Xaverian showed it was able to bounce back from adversity time and time again to win the Catholic Conference title for the third straight year. The Hawks open with a familiar foe in Catholic Memorial, then a possible second-round tilt with Franklin or Durfee. Three other Catholic Conference teams (BC High, St. John’s Prep and St. John’s of Shrewsbury) are in the same bracket, making for some juicy early-round contests. Bishop Feehan and Andover are two talented teams capable of winning some games in the postseason. Plymouth North rolled to the Div. 2 state title last year and has to…

The Boston Celtics have an active offseason ahead as they aim to get under the second apron. Most of the discourse on their potential moves has been about parting ways with key players, but what about adding one of the league’s biggest superstars? The Milwaukee Bucks could look to jumpstart their rebuild and move on from two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst mentioned on Get Up! that “the move for Giannis, if he has the control, is to go to the East.” Windhorst named the Celtics and the New York Knicks as the top options. Is acquiring Antetokounmpo…
The word dynasty gets floated around a little too often in sports. In the case of Taunton softball, the phrase is more than appropriate. The Tigers enter the 2025 Division 1 tournament seeking a fifth straight state title and have won 21 straight postseason games dating back to a South sectional semifinal loss to Bishop Feehan in 2019. As usual, the road to UMass won’t be an easy one for Taunton as there are several worthy contenders. On their side of the bracket, Central Catholic, Attleboro and Bishop Feehan are all dangerous teams. Second-seeded Wachusett won 18 games, while Lincoln-Sudbury…
The Boston Red Sox needed an all-around effort Friday night to snap their five-game losing streak when they faced the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. They got it and secured a 5-1 victory to improve to 28-31 on the season. A key moment in the win came in the bottom of the seventh inning, with the Red Sox leading 3-1. The Braves got the potential tying run to first base with two outs. Matt Olson hit a grounder to Trevor Story, and the shortstop made a diving stop. Story’s throw to first was a bit off the mark and appeared to pull…
I love movies. I’ve watched 89 movies this year, and it’s only May. That sentence is supposed to display the depth of my film consumption, but probably says more about what I have going on in my life. I’m single, and the first three months of the year have no baseball. What else am I supposed to do? Anyways, a lot of my favorite movies are those that subvert my expectations. I think I have it figured out because I’ve seen it a hundred times before, but then it takes a turn and goes in another direction. My favorite movie…
The Red Sox arrived in Atlanta on their first five-game losing streak of the season, fresh off getting swept in Milwaukee, where the Brewers had walked them off in each of the last two games. On Friday night, Boston bounced back with a 5-1 come-from-behind win and one of their most complete, high-caliber performances in weeks. The outlook wasn’t bright early on. This beleaguered Boston ballclub ran the whole gamut of their issues in the opening frame, wasting a pair of base runners – Rafael Devers singled and Wilyer Abreu walked – in the top of the first, and gifting…
BOSTON (WHDH) – Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is talking about a good cause he’s throwing his support to.

The pieces are starting to fall for the Red Sox, even if Boston is still trying to put the puzzle together across the infield. With Alex Bregman and Triston Casas sidelined with injuries, the Red Sox have been forced to make changes at third and first base. The changes apparently will not include Rafael Devers, who has not taken reps at either corner since the injuries. “Conversations are ongoing,” Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow told reporters in Atlanta, per MassLive’s Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam. “It’s best to keep them internal. But obviously, there’s nothing to show right…

In all likelihood, this Celtics offseason will be defined by Boston offloading pieces from its championship core in pursuit of luxury tax relief, not making big-ticket additions to its roster. But a report this week from one prominent NBA insider listed the Celtics as a potential suitor for this summer’s premier trade target: two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. With Antetokounmpo potentially on his way out of Milwaukee after the Bucks’ third consecutive first-round playoff exit, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst said the 30-year-old superstar should be angling for a trade to another team in the Eastern Conference, which projects to be substantially…
