Friday night at Nicholson Stadium had to be.
I throw out this compliment with the deepest respect one can muster in these parts.

His once-proud Methuen High football program is in incredibly competent hands.
Any dissenters to that statement, doubters of Pat Graham and his Methuen High [...]

Some random thoughts while I wonder how Susanna Hoffs is looking these days …
Sorry Sondra, the song is just sticking in my head.
The news whispers like the wind around the Merrimack Valley. All sides, remember I have nothing to do with this other than report the rumor. Do not ATTACK me.
There is word that a [...]
1. The countdown to Central Catholic-Billerica has officially begun. Yes, those two don’t play for two weeks, but the MVC large has thing to two teams with Andover’s loss to Dracut. The Raiders and Indians are on a collision course.
2. Let’s say this about Central, the Raiders are resilient. Facing adversity, Central rallied like the [...]
Oh, it’s your typical Thursday check-in by the Creature …

Pretty good time, well as good as any, to check in with an updated Fantastic Four.
I will start with this. I had a reader chime in as to whether the prep schools in the region, Brooks and Phillips, were included in the Fanty Four.

Central wins a football game, loses a hoop player
Posted in Uncategorized on Oct 24th, 2009 Comments
All right, sorry for no picks this week. Seriously, i’m getting a tad tired of it. And there’s no way I could ever have picked Methuen over Andover or Newburyport over North Andover.
That said, there’s plenty of news.
Have to start with hoop, where sensational freshman Derek Collins has transferred out of Central Catholic to North [...]
