The absolute worst thing about the AD job this year is telling people they can’t go to games and support our athletes. Please be patient with your local AD as we deal with crowd rules and restrictions and EEA guidelines. It’s a work in progress with safety as the priority!

After 22 seasons, I will be stepping down as Head Girls BB Coach at Mansfield. It has been an honor to work with so many dedicated young women and talented asst. coaches and to coach against the great teams/coaches in the Hockomock League. Very thankful for this great experience!

Does anyone find it alarming that middle school students are playing contact football during December and in the spring? I love the game, but it's a fall sport and adding more contact at that age is simply unnecessary. Football has avoided specialization-please keep it that way!

The MIAA has created an athletic calendar with four seasons but none of the seasons overlap so you do not have to choose between sports. And if you are interested, you can participate in all four seasons! The “new” season is Fall 2 with football, volleyball and cheer on 2/22.

For the last decade, high school and college football coaches have done a great job of reducing contact to increase player safety and now we have adults offering middle school contact football in the off season? Doesn’t make sense does it if we truly value the health of players?

Really need to re-evaluate how much opponent value factors into Power Rating. 50% is significant and if your mandated league games are reducing your Opponent value you have no options. Everett should be in the playoffs at 7-1 and should not be sitting at home.
