Cousins were 'fired up' as their QB sons squared off in Milton-Hingham playoff game
MILTON — With 29 different teams in the MIAA Division 3 field, there were a dizzying number of possible first-round playoff matchups when the high school football season kicked off back in September. Tim Merrigan and Greg Lane, first cousins who grew up together in Milton and who played football two years apart at Milton High in the 1980s, kept their fingers crossed. Eventually they hit the Dad Lottery.

"We were talking about it going back to the summer, how fun it would be," Tim Merrigan said. "We were speculating (on the chances of it happening) throughout the season because (the two teams) were kind of closing in on each other. And then when the brackets came out, we were fired up for it." "Tim and I are giddy," Greg Lane said in the

Somerset Berkley field hockey heads to the Division 2 Elite 8
SOMERSET — Last season, the Doherty field hockey team was no match for Somerset Berkley in their Sweet 16 match. On Monday, the No. 13 Highlanders decided to implore a different game plan against the No. 4 Raiders — a physical style of play — in their rematch. The only problem was when push came to shove, SBR kicked it into another gear After a scoreless, rough first period, the No. 4 Raiders dominated the rest of the way and came away with a 5-0 victory over Doherty in the Division 2 Sweet 16 game at Somerset Berkley Regional High School. With the victory, the Raiders (17-2-1) move on to the Elite 8 and will face the winner of either No. 5 Hingham or No. 12 Newburyport at a time and date to be determined this week.

QUINCY -- Even though it's been a while, Kyree LaPlanche vividly remembers the feeling of getting buckets in a crowded gym with fans cheering him on. It was a much more subdued atmosphere at South West Middle School on Wednesday night, Nov. 4. No applause reverberating off the walls here, just the squeak of sneakers on the hardwood, occasionally drowned out by head coach Jamall Griffin barking orders at his Quincy College men's basketball team. Still, the relative quiet was music to LaPlanche's ears. The former Holbrook High star has spent four years away from basketball, but now, at the ripe old age of 26, he's eagerly using up his one season of junior-college eligibility. "Man, it's so fun being out here and being able to compete with these guys," LaPlanche, a 5-foot-9 guard, said during a break in what was shaping up as a three-hour Granite practice on the eve of the 2026-27 season opener. "Just being able to have this opportunity means a lot to me. I don't take any of these moments for granted, especially going through the journey that I've been on. It's been a lot. I'm really grateful to be out here." LaPlanche graduated from
