BMR football wins back-and-forth clash with Keefe Tech marred by fight

BLACKSTONE— The MIAA Division 8 Round of 16 football game between No. 6 Blackstone-Millville (7-2, 1-2 CMAC D) and No. 11 Keefe Tech (6-3, 3-0 CMAC F) on Saturday, Nov. 7 had all the makings of an instant classic: a hard-fought, back-and-forth battle between two evenly matched sides on a cool fall afternoon in the Blackstone Valley. Unfortunately, much like the field after a rain-soaked Friday , the ending muddied things up. Trailing 28-22 with just seconds on the clock, Broncos' sophomore quarterback Kelton Fertel tossed a Hail Mary deep downfield for junior wide receiver Hunter Duran, only for it to be picked off by his counterpart, Chargers senior quarterback/defensive back Karson Cournoyer, near midfield to seal the deal and book BMR's place in the Elite Eight. Then, near the Keefe Tech sideline, emotions boiled over as a fight broke out between the two teams, resulting in the ejection of a few Broncos players as well as Chargers senior wide receiver/defensive back/kicker Nathan Oliveira. The referees, consulting with the Blackstone Police, called the game with 0:04 seconds left and made both teams and fans exit the stadium separately, starting with the visitors. Oliveira, who hauled in a momentum-shifting 90-yard touchdown

Thin, wounded right whale spotted off Cape Cod. Then came a ‘welcome surprise’

Researchers who usually begin watching for North Atlantic right whales in Cape Cod waters in December are now looking several weeks earlier, part of an effort to better understand what the critically endangered animals are doing before their winter arrival in Cape Cod Bay . The expanded survey season is already yielding sightings. During an Oct. 25 aerial survey, scientists with the Center for Coastal Studies spotted three right whales , including one showing signs of a recent entanglement and a mother-calf pair that is not likely to be seen together much longer. Why Cape Cod right whale surveys started two months early The sightings are part of a push to fill in what remains a poorly understood period in the whales' annual use of Massachusetts waters. While Cape Cod Bay is recognized as an important winter and spring feeding area for right whales, their movements during the fall have been less closely monitored. "Expanding our aerial surveys allows for earlier detection of North Atlantic right whales in state waters and surrounding areas, improving our understanding of trends in the species' distribution and helping inform management decisions," said Daniel Palacios, director of the Center for Coastal Studies' Right Whale Ecology
