Wow, some great games out there tonight with the one I took in, Lawrence’s upset of Wilmington, right at the top of the list. A monumental Lancer effort in the win, just huge. In a 10 minute span, from two minutes left in the first half to the three-minute mark of the third quarter, lawrence [...]

If you told me that I’d be going to three football games this weekend, Lawrence-Amesbury, Tewksbury-Methuen and Londonderry-Pinkerton, and one would be a nail-biter, the Rangers and Redmen would have been choice No. 3. That said, it was an afternoon war in Tewks, won by the upset-minded Rangers, while the other two turned into blowouts. [...]

Spent a good amount of Thursday night, getting a feel on the game from both coaches, Pinkerton’s Brian O’Reilly and Londonderry’s Jon Rich. The Astros, 3-1 overall and 3-0 in Division 1, travel to the Lancers, 4-0 and 3-0, for a Saturday night clash. The rivalry is gigantic, has been for decades. And now, the [...]

Chelmsford at Andover … On the baseball field, Chelmsford just never beats Andover. But it’s the reverse in football. Weather problems favor the traditional bigger, plodding Lions. As a friend of mine once told me, always bet the heavy greyhounds on a sloppy track. Bruce’s boys 26, Mags’ Warriors 14 Londonderry at West … I [...]

OK, so I went 12-6, didn’t show enough faith in Lawrence and showed a little too much faith in North Andover. Oh well, the deficit is 3 as Dave Dyer, now 29-11 to my 26-14, had a brilliant week. Great job, Duffy, but it’s early. 10 observations from Week 3: 1. Everett is still Everett, [...]
