Today is a celebration of New Hampshire high school football, albeit a soggy one. Six teams embark to the University of New Hampshire's Wildcat Stadium with dreams of becoming state champions. It's hard to argue no one belongs. Nothing brings out more controversy than the setup for high ...
Enough of living in the past, New England Patriot fans. You all want Rob Gronkowski to unretire and the apologetic Antonio Brown to come back. Stop. They're both gonzo and are not walking through that door, even though the rumors persist, especially with Brown and his foolishness. One is ...
HOLLIS – Immersed, almost unwillingly, into the New England Patriots dynasty during his most formative, growing years, Marc-Andre Thermitus refuses to budge. “Pittsburgh Steelers, baby, born and raised,” the Hollis Brookline High School junior said. The folks out on Route 122 don’t ...
I know the holidays are still a ways off, but today I am in the mood for giving. So to you, the four coaches of Boston’s meaningful sports teams – sorry, Revs fans – it’s time to impart some sage words to help improve the local sports scene. First up has to be the legend, the best ...
NASHUA – Growing pains. It has started out the non-conference portion of their schedule, but there's plenty of reason to believe the Rivier University women's basketball team will be better in February than it is in November. “We have a lot of learning to do,” Raiders coach Paul ...
It was not only a banner fall locally for high school girls volleyball on the court with Nashua South's Division I title, but in the New Hampshire High School Volleyball Coaches Association All-State selections as well. Several locals made teams in all three divisions, but two were named ...
While Major League Baseball is among the most inward-looking islands on the planet, the rest of the world does occasionally make its mark. Even the business of baseball, which so often seems a fantasy compared to real-world slogging from paycheck to paycheck, is susceptible economic change. ...
Ignore all the complaints, Sunday's New England Patriots win in Philly was truly special. Why? Well, despite their offensive deficiencies and slow start on both sides of the ball, the Patriots showed some resiliency and grit in gutting out a physical win over a slightly better-than-average ...
They say hindsight is 20/20. I would beg to differ, at least as it pertains to the NHIAA. These folks severely dropped the ball a year ago when they made the decision not to allow replays on the “jumbotron” at UNH for the state championship football games. As someone who was there for ...
'Tis the season. Yes, but while it's holiday time, it's also the season for local high school athletes to sign National Letters of Intent to attend and play their sports for colleges and universities. There are always a lot during the second week of November, and here is just a sampling of ...
Antonio Brown has apologized to the Patriots and team owner Robert Kraft for any negative attention he brought to the team during his brief stint in New England. The four-time All-Pro receiver posted his apology on Instagram Tuesday, writing: “All I wanted to be was an asset to the ...

Nobody wraps up a season like the Merrimack High School football team. Unfortunately, they've been wrapping them up after tough Division I semifinal losses the last few years. It was quite an emotional scene on Saturday after the Exeter Blue Hawks took just a sliver over two hours to ...
As postgame personas go, Tom Brady on Sunday evening looked like a man whose car was stolen and driven through his living room, which set his house on fire, causing his dog to dart into the woods never to be found. Since Brady’s mood sets the mood for Patriots fans near and far, this is a ...
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Julian Edelman threw a go-ahead 15-yard touchdown pass to Phillip Dorsett and the New England Patriots rallied for a 17-10 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Tom Brady threw for 216 yards, leading New England (9-1) back from a 10-0 deficit, but it was ...
EXETER – There's always an adjustment period when you have to play the Exeter High School football team. You just had better not let it last too long, or fall too far behind. Unfortunately the Merrimack Tomahawks did both in Saturday's 34-14 Divison I semifinal loss at the hands of the Blue ...
By HECTOR LONGO and TOM KING Staff Writers And then there was one. Once again, there won’t be a local in the Division I finals next Sunday at the University of New Hampshire’s Wildcat Stadium. But lo and behold, for the second straight season the area will have a Division II finalist, ...

HOLLIS – So how long does it take a seasoned, sizzling high school quarterback to trust a fresh, new, raw wide receiver? About 24 minutes ... 24 pointless, inept, painful minutes. Hollis Brookline’s Sander Wimmer simply paid little or no attention to junior receiver Blake Bergerson the ...
By CHRIS PANTAZIS For The Telegraph BOW – Hollis Brookline football coach Chris Lones took stock of the fact that prior to the 2019 campaign numerous prognosticators looked at his squad as one which, at best, was on the proverbial “bubble” to even qualify for the Division II playoffs. ...
