For the record, here is that much talked about 130-plus player All-MVC team, from the perspective of this side of the Valley

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 [...]

Paging someone from the MVC with a little pride … Repeat … Someone from the MVC with a little pride

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). Perhaps, they’re ashamed. Perhaps, they don’t like being mocked [...]

Crowning the final “Longo Top 10″ champion

Time to put a wrap on the football season. Hope you all enjoyed the first-ever All-Longo team. I’ve read all the responses and can only say that I tried to be as honest and fair as I could be. In putting together my final Top 10, I tried to weigh all the factors that matter [...]

Announcing the much-awaited, sure-to-be critiqued “All Longo Team” for 2008

Posted in Football, Hector Longo on Nov 29th, 2008 View Comments

OK, I’ve taken some time to ponder criteria for this team, which will be an annual event as long as I’m around to comment about it. Again, this is no all-state, all-league, all-scholastic or Eagle-Tribune All-Star team. To make my team, an athlete has to play with passion and personality, do something athletically that makes [...]

The first-ever All-Longo team is coming!!!

Posted in Football, Hector Longo on Nov 27th, 2008 View Comments

If John Madden can do it, so can I. This weekend, I will post the first-ever “All-Longo” football team in history. This is NOT RELATED ONE BIT to Eagle-Tribune All-Stars. It’s my team, with an offensive and defensive Player of the Year (not seven MVPs as the MVC coaches tend to do) and starting lineups. [...]

Sorry about the delay here. The world lost a good one yesterday … Turkey day picks and some notes on Lawrence-Greater Lawrence

I apologize to my loyal blog buddies and readers. The last few days, I have been engrossed with the passing of my dad, Hector Longo, who fought like a champion but succumbed at the age of 81 Wednesday at MGH. I’m a zombie. I loved the man, from who myself and three sisters learned so [...]

I know I’m late, but here are my NH playoff picks

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. South figures to be a handful, and it’s funny but you get the feeling a [...]

OK, the weekend picks are upon us again … Pinkerton-Londonderry II should be a war!

Posted in Football, Hector Longo on Nov 13th, 2008 View Comments

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 [...]
