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.

Cord left Cape Cod coyote unable to move. Wildlife vets have questions

A Cape Cod coyote is showing signs of recovery after rescuers found a cord wound tightly around its neck, leaving the animal temporarily unable to move his legs and raising fears of a serious spinal injury. The eastern coyote was brought to the Cape Wildlife Center in Barnstable around midday on Nov. 9 after staff from the Yarmouth Division of Natural Resources rescued him. According to the department, a resident had noticed the animal in distress and reported it. "When he came in, he could not move any of his limbs at all," said Dr. Priya Patel, a veterinarian at Cape Wildlife Center . "He basically was just lying on the ground. He was aware.

The cord was so tightly wrapped around his neck that it could not be seen under the fur, and it was "constricting so much of the soft tissue," she said. While spinal damage was the first concern, the team noted extensive swelling around the coyote's neck and hoped some of the neurological
