OK, time to put pen to paper on the Turkey Day happenings here … I’ll start with Billerica, which feels the wrath of the miaa and has to travel to Reading for a Rockets home game. Now, I’m sure that I’ll hear that this is sheer coincidence, that Reading was a site and this is [...]

There is no other place to start than Beaudry Field where Methuen and Dracut collide. Honestly, I’m bipolar on this one.

Central-Billerica at Veterans Memorial Stadium Friday night. First off, I say, if you’re at the game, take a minute to look at the memorials in the stadium courtyard. Wednesday was Veterans Day, of course. if you know me, you understand I’m a bit of a history buff. I simply think about all the sacrifices the [...]
