Central Catholic senior Zak Adamopoulos, a three-year starter who had eight sacks and 94 tackles this fall, was named the MVC Lineman of the Year.
Pat Graham, who guided Methuen to a 7-4 season following five straight seasons of two or fewer wins, was selected co-Coach of the Year. He shared the award with another second-year [...]

I tried the phone lines in Dracut and sorry, but the folks in charge over there couldn’t be bothered (I guess!!) so now I’ll implore all you folks help us out at The Eagle-Tribune (circulation about 50,000, which according to industry standards represents about 125,000 readers).

I’m a zombie. I loved the man, from who myself and three sisters learned so much.

OK, let’s go through the three New Hampshire title tilts Saturday, one by one.
First, South at Pinkerton
Unlike the other two games where I have a strong opinion, I’ve been bouncing back and forth on this one all week.

Aaaah November, a time where fields bog up and titles are often decided by the club that adjusts best.
This weekend promses to be your typical, annual advertisement for Field-Turf at all New England high schools.
Nowadays, with so many quality Turf sites in the Granite State, you wonder why the championships are still often decided in [...]
