Why Not?

Why not learn why you shouldn't do handsprings during football?

To be honest, he really didn't break any rules there, so they really shouldn't have thrown him out. The other team should've just knocked him the fuck out.

A Truly Sad Story

A high school football star who had been signed to play at Vanderbilt University was shot to death Thursday by his mother's ex-boyfriend. He was only 18 years old. What a chicken shit way to do things, and it seems to be happening more. Someone decides they don't want to live anymore, and decide to take someone with them. It is like that plane crash in Texas where the guy burned down his house, then ran his plane into a building, just because the IRS was going to audit him.

The full story hasn't come out, but this kid had a very bright future for himself, and it is too bad some selfish asshole had to ruin it.

Miami To Have Recruiting Problems?

Miami has always had a lot of NFL players coming through their school, but that could change, since one of the main high schools they get players from (Miami Northwestern) is none to happy about the treatment of one of their players.

Miami Northwestern coaching staff felt that DT Todd Chandler was wronged by the Hurricanes coaches. Chandler supposedly was Miami's first commitment in the class of 2010, and the 'Canes then seemingly lost interest with no explanation. Though we may never know the full story of what happened, what matters is that there are reports going around that Miami Northwestern is now pushing their players to attend different schools then the "U".

It doesn't seem like it would be a big deal to lose a connection to one school, but this is team that had 8 players from this school (including QB Jacory Harris, WR Aldarius Johnson and LB Sean Spence). Miami really needs to find a way to fix this relationship, as it seemed like they were heading in the right direction this year, and don't need something like this to set them back again.

Xaverian 29, Everett 0

For the first time since 1998, Xaverian Brothers High School won the Division 1 Championship last night with a dominating shutout over Everett. The victory completed a 13-0 season for the Hawks, the best record in program history. On their way to this accomplishment, Xaverian beat powerhouse Brockton twice, Everett twice, Division 1A runner-up Bridgewater-Raynham, and even played a game in New Jersey against Hudson Catholic, winning 42-0. The Hawks defense allowed a mere 11.6 points per game this season.

Top Thanksgiving Day Rivals

Well for Massachusetts at least...

Boston Latin at Boston English, 10 a.m. – These two teams have been battling since 1887. It is the oldest continuous rivalry in the country. Despite the age of the rivalry, it has been one sided for a while. Boston Latin leads the series 73-36-13 and has won 27 of the last 29 meetings including 12 straight.

Needham at Wellesley, 10 a.m. – Needham and Wellesley first met on Thanksgiving Day in 1882. It is the oldest public school rivalry in the nation. Wellesley leads the series 58-54-9. If Needham wins this year, the Rockets will go to the playoffs.

Malden at Medford, 10 a.m. – Malden and Medford have been battling since 1889. Malden holds a slight lead in the series, 57-54-10 and with a victory will climb to .500 this season.

Beverly at Salem, 10 a.m. – The 111th installation of “The Game” is for bragging rights. Beverly leads the series 53-50-7.

Barnstable at Falmouth, 10 a.m. – This is one of the more hotly contested rivalries around. Barnstable leads the series by a game, 56-55-8.

New Bedford at Durfee, 10:15 a.m. – The rivalry between these two schools started in 1893. It is the oldest Thanksgiving Day rivalry on the South Coast of New England. New Bedford leads the series 68-39-10.

Waltham at Brockton, 10 a.m. – While this isn’t one of the oldest rivalries, it is one of the most intense. The two have met 75 times, with Brockton winning 44 times. The winner of this year’s match will have bragging rights forever because the two won’t renew the rivalry next year.

Framingham at Natick, 10 a.m. – The 105th meeting between the two teams holds a lot of meaning. Framingham needs a win to stay in the Bay State Carey race while Natick is looking to avenge a loss to the Flyers in last year’s edition of the rivalry. Natick leads the series 68-30-5.

Whitman-Hanson at Abington, 10 a.m. – This is the 99th meeting between the teams. Whitman-Hanson holds the edge in the series 56-39-3.

East Boston at South Boston, 9:30 a.m. – East Boston holds a one game lead in this close series 43-42-6.

Have to give a shout out to Needham for having the oldest football rivalry in the nation. Should be a great game this year, since if Needham wins they are in the playoffs, but I won't be attending because it is in Wellesley and that is just too much effort on Thanksgiving...
