FOXBORO — When the Patriots head to Nashville, they’ll bring with them a quarterback who’s playing as though he’s in complete control. He feels pressure and reacts accordingly. He sees a sliver of daylight deep down the field and attacks it with uncanny accuracy. In Drake Maye’s recent nearly-error-free performance in New Orleans, his offensive teammates barely wanted to talk to him, as though he was in the middle of a no-hitter. His defensive teammates on the sidelines watched him in awe, saying he must be in a “flow state.” Maye was asked this week if he felt as though…

CANTON — Having a lockdown defense is basically a requirement for success in the always competitive Hockomock League. And Foxboro certainly has that taken care of as its defense went up to another level Friday night to take down Davenport Division rival Canton. The Warriors turned in a stingy defensive performance and have now allowed only 28 points over their last four games following a grind-it-out 14-6 road win at Memorial Field. “A lot of the kids on defense played full time last year, kind of under the radar,” Foxboro head coach Jack Martinelli said. “I knew we would be…
If you asked me six months ago what I thought the Red Sox lineup would look like by season’s end, my answer would have been shockingly wrong. Going though each section of the diamond, here’s where my general thought process stood in April:The outfield would mostly feature Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Wilyer Abreu (after a midseason trade of Jarren Duran).The infield would eventually transform into Alex Bregman at third, Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell settling in at short and second, and Triston Casas still at first overcoming his early season slump. (Trevor Story would still be in the mix,…
WESTWOOD – For many, Friday night’s football showdown between Catholic Memorial and Xaverian was billed as the game of the year. Simply put, it was. Senior quarterback Will Wood completed 8-of-14 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown, while junior Zander Govostes drilled the clinching 23-yard field goal as time expired as the Hawks (4-2) snapped the Knights’ 17-game winning streak with an unforgettable 25-22 victory. “It’s great,” Wood said. “Because this year, we’ve lost to games in the same situation where we weren’t able to finish. I’m so proud of the guys for not giving up on that, staying…

More than a year after his first game in a Celtics uniform, Ron Harper Jr. finally landed an official contract with Boston this week. Harper had his training camp tryout deal converted to a two-way contract on Thursday, enabling him to play in games for both the Celtics and their G League affiliate this season. The promotion was a long time coming for the 6-foot-6 Rutgers product, who played for the Celtics’ Summer League squad last offseason, attended C’s training camp last fall and appeared in 14 games for the Maine Celtics early last season. “I just came in and…
If someone told you the Bruins had pumped in eight goals and gotten good goaltending in two games, you might think they’d have a little something to show for it. No such luck. In the last two games, the B’s looked nothing like the team that was advertised, which might have been OK for the entertainment value but not for their quest to make the playoffs. The problem was that while they were able to find the back of the net with more frequency than expected against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday and then the Vegas Golden Knights on…
The Boston Celtics may already have a serious injury concern before they’ve even tipped off the regular season. Celtics star Jaylen Brown suffered a hamstring injury during the team’s preseason finale on Wednesday night and while he was able to practice on Friday, his status for opening night is still in question. “Joe Mazzulla said Jaylen Brown was able to do everything but the live portion of practice today” Jay King of The Athletic posted on X. Joe Mazzulla said Jaylen Brown was able to do everything but the live portion of practice today.— Jay King (@ByJayKing) October 17, 2025…
