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.

New management at New England's only Lee's Sandwiches location

The Lee’s Sandwiches location at 68 Stafford St., Worcester, recently transitioned to new management just ahead of the busy holiday rush. Located in the Webster Square Plaza, the business is part of a growing number of casual eateries anchoring the area. The corporate-owned/operated store has introduced a new leadership team, led by acting manager Daniel Fuentes of Southbridge. Tracey Pham of Worcester and siblings were franchise owners who opened the quick-service restaurant at Webster Square Plaza in August 2025. Family members have stepped away to focus on their individual career ventures. Lee’s Sandwiches is a West Coast family-owned Vietnamese-American fast-casual chain famous for its banhi mi Vietnamese-style sandwiches. The Worcester store is currently the company’s only New England location. Fans of the signature sandwiches, house-made baquettes, croissants, all-day breakfast sandwiches, signature Lee’s iced coffees, appetizers, pastries, etc., can rest easy as Fuentes confirms they will remain. Customers also stand to benefit from a few price drops. A new express counter includes pre-packaged treats and to-go items like canned condensed milk. “It’s all about saving our customers time and fitting their needs,” said Fuentes. “Convenience.” The Vietnamese ice-coffee menu here is extremely popular, according to Fuentes. The store also serves brewed

Fried Chicken Fans Have 10 Massachusetts Restaurants To Put On Their List

Three seats. That is all one of my favorite fried chicken counters in Massachusetts has, and somehow that makes me want to eat there even more. The rest of the list gets just as interesting. One spot keeps spicy chicken sandwiches coming late into the evening, another pairs halal fried chicken with fresh waffles, and Nashville style hot chicken shows up tucked into sliders.

Bronzetti's ends Columbus Club venture to refocus on Eagles location

One of the biggest challenges of owning and operating a restaurant is keeping it clean and rodent-free, especially in an older building. This is the top priority of Bubba Bronzetti, owner of Bronzetti's Pizza & Kitchen after a recent routine health inspection at the restaurant's location at South Framingham Fraternal Order of Eagles lodge , 55 Park St, found 10 violations, including rodent droppings and a mouse sighting. All of the violations have been corrected and Bronzetti did not have to shut down, but soon after, he announced the termination of his restaurant's brief partnership with The Columbus Club, where he was operating a catering business. Bronzetti said the two developments are not directly related. The inspection occurred at the Eagles, not the Columbus Club. But he acknowledged that trying to operate at two locations stretched him thin and diverted his attention from the restaurant at the Eagles, where Bronzetti’s has operated for about four years. "I think the Columbus took my focus away from the Eagles, where it began to kind of slip a little bit," Bronzetti said. Bronzetti and fiancée Melissa Hanna had concentrated on building the Columbus Club operation while employees managed the Eagles restaurant. More: USA

Professor Won’t Shut Up About Stupid Baby

Beloved political science Professor Pat Ernity made his grand return from family leave this week. But according to students, he’s far from business as usual. Office hours attendee Kate Hids claims that instead of rounding her 73 to a 95, Prof Ernity yapped about his new baby for 30 minutes. “I couldn’t get a word in! He was all, ‘he’s growing so fast, he sleeps so well, blah blah blah.’ If I wanted to hear about some random kid, I’d watch ‘Toddlers and Tiaras.’” Colleagues have noticed a change as well. Professor Madison Washington reports that the political stickers on Professor Ernity’s door like “Believe Women,” “Justice for Contingents,” and “OJ Did It” have been covered up by photos of the aforementioned stupid baby. Instead of Bobby Kennedy (the first one) campaign posters and MLK quotes, the office walls were plastered with pictures of the same ugly baby from the door. Professor Washington also says that faculty meetings have doubled in length since Professor Ernity has discovered how to show baby photos on the projector. “There are only so many times I can pretend to care,” says Professor Washington. According to Professor Ernity’s advisee George J. H. W. Bush, thesis meetings aren’t going any smoother. “All he talks about is this stupid baby. He’s acting like he’s the one that gave birth. What is he, a seahorse?”

Sheriffs across Massachusetts have requested $241 million to repair and renovate their jails

Jail Funding Massachusetts ASSOCIATED PRESS Bristol County Sheriff Paul Heroux is seeking $27 million in state funding to renovate the Dartmouth House of Correction, so he can close the 148-year-old Ash Street Jail. But Heroux is facing competition from sheriffs across Massachusetts . They’re all seeking a share of limited state funding for major repairs and renovations at their facilities. Among the contenders is a jail even older than Ash Street: the Dukes County jail on Martha’s Vineyard, built in 1873, which needs structural and fire-safety repairs and more space. Essex County seeks to overhaul Middleton jail’s kitchen and dining area, while Worcester County wants to renovate deteriorating jail housing units and demolish a former hospital nurses’ home. Heroux shared his funding proposal with The Light for the first time, providing new details about the work needed to close Ash Street and its estimated cost. Five of the state’s 13 other sheriffs who run jails — Franklin, Berkshire , Dukes, Essex and Worcester — also shared their applications with The Light. Together, the sheriffs have requested about $241 million, far more than the $125 million to $150 million the state expects to allocate through the program. Franklin, Dukes and Essex
