Week 9 serves as a bookend to the regular season and will be the last chance for high school football teams to make their case for postseason placement. Come Nov. 2, programs will officially know whether or not they will have an opportunity to embark on a run to Gillette. The squads that have made the Herald’s Sweet 16 this week will almost certainly be participating in the postseason.

Baylor Scheierman will be in the Boston Celtics’ plans for at least another season, it appears. The Celtics are exercising Scheierman’s $2.74 million team option for the 2026-27 season, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported Thursday. Boston had until Friday to make a decision on Scheierman’s 2026-27 option.

It’s good to be Marcus Jones. The Patriots’ veteran cornerback/punt returner was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Month on Thursday, having tied for the league lead with eight pass breakups in October. He also recorded 20 tackles, a sack and two interceptions this month. On the season, Jones has helped power his defense to a top-5 ranking in points allowed and by EPA (Expected Points Added). The 27-year-old was named a captain at the start of the season and has since played 76% of the Patriots’ defensive snaps. Jones also leads the NFL in punt return average at…
After Morgan Geekie potted 33 goals last season – 30 of which were scored after December 2 – it was fair to wonder what kind of season he could put together if he got off to a decent start. David Pastrnak, after watching Geekie score on a 95 mph slapper from well above the left circle in the B’s 5-2 win over the Islanders on Tuesday, set the bar high for his pal. “I think he has everything to score 50 in this league,” declared Pastrnak, who knows a thing or two about scoring goals. Apprised of Pastrnak’s comment, Geekie…

When the Red Sox were developing their new Fenway Green City Connect uniforms, club officials had high hopes that the design would resonate. But when you’re talking about a radical new look for one of baseball’s most storied franchises, there is always some level of risk. As it turned out, the greens proved to be a home run.
