and Methuen are right next door and your giving them 2nd billing.
  • Hector's reply
    I can answer this one.
    We can only shoot two games per Friday night, it's basically a manpower thing. The Pinkerton and Andover games got photos this week in the Eagle-Tribune, simly because each game feature a pair of teams in our readership ... Andover and Haverhill and Pinkerton-Londonderry.
    The Lawrence win was enormous, one of the biggest upsets in our region over the last 25 years, so it went on the front.
    We do try our best to shoot as many of the area teams as possible, for instance, I'm only guessing here, but I'll bet we shoot Andover-Lawrence and Salem-Timberlane. That seems logical to me.

    There are no perceived agendas, and there is no science to it ... we can't surmise that Lawrence is going to upset Chelmsford for the first time since 1985 ... we just try to cover as many teams as we can and the biggest games possible.
  • Brooks Dad
    HL,
    Great job as always. Obviously, from the above you can't please everyone, but you're giving it a shot and providing a lot more coverage than anyplace else I see. Wanted to comment quick on a very improved Brooks team being 2-0. I'm totally biased, having a son who's a reserve on the team, but they have to be one of the most improved team in the region, right? Coach K has done a great job here in a little over a year. You were right about Frongillo from Haverhill being a nice quarterback for Groton- He throws a great ball and is really smart. It's not fair to him to be compared to Jordan Johnson as an athlete, though. Jordan's not a local kid, but I've followed area football for a couple decades, and this is one the most explosive athletes we've ever seen in these parts. If people around here haven't seen him, they should try- especially if they can see him on turf. While this Brooks team on the lines is too small to compete with Salem, Central etc., Jordan Johnson would be the best skill player on any team in the area. His speed and even more importantly ability to change directions is scary. Plus he likes to hit. His best play yesterday wasn't either touchdown run or throw or even on D, but a block he threw on a kickoff. Groton was smart enough to kick away from him all day, so he blew somebody up on the first return of the day. Brooks got some great contributions from local guys like Jason Buco, Tucker White, and Andrew Coke, too. It's a talented group of skill guys.

