Perhaps nothing illustrates how fortunate the Patriots are with their internal free-agent class this offseason better than Austin Hooper, a solid veteran for years nearing the twilight of his career, being among their best players hitting the market. Hooper had 21 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns last season, all numbers that were virtually cut in half from the year before when he was in the middle of one of the NFL’s worst offenses. And yet if Hooper walks, the Pats will have a real hole to fill. Starting tight end Hunter Henry is entering a contract year at…
MALDEN — Beverly possesses the depth necessary to win a state title. That was on display in its Round of 16 game against Malden Catholic, where the ninth-seeded Panthers put forth a tenacious team effort to defeat the eighth-seeded Lancers, 68-64, in a gym that has been a house of horrors for many opponents. Two keys to victory for Beverly (18-4) were rebounding the ball and running the fast break. They accomplished both, only getting outrebounded by one board despite giving up a significant size advantage to MC. And they found points on the break all night, with Danny Pierce…
The New England Patriots’ magical run to Super Bowl 60 is in the rearview mirror. Now, it’s time to conduct some business. NFL free agency will begin in earnest next week, as Mike Vrabel and Co. decide which players on their roster to keep and who to sign on the open market. They also have a looming decision to make on star cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who is eligible for a contract extension this offseason as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. Patriots legend Ty Law once was in Gonzalez’s position as one of the NFL’s best young…
The Bruins have $11.25 million invested in their goaltending this season and, since the play has resumed after Olympic break, it has been money well spent. After Joonas Korpisalo stole a win for the B’s over Columbus in the first game back, Jeremy Swayman stopped 34-of-35 shots and the B’s beat the Sidney Crosby-less Pittsburgh Penguins, 2-1, at TD Garden on Tuesday. The Penguins outplayed the B’s by a wide margin in the second and third periods but Swayman stopped all 27 shots he saw in the last 40 minutes and the B’s two first-period goals held up for the…

Scheinman, a second person familiar with the process said, also on condition of anonymity, because no announcement had been made.Because this would be Profar’s second infraction, an appeal would…

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Roman Anthony’s time with Team USA has gotten off to a fantastic start. Tuesday afternoon the young Red Sox outfielder hit a towering two-run home run during Team USA’s first exhibition against the San Francisco Giants in Scottsdale, Arizona. Anthony’s shot came with nobody out in the top of the sixth. After Seattle catcher and AL MVP runner-up Cal Raleigh walked to lead off the inning, Anthony got ahold of a 93.8 mph fastball from Blade Tidwell and sent it 394 feet into the right field concourse. USA pitcher Logan Webb, who was in the middle…
