Court ruling ends Boston high school football team’s playoff hopes after clerical error
Earlier in the week it was announced a Massachusetts high school football program would miss the postseason due a clerical error regarding its schedule. Days later, that ruling was upheld despite an injunction filed by Boston Public Schools. The Boston Globe reported Friday, Nov. 6, that the injunction filed to allow Boston English/New Mission into the postseason was denied by Suffolk Superior Court Judge Gillian Feiner . English's game against O'Bryant (MA) on Oct. 30 was the game in question as no one from Boston Public Schools submitted it on the scheduling platform the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) uses with its Sept. 18 deadline. Because of that, the game was counted as a scrimmage and not a regular season game. Boston Public Schools argued the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association did not correctly apply its own rule, MIAA rule 34.6 , and game against Bryant should have been counted as a forfeit. The Bulldogs finished the season 4-2 and did not meet the seven games needed to qualify for the postseason.

North Quincy football falls at home to Winchester in MIAA playoffs
QUINCY -- The North Quincy football will have to wait another fall before it can again attempt to end its 34-year playoff win drought. For the second year in a row, Winchester (7-2) defeated North Quincy (6-3) in the first round of the MIAA Division 2 state tournament on Friday, Nov. 6. In a downpour, Winchester won 40-29 at Veterans Memorial Field in Quincy. This time, it was done in "upset" fashion as Winchester won on the road as the No. 12 seed over the No. 5 Raiders. Despite the seven-seed difference, it's hardly an upset. Winchester improved to a perfect 4-0 in the all-time series over North Quincy. This year's playoff battle included a fresh face in first-year starting quarterback Peter Alexopoulos, who together with running back Dominic Vozzella combined for more than 400 rushing yards and all five touchdowns. "We couldn't stop the run," said North Quincy head coach Greg Sommers. "They played tough. They came out, changed some things up, started running the ball up the middle and we couldn't answer." Winchester trailed at halftime after North Quincy took a 21-16 lead late in the second quarter. Quarterback Cole Doyle connected with receiver Connor Lynch for a
