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

The Cape Ann League Large race, once thought of as a Masconomet lock, is now still up for grabs.
The use of an ineligible player will cost Lawrence High four of its victories, including those over North Andover, Wilmington and Triton.
“We self-reported the problem as soon as we discovered it,” said Lawrence High AD Tim Finn, [...]

Wow, so much to discuss, so little time.
first off, dave dyer and I each dragged out four losses on the week, so I still remain a gigantic longshot at 6 games back with Turkey Day fast approaching.
Congrats to Kevin Bradley at Whittier and Jim Pugh at Masconomet for locking up postseason berths. Both clubs have [...]

Posted in Football on Nov 7th, 2008 Comments

Grid Picks
Dave Dyer
This will be a big week for the Methuen football team.
The Rangers are coming off their historic victory over Central Catholic, to improve to 3-2 in the Merrimack Valley Conference (4-4 overall), but the importance of the win will be diminished if it suffers a letdown tomorrow night against Haverhill.
On paper, Mathuen shouldn’t [...]

First off, it’s yet another stellar weekend on the gridiron. And boom, baby, I pick up two games on Dave Dyer.
An inside for the unfunny E-T staffer, who chooses to mock me, accuse me of not counting my losses correctly then tee-heeing from his little corner desk about the blog: Dave had four losers (Pinkerton, [...]

Grid Picks
Dave Dyer
Is it just me, or does every game seem like a big one for both Central Catholic and Methuen?
As these Merrimack Valley Conference rivals battle to move up in the league standings, they seem to have a tough game every week. Tomorrow night at Lawrence Stadium, their paths collide in what is truly [...]

Need some help from the Pelham folks, now!!!

Posted in Football, Hector Longo on Oct 28th, 2008 Comments

Pelham people,
I was just wondering if any of the Pelham High backers had a. Stats from the Bow and Brady games or b. Game videos from either that I could take the stats from.
I do this for all the players, but in this case, especially Bruce Vieira, who will go down as one of the [...]

By the way, here’s my pick in Billerica-Dracut and why.

Posted in Football, Hector Longo on Oct 24th, 2008 Comments

It’s not a game with any of our teams involved, but I wouldn’t be a sportswriter if I couldn’t shed an opinion on Billerica-Dracut.
As hinted at earlier, I’ll go with the Middies for two reasons.

Note: Dave Dyer had Lawrence over NA last night. Here are the rest of his choices.
TEWKSBURY (2-4)
at Central Catholic (3-3)
Both teams have been impressive at times and sluggish at other times. Tewksbury is coming in on a high, having blanked Chelmsford, 21-0, last week behind Joel Altavesta’s 189 yards and three TDs. The loser of [...]

It’s a huge, turning point week for a handful of programs.
As many as half-dozen teams face gut checks, or decisive games this week, huge tests.
Here goes the quest to get back in the game.
Thursday
North Andover at Lawrence … North Andover, struggling and rebuilding, has to be looking at this one like one it can [...]

Here’s the new Longo top-10. Yes, I’m ranting again.

Posted in Football, Hector Longo on Oct 22nd, 2008 Comments

The Monday night massacre in Foxboro set the Longo Express back time wise, almost as much as dave Dyer’s picks this weekend, that pushed his lead back to nine wins for the year. I will not surrender, although, chopping 1.5 games off his lead a week will be tough.
Remember, this week starts a day earlier [...]
