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. The two Cardinals defensive players have created havoc for opposing teams all season long. "What they both bring together, which I think bleeds into the rest of the defense, is they are just tough kids," first-year head coach Mike Cloutier said. "There's no backing down in them. 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

Pilgrims and Puritans: Who really shaped Thanksgiving?

Wondering the difference between Pilgrims and Puritans? Many New Englanders know the story of the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth , but with both the Pilgrims and Puritans establishing colonies in Massachusetts, it can be easy to mix up which group the holiday originated with. Here's what to know about the key differences between the Pilgrims and the Puritans. Puritans vs. Pilgrims After King Henry VIII declared himself head of the new Church of England in 1534, the Puritans emerged as a group of people who wanted to return to practicing religion in the way early Christians did. The Puritans believed in reforming, or "purifying," the Church of England from within, says the Plimoth Pawtuxet Museum . The Pilgrims emerged from a more radical group known as Separatists, who believed in forming new, separate church congregations outside of the Church of England. The Separatist church congregation that came to be known as the Pilgrims was from the town of Scrooby in Nottinghamshire, England. More: The first Thanksgiving was held in Massachusetts. Here's where Where did the Pilgrims settle? After a dozen years spent in the Netherlands for religious freedom, the Separatists decided to journey to the New World, planning to settle

Back from injury, D-R girls soccer's Cassidy Hasenfratz was electric

Cassidy Hasenfratz’s promising high school soccer career was nearly halted only a month into it. In October 2025 during a South Coast Conference match against rival Seekonk, the then-freshman forward broke her leg in three places through her growth plate, an injury that was not only season-ending, but involved over eight months of recovery before doctors finally cleared her to play this past June. "From the day I got injured, it was devastating because soccer has been a part of my life since I could walk and talk," Hasenfratz, a Rehoboth resident who was born in Switzerland to a Swiss father, Cédric, and an American mother, Kristen. "When you get injured like that, and have such a passion for the sport, you make it your first priority (to get back) and you have to have the passion and determination to keep going and move past the setback." Unable to bend her knee for four months or her ankle for another three, Hasenfratz was grateful for every physical therapy session and chance to get back on the ball, as each step brought her closer and closer to a return to the pitch. It's safe to say that return was a resounding

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.

Old Rochester eyes 'revenge' against Hudson in Div. 6 playoffs

The ‘Revenge Tour’ continues for the Old Rochester football team as the No. 7 Bulldogs (8-1) will take on second-seeded Hudson (9-0) in the MIAA Div. 6 state quarterfinals at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12. The Hawks knocked Old Rochester out of the tournament last year with a 34-7 win. In 2025, Old Rochester lost its first four games before making a run to qualify for the playoffs and reach the Elite 8. This year, the Bulldogs went 7-1 during the regular season and have beaten three teams they lost to a year ago. Hudson could be the fourth. “Last year when we played them, they were better than us,” said Old Rochester head coach Bryce Guilbeault of the Hawks. “I told the kids that yesterday. They were better than us, but we’re a year older, a year more experienced and we’ve gotten better every week. We’re excited.” Junior Benji Baptiste has been impressive this fall for Old Rochester with more than 1,600 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns, which ranks second on the SouthCoast. The Hawks counter with senior quarterback Logan Dome and senior running back JT Torres. “Their quarterback is really good,” Guilbeault said. “He is their guy.”
