Old Rochester football risks it all to beat Hudson in thriller

HUDSON — It was all or nothing for the Old Rochester football team . In overtime of the Division 6 state quarterfinal, the No. 7 Bulldogs trailed second-seeded Hudson by a point when Old Rochester’s players made the decision to go for two and the win instead of settle for the tie. “The kids said, ‘Coach let’s go for the win,’” said Old Rochester head coach Bryce Guilbeault. “I said, ‘Let’s do it.’” Senior Matt Tobin bullied his way into the end zone for two points to lift the Bulldogs to a thrilling 22-21 upset win over the previously undefeated Hawks on Thursday, Nov. 12. “I’m happy for Matt,” Guilbeault said. “He’s been overlooked all year. He’s done some great things and he’s a selfless guy. He’ll do whatever it takes for the team to win.” Week 10: SouthCoast High School Football scores and highlights Preview: Breaking down every Week 10 SouthCoast non-playoff football game Old Rochester’s victory avenged last year’s loss to Hudson in the same round and earned the Bulldogs their second trip to the Final Four in the past three years. “It’s awesome,” Guilbeault said. “Last year we were young and we were inexperienced.

Acushnet’s St. Gelais flips seat from Dem to Rep

Last week’s election results took a little bit longer to count than usual. The Neighb News had to go to print with some races and ballot questions still not decided. Now, 99% of the votes are in. Domestic mailed-in ballots postmarked by 11/3 had to be in by 11/6. Ballots mailed from outside the US have until 11/13 to arrive and still be counted. So counting cannot be finished until after then. The results need to be certified by 11/18.

YOUR VIEW: Parking lot criticism ‘missed the mark’

Reasons offered in a recent letter in the Plymouth Independent questioning the addition of 90 new parking spaces at Nathaniel Morton Elementary School missed the mark. Limiting impervious surfaces and reducing the potential for contaminant runoff into the harbor is always beneficial. But adding shared parking spaces at this location won’t change society’s preference for large vehicles; it doesn’t argue for smaller (compact) parking spaces, and it won’t reduce harmful stormwater runoff.