    I'm curious- I know the area has produced some big time football players on the lines on both sides of the ball over the years, and even some linebackers, tight ends, and fullbacks. But how many "speed" position guys (RB, WR, DB, or kick returners) have earned full scholarships to top 20 schools like Jordan has done at BYU, where he'll be a D back and return man? The recruiting sites all have BYU's recruiting class as a top 10 in the country for next year. I can't think of too many off the top of my head, but figured you'd know better than me, Hector.
  • Name
    Your Right It's the Fantastic Four, not the Fab 4. My mistake. Why does Pinkerton ( CC of N.H. ) get so much coverage when you have teams like Lawrence and Methuen playing so good. Methuen has 1 of the best football players around this area inclueing Pinkerton ( CC of N.H. ). His name is Cal Carroll. This is the kid that the Eagletribune writers and Your Fantastic 4 video should showcase. Forget about how good he is in Baseball and basketball. This kid have avg. 3 rushing TD a game and is 90% of Methuens offence. He comes from a great family and do you know after football practice he goes and coaches Pop Warner football. This is what you have to let people know about what local football players are about. If Cal Carroll was on Pinkerton you would have all ready showcased him. As Fantastic Four goes. Salem N.H. will not play anyone the rest of the way. They will not play a Lawrence High like Chelmsford did. Salem who playes a weak teams week in and week out will be your # 1 team the rest of the way in your Fantastic Four. Pinkerton ( CC of N.H. )who is not from this area should never be part of your Fantastic Four. If you do inclue them than you should inclue all of MVC teams that are more in this area than them. Methuen who plays a tough team like everyone else in the MVC will not have a chance to be # 1 in your Fantastic Four .
  • Stead
    Name, I am not sure if you ever took geography in school but from the Methuen line to the Derry line is 13 miles. It may also interest you to know that a very high percentage of residents in the towns of Salem, Derry, and Londonderry grew up in Lawrence such as myself and in Methuen, Haverhill, Andover etc. You are doing a good thing in putting the spotlight on what seems to be great Methuen player and then you sour the whole thing by putting down other LOCAL schools. You are getting your wish and getting some extra press for Methuen, I'm just not sure it's the kind that they would want
  • Steve
    Name, I have no idea why you continue to say that week in and week out Salem plays a weak schedule. Have you ever watched a NH football game? I CAN GUARANTEE YOU the top four (playoff teams) in Div. 1 can compete in the MVC year in and year out. Although I don't have them in front of me (and if you'd like I could look them up), I could list numerous NH teams that have beaten good MA teams. Examples would be Exeter (Div. 2) beating an 8-0 Billerica teams, Pinkerton beating Brockton, Salem beating a ranked Foxborough team two years in a row, Salem losing to Xaverian on the last drive of the game. Come on...you are so blatantly bias to the MVC. The MVC is good, but it's not great football. None of the MVC teams could compete with the likes of Everett, Brockton, Dartmouth, Xaverian, etc. They would be middle of the pack at best. Dracut has done a nice job over the last several years...but short of that...
  • Name
    Stead, come on. From were the eagletribune is to Pinkerton is a good 25 miles away. All MVC teams are no more than 15 miles away. That is a fact. Eagletribune high school football seem to be about N.H. football and than about local teams like Methuen and Lawrence. But just to show you. You and everyone else that read the Eagletribune high school football page don't even know about Cal Carroll. What a shame. The eagletribune don't even cover the MVC the right way. On Sept. 19 high school page in the eagletribune Jeff Hamrick wrote about Methuens win over Malden. Over 50% of what he said didn't happen. It's like he hear about the game from someone than printed it. when he talked about the wins before the Malden one he talks about the Andover Game of 2008. He talks about something that never happened. It was Jason Doyle that had the big interception with less than 30 sec. to go in the game. That is why Methuen held on to beat Andover. If the eagletribune is not going to report it the right way than don't report it all. Stead you prove my point. If all of N.H. people came from Ma. than don't you think the eagletribune should report about Ma. teams as much as they report on N.H. teams.
  • John Stark
    I'm not clear what all the controversy is about here. It's tough to not rank Salem as the best as this point in the season. They will be tested down the road by North and Central, but give the Devils their due. At the same time, let's acknowledge that there is only one relatively weak sister in the MVC right now (Haverhill), while there are three in NH (Concord, Mem, and West). In fact, West might end up in D3 next year. But before beating up NH high school football, let's also acknowledge that Bishop Guertin (D2) might very well be one of the best teams in New England and will prove it in two weeks vs. a top 10 EMass team in CM.

    Coach D: You need to update your data. Central beat Dracut the week after Dracut rolled over Everett. Central also beat SJP by a point, while Brockton beat SJP on a late field goal. Could be time to give the Raiders their due. Hector, I'm not sure how anyone who has seen all the teams in question can logically disagree with your top 4.
  • Name
    Well said. See my point is the eagletribune and it's writers seem to want N.H. teams as being the best around. For Bishop Guertin to be the best in new england they will have to beat a Ma. team. Thats Ok. But lets give the MVC teams its due. As far as Cal Carroll goes he might be in the running as MVP in the MVC. Now thats saying something. The eagletribune and it's writers would only say he the best thing around if he was playing for a N.H. team.
  • Ma transplant
    The reason NH football is covered more now is the past ten years. Look at Methuen and Lawrence. Both were down tremendously. Pinkerton has been in the State Championship Game the last 5 years. (and play a pretty tough schedule Brockton, BG, etc) Not including this year if you were to take Methuen or Lawrence playing Pinkerton neither team comes within a couple touchdowns. That is not the case now but for the past ten years the better ball has been in NH...
  • Name
    Wrong. Pinkerton ( CC of N.H. ) would have a case agains methuen and Lawrence , but not all of the MVC. Pinkerton ( CC of N.H. ) is the top team in N.H. year in and year out. But all of N.H. best players can go there if they want. Just like CC of Ma. they can pick from any city or town that they want. But because Salem beat Pinkerton ( CC of N.H. ) it is H.L. # 1 team in his Fantastic Four. Come on. N.H. has 1 good team out of all of N.H. and there the # 1 team. I'm not buying it. H.L. said Pinkerton ( CC of N.H. ) would win the MVC this year. Wrong. There is no reason as of today that all of the MVC teams can't be part of his Fantastic Four. There is no reason that they can't get a story straight in the eagletribune. You know in that story that Jeff Hamrick wrote the defence caused 6 turnovers and when he try to name 5 of the defeneners he name 2 of the players that are on offence.
  • Ma transplant
    Dear Name, Read...comprehend...respond.
    What is "wrong"? The only point i was making is over the past ten years (not including this year) Pinkerton would have easily beaten Methuen or Lawrence because both programs have been down. Hence the Trib has covered the arguably the best team in the area more than the down programs. Again I repeat this year could be different but not the past ten years...

