Both Dave Dyer and I are knotted at 14-8 through two weeks of action after a rough and tumble week 2. Looking forward to this week’s slate. Here goes: Friday night North Andover at Amesbury, 7 p.m.: The mysterious absence of Zac Iovanella with the very stranger injured ankle/shoulder excuses makes me quite leary about [...]

Longo makes a nice little move in a tough week, going 8-5 on the grid picks, while Dave Dyer goes 7-6. Notice, I won’t count the Merrimack College results, as this is simply a pure high school contest. That said, 10 observations from the weekend of action: 1. Timberlane is legit, now 2-0, perhaps the [...]

If I didn’t portray it in today’s Eagle-Tribune enough, you have to give it up for Lawrence and Central for the show last night.

Dyer goes 7-2, and i go 6-3 on the grid picks. Time to press I guess. Just kidding. Thoughts on the past weekend? Ouch, Lawrence really got beat up on their home turf against Malden, which suffered a couple major injuries of its own. Coach Mike Yameen could be down four starters on defense, including [...]

Friday Pinkerton at Bishop Guertin … No coach, no victory. The Cards collapse under [...]

OK, the tough work has been done, two-a-days, camp, endless practices, time to look at the local teams and their races, and make a prediction or three on the upcoming year. We’ll start with the Merrimack Valley Conference race. Hmm, looking for a favorite. Folks down river will point to Dracut and its 17 returning [...]

The fall high school season is amazingly close, but before we tear into some football news, we’ll do a little bit of cleanup work with some news and notes. First off, from the baseball diamond. A pair of Andover righties, John Farrell and Shawn Carlson, stole the show at the recent Lynn Invitational tournament over [...]

Just a quick note on the Lawrence High football saga. Our sources say the Lancers will get one more, last, final, absolutely the end of the run, seasons in the Cape Ann before being forced to move back to the MVC, where it competes in every other sport. We’ll try and track Lawrence AD Tim [...]
Congrats to the Greater Lawrence Tech school community on a spectacular championship season!
