Joseph Case football duo ready for Abington playoff showdown

SWANSEA — Two players who have made a difference in the Joseph Case football team 's resurgence this fall have been juniors Troy Medas and Cooper Watson.

When the game gets tough, they get tougher." The Swansea natives will be tested against No. 3 Abington in Thursday's Division 6 Round of 8 football matchup, beginning at 6 p.m. Watch MA high school football on NFHS The Green Wave (7-2) can certainly run with the football as proven in their opening day win over Longmeadow, tallying nearly 300 yards on the ground. Quarterback Jack Reilly is also accurate throwing the football and crafty in the pocket. Medas, a 6-2, 185-pound linebacker, and Watson, a 6-4, 210-pound defensive end use their size, speed and toughness to create real problems for offenses. They also work in tandem to attack the running and passing game. Both made huge plays in last week's upset over defending Division 6

“It’s a dream come true,” said dad and maintenance technician Marcel Riley. On Nov. 10, the Fall River City Council approved spending $1,010,000 to build Mae’s Playground, a sensory-friendly playground planned for Abbott Court Playground Park. It will be paid for by a combination of grants, private fundraising and local community preservation funds. Riley has led the campaign to build it for over a year. “Finally, I feel like we’re there, fund-wise,” Riley said. Most importantly, the project received a $425,000 PARC grant from the state’s Division of Conservation Services, announced on Oct. 7. It’s the maximum amount applicants can receive. Statewide, fifteen other projects received the grants this year.
