What a petty piece of shit you are. 🤣 It's not a typo. Just like you claiming that Imhotep Charter was a private school. That wasn't a mistake. You were just ignorant. You thought the school's name was Bishop Hendrickson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This latest incident WAS a typo. You’re really getting more and more pathetic with your feeble attempts to insult people these days.

They just don't know the actual name. People don't mistake a *charter* school for a private school. They just don't know that it's a charter school.

Too good? "No, sir," says Joe. "Too bad." Never saw this story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they won handily. It looks like Bishop Hendrickson played Iona Prep (NY) instead and got whipped 35-14. CM is playing Hendricken this weekend. A good game between two of the best teams in New England. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best Mass.-Conn. series I can remember was Xaverian and New Britain (Conn.) back in 2003-04-05. Back then, New Britain was the team to beat in Conn. New Britain won the first one down there, 41-6, then X beat them in 04 back in Westwood, 49-0. The New Britain coach left that offseason, and X won the rubber match. These days, the way the playoff points work in Conn., you don't see games like that too often. You don't see a lot of Maine OOS games for some reason. NH teams have played a lot of Mass. teams over the years. Catholic Memorial played a Vt. team for a few years. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinkerton Academy and Brockton had a long-running series that ended when the NHIAA did a realignment that eliminated Pinkerton's open dates. I think Maine is similar in not having open dates. There are New England championships in several individual sports--many years ago they also existed for team sports, but never football.

MA Fan Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Catholic Memorial drilled Bishop Hendricken 55-28, it was 55-14 midway through the third quarter. Springfield Central star QB missed their game after being involved in a car accident earlier in the day, not many details but coach said he thinks he will be alright, they won easily without him.

MA Fan Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 The long-awaited debut of the statewide power rankings is here: http://miaa.net/contentm/easy_pages/view.php?sid=38&page_id=361 Seems like there are a number of incorrect records and missing results? Springfield Central for example is listed as 1-1, I don't know if the IMG game counts but they are 2-1 in-state. Nice that they are weighting strength of schedule highly but it will ruffle some feathers that winless Brockton would make the playoffs if the season ended today.

The 14-point cap for margin of victory is really helping to drag down teams who have some weak opponents on their schedule...Everett down to #9 in D1 and their SOS is going to take another hit this week. I'd be interested to see what the ratings would look like if there was a higher cap or no cap. The ratings at this point aren't too different from MaxPreps but where they differ I tend to agree with MaxPreps. Globe had their article where coaches of low-rated teams with good records get to complain...I have sympathy for some of these teams.

MA Fan Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Super Bowls are being moved to December 1-2 and 6 (Wed/Thurs/Mon) since the Revolution will need Gillette that weekend. No excuse for everyone here not to watch now. Hopefully this will let them play 12-minute quarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA Fan Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 The slightly-delayed, heavily-controversial, still-subject-to-change playoff brackets are finally out: http://miaa.ezstream.com/index.cfm?ChnID=331&SubID=-1&chncd=331,-1&itemid=8443&parid=-1&Org=MIAA&CFID=298088&CFTOKEN=82beb368340d675d-AB1AB52B-B820-73D9-A85F5B1FA5C4A71F Here are the pairings for the top two divisions: Division 1 #1 Franklin (7-0) - #16 Braintree (4-4) #8 Methuen (6-2) - #9 Everett (7-0) #5 Springfield Central (6-2) - #12 Lawrence (4-4) #4 Xavierian (6-2) - #13 Brockton (3-5) #3 St. John's Prep (6-2) - #14 Shrewsbury (4-4) #6 Wachusett (7-1) - #11 Andover (5-3) #7 St. John's-Shrewsbury (4-4) - #10 Taunton (4-4) #2 Central Catholic (7-1) - #15 Weymouth (5-3) Division 2 #1 Catholic Memorial (7-0) - #16 Woburn (6-1) #8 Bishop Feehan (7-1) - #9 Reading (8-0) #5 Lincoln-Sudbury (7-0) - #12 Wellesley (6-2) #4 Marshfield (7-1) - #13 Beverly (4-4) #3 King Philip (6-1) - #14 Chelmsford (6-2) #6 Mansfield (5-3) - #11 Barnstable (6-2) #7 Natick (7-1) - #10 North Andover (3-5) #2 Milford (6-2) - #15 Hingham (5-3) D2 has the clear best team (CM) and may be deeper, but I guess the championship race in D1 is more competitive due to the best team being in D2. Took a look at the volleyball brackets and lol the statewide thing is not going to go over well...they need to regionalize the first couple rounds at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a legitimate question. They blew out everyone in their league. Beat Xaverian at the beginning of the year. Tough loss for Everett, and I wonder how they'll respond next year. This year's team was extremely senior dominated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA Fan Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Championship game schedule is out. MIAA's hands are tied on the scheduling but it does suck that the games are during the week. I think the Monday games get moved to Friday 12/3 if the Revolution are eliminated from the MLS playoffs. Presumably these will be streamed somewhere. Wednesday 12/1 3:00 D8: Hull (9-2) vs. Randolph (7-4) 5:30 D7: Wahconah (11-0) vs. Cohasset (8-2) 8:00 D5: North Reading (10-1) vs. Swampscott (11-0) Thursday 12/2 3:00 D3: Marblehead (10-0) vs. North Attleboro (7-3) 5:30 D1: Central Catholic (10-1) vs. Springfield Central (9-2) 8:00 D2: Catholic Memorial (11-0) vs. King Philip (9-1) Monday 12/6 5:00 D6: Abington (10-1) vs. Rockland (9-1) 7:30 D4: Scituate (10-1) vs. Duxbury (9-1) Expect lots of points in the D1 game. Five of the eight games are between teams that would have been in the same section under the old system so I guess that's a win for the statewide bracketing. Marblehead and Swampscott play on Thanksgiving, is this the first time for a Thanksgiving game between two teams in state championship games? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