    Also,name two players on Pinkerton that pay to go from towns other than derry, chester or hamstead? You probably don t know but those three towns Pinkerton is the public high school.
  • Name
    Wrong. I said they would beat Lawrence and Methuen but not the top MVC teams. That is what I said. Also who the hell is Hence the Trib. Are you telling me that if I lived in Salem and I wanted my son to go to Pinkerton High School he couldn't. If you could afford it, you can pay to your kid to go to Pinkerton High School. That is a fact. This has already been proven by another blogger. Pinkerton is not a area team. All of MVC teams are.
  • Ma transplant
    "all MVC teams are" Think about that one again...I will give you a hint you are "wrong". Have you ever stepped foot outside of Methuen? The loop is great but belive it or not there is alot more to see.
  • Name
    WHAT??????????
  • Name
    Ok, It's call the eagletribune high school sports page covering the Merrimack Valley and Southern NH. That means MVC and Southern N.H.. A 15 mile radius. Not 25 miles away from the eagletribune. Please come with facts.
  • John Stark
    Name, the Trib has covered So. NH schools as long as I can remember. So if they're going to be covered, why not give them access to Hec's Fan. 4? Clearly, Salem has earned it. And you have to admit that this year is a fluke with both Methuen and Lawrence being competitive in the MVC. When is the last time that was the case? Also, I'm not sure where the NH bias is when #2, #3, and #4 are all MVC teams.

    And, Yes, Pinkerton can take tuitioned kids from anywhere, just as Central. However, unlike Central, parents are simply unwilling to pay tuition to Pinkerton from outside the sending towns. Yes, it's a private school with a private board of directors, but it's not an attractive alternative to the local public high school. So technically, you are correct. But functionally, you're wrong. And having seen all the teams in question, I think Salem would be a favorite against every MVC team right now. Pinkerton would be a favorite against all but two or three. And Guertin would be a three touchdown favorite against all MVC teams. And right now, the mid-level teams in NH D1 are better than mid-level MVC teams.
  • Name
    Salem has not earned it. Just because they beat Pinkerton on a down year does not makes them # 1. Not buying it. And your taking like a you know what when you say that a D-2 school from N.H. can be a 3 td favorite over a D-1 school from all of MVC. See this is what I'm trying to say. Someone like your self who don't know anything about high school football because the witers at the eagletribune don't report the games the right way and they will have you believing that it's all about Pinkerton ( CC of N.H. ) football. If you beat pinkerton than your the best. Well that is not the way it works. Methuen came on very strong last year. They beat dracut last year who when on to win the D-1 superbowl. You had to know they were going to be very good this year. Methuen is so young that this team is all about next year. As far as lawrence high is concern. It just shows you how strong the MVC really is. Because the Fan. 4 is not run right. We are at H.L. mercy. Which is not fair to the local teams and players. Only to N.H. teams and players.
  • Ma transplant
    Name, who have you ever seen from NH play? Honestly if you are a player on Methuen you are embarrassing your team by your comments. Bad grammar and spelling aside...

    Also, you responded "what?????" above, the point I was making is you said all MVC teams are public high schools. Last time I checked CCHS was around $10,000.

