“(Connor Kulig) walked to his bathroom by himself, about five or six steps the other day,” Gibbons said. “Brushed his own teeth and it looks like he is on target to go to Spaulding rehab (Friday), which is remarkable. Nothing short of a miracle, basically.”.

Since 2014, the South Shore League has sent two football teams each year to the state championship. They're 7-1 in those games. SSL is the best pound-for-pound league in the state.

You’d think after a disappointing blowout loss, kids would be in a rush to get out of the gym. That was not the case today. Abington captains Derek Nuttall and Tommy Fanara were working on their games a half hour after a loss to Brockton.

If my math is correct, the Rockland High football team is 34-7 over the last four years with eight playoff wins and a state title. Of those seven losses are two playoff loses, three losses to teams in higher divisions and a Thanksgiving loss before a Super Bowl appearance.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a team get as much out of their talent as this year’s Rockland team. 19 wins, SSL Sullivan and the top seed in D3S. Team epitomized ‘Rockland Basketball’.

Another great coaching job by Rockland’s Diana Newcomb (@dmitch1500). Bulldogs are 85-21 over the last five seasons with a 10-3 record in the tournament. Has to be one of the most underrated coaches in the state.
When the games on the line, giving the ball to an Elie is a good decision. Ducks UA Rise Diamond sophomore sensation Maggie Elie made this game winner w/ 36 seconds left in Rocklands 46-44 win vs DS to advance to State Tournament Final Four! #MTEDFamily #MsClutch #UARiseDiamond