    If English is your second language I apologize about the spelling and grammar comments. I give you a lot of credit that you can communicate in two languages. If it is your first please study harder in school.
  • Steve
    Name, based on the above comment, I can only come to one conclusion. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. You mentioned above that a Div. 2 school in NH could never compete with a Div.1 MA team. Well then my friend...you have no idea...Bishop Guertin is the real deal. I watched Everett play two years ago, and BG reminds me of that unbelievable Everett team. They would have a chance to win the Div. 1 MA superbowl this year. I know you've never seen them play, but you will judge them because of the division from which they play. Try going to see BG play, then come back and blog about them. I would be interested in reading your expert analysis of the game.
  • Name
    WHAT??????? Your right I should spell check. So should others but I understand. Whats the matter Ma transplant. If making fun of bloggers is all you got than you need help. Stick to the subject. Name calling is not what we are talking about, it's high school football.
  • Name
    Ma transplant I never said that all MVC teams were public high schools. Please read what I say and not what you think I am saying. Everyone here knows I have never said what you just blogged.
  • John Stark
    Name, I admire your passion but you've lost all objectivity. Methuen being "young" does not somehow translate into Methuen being world beaters.

    Salem has earned it because they have, by far, the best ground game in the area and play solid D, and NOT because they beat Pink. Actually, they pummelled Pink, who might not be a Top 4 team in NH D1 this year. And please, enlighten all of us: Which MVC team would be a favorite against Bishop Guertin right now? For that matter, which Mass. team would be a favorite vs. BG? Congrats on Methuen's impressive turn around, but you really need to develop a broader, better informed perspective.
  • Name
    John Stark. Please. Next year will be when Methuen will be a power house from the MVC. Why, I'll tell you why. 90% of there players will be back from both sides of the lines. Also if Cal Carroll doesn't win MVP in the MVC this year he will next year. Please remember you hear it here first. Because I know you wouldn't hear it from the Eagletribune writers. There are a few teams and I don't really like to ans. a stupid question but I will. For one, Billerica. Remember Bishop Guertin only beat Pinkerton ( CC of N.H. ). The eagletribune writers got you thinging if you can beat Pinkerton ( CC of N.H. ) your # 1. I'll take 3 td's and Billerica anytime against any D-1 or D-2 School from N.H.. I even think all the writers from the eagletribune would too.
  • Ma transplant
    I am copying and pasting that you said all MVC schools are area schools. Here is your statement:

    Wrong. I said they would beat Lawrence and Methuen but not the top MVC teams. That is what I said. Also who the hell is Hence the Trib. Are you telling me that if I lived in Salem and I wanted my son to go to Pinkerton High School he couldn't. If you could afford it, you can pay to your kid to go to Pinkerton High School. That is a fact. This has already been proven by another blogger. Pinkerton is not a area team. All of MVC teams are.

    I stated central catholic is not. How am I wrong? Did you really not write this above?


    Also, who from NH have you seen play?

    Why is Billerica 3 TD s better? Bigger, faster, just curious? Let s talk football. Just back up what you say. Billerica definitely is great program.
  • Steve
    Name, several years ago an 8-0 Billerica team lost to Div. 2 Exeter...how do you explain that?
  • Name
    Ma transplant there is something wrong with you. John Stark said in his blog that Guertin would be a three touchdown favorite against all MVC teams. I only responded to his blog. Than he asked me what team I would take. 21 points is alot of points for any team. There are a few teams I would take with 21 points but I said I would take Billerica and 21. I also think Billerica would be the favorite in that game. Now I think you should return to your room, I think lunch is done and you need your meds.
  • Ma transplant
    That just made me laugh outloud! Glad to see you at least have a sense of humor. Good Luck with the rest of your season and if you get a chance you should see a game over the border. I grew up in Mass and had the same attitude as you. In reality the players and talent level are very similiar. If you can prove different let me know.
  • Name
    If the eagletribune and it's writers don't showcase Cal Carroll from Methuen than shame on them. A local kid doing all the right things and not being notice by the local media. This kid is all about being a great player for Methuen and giving back to Methuen. Kids like this can't go unnotice. Not the way things are today. Never mine that he comes from a great family. It's the way he handles himself on and off the field.
  • John Stark
    Name: OK, got it. BG is a three TD favorite over every MVC team and you'll take Billerica and the pts. Fine. But I ask again, at the risk of this being a "stupid question"): Which MVC team would be a favorite against Bishop Guertin right now? For that matter, which Mass. team would be a favorite vs. BG? And before commenting about a team you haven't seen (one suspects you haven't seen many) keep in mind that BG has outscored opponents 224-19 thus far. In fact, I'd take Exeter, Salem, and BG right now over any MVC team and most people who have seen games in both states would agree with me. It just might be time to explore the world outside the 01844 zip code while working to get past the Pinkerton fixation.
  • Name
    John Stark. Do you have a room with Ma transplant. Because I think you need your meds. Bishop Guertin is a D-2 team from N.H.. I will not ans. anymore stupid questions. If you really think Bishop Guertin is the best team in New England. Than it's more than a stupid question. They play a D-2 N.H. Schedule. You already know how I feel about a D-1 N.H. Schedule. John Stark you don't even know who I am so please don't tell me that I haven't seen a lot of high school football. I have seen alot of football all over New england not just Ma. and N.H. so please get off the D-1, D-2 N.H. teams are 3 tds better than ma. teams. Bishop Guertin only beat Pinkerton. We all know Pinkerton is having a down year.
  • DK
    On that Div 2 schedule that you talk about, last year, Dover, NH (non-playoff D2 NH team) beat Andover( "Mighty MVC"). And then Andover beat the CC of Mass. on Thanksgiving. Andover and the CC of Mass. are the top of the MVC right? I know that was last year and they were not very good, doesn't that go against your theory that NH teams are always weak. If your theory was correct then there is no way a lowly non-playoff D2 team from NH can even compete with the "Mighty MVC".
  • Name
    DK, please don't make me put you in the room with other 2 bloggers. I did change a couple of things that you blogged. Tell me would you give any top team from ma. 21 pts. against BG. I know it's a dumb question but I need to know who I'm dealing with. Here are my changers.




    On that Div 2 schedule that you talk about, last year, Dover, NH (non-playoff D2 NH team) beat Andover 4 wins for the year ( "non-playoff D-1 ma team"). And then Andover beat the CC 5 wins for the year of Mass. on Thanksgiving. Andover and the CC of Mass. are the top ( no at the bottom ) of the MVC right? I know that was last year and they were not very good, doesn't that go against your theory that NH teams are always weak. If your theory was correct then there is no way a lowly non-playoff D2 team from NH can even compete with the "Mighty MVC". Not week in and week out. They wouldn't make it. Sorry that is the way it is.

    I will tell you in person at the BG/ CM game fri. Oct. 16, I will be on the north end zone at stellos stadium with a redsox cap on. I love talking football, see you there.

    I'm not going to a BG/CM game all because they are going to play 1 maybe tough game from ma.. That game means nothing to me. This 1 game is everything and I mean everthing to N.H. football. Teams that got to play CM every week is just a reg. game. See that is the differents from Ma. football and N.H. football. To CM it's just a reg. game with no meaning. I'll tell you what, ans. that dumb ass question. If you ans. yes than I'll take CM with 21 pts.

    The game means nothing to BG, does not count in the standings, I just want to watch a good game. Did you mean difference on your post above?, you said differents. Did you ask me a question, I had a hard time following what you were trying to write. Take your time when you write, maybe write a rough draft, maybe you forgot to take your meds. You love Hector now!! Go Methuen!!

    I can see that I have to spell check. But than again so does everyone that blogs here. But not like you I understand. BG is not a public school and it does have kids from Ma.on it's team. But if they beat CM I will look at it as a N.H. team beating a Ma. team. I'm doing this only for you. Go local MVC teams is right on. H.L woke up, when are going to.

    Thanks name, you are right they do have mass. kids, I support all high school football mass. and NH. You have passion for your team, like to see more of that around the region, keep it positive. Like to see Methuen beat Chelmsford.

    Beat Chelmsford this week. Similiar to D2 team BG would beat up on every week. Impressive.

    Ma transplant, get back into your room. Tell the nurse that DK is on his way and to double the dose for him. He needs to carm down. Should I spell check first. Tell the nurse that I will talk to her about DK.

    Methuen better win this week or this scenario:
    Chelmsford beats Methuen, Lawrence over Chelmsford (last week), Lowell over Lawrence(week before), Nashua South ( 1 and 2 in D1 NH) over Lowell 23 - 6 (week before that) Puts your MVC teams losing to a middle of the road D1 team in NH.
    Hopefully your Methuen team takes care of business or your MVC domination looks to be ending quickly. Good luck, Name, just for any once of credibility you might have.

    I'm done with blogging on this topic. It's getting sad. I will fight another day. N.H. bloggers please come with something other than what the last few bloggers have been saying.
