Villanova bounces back from Notre Dame loss to throttle Holy Cross

Devin Royal scored 22 points and Luigi Suigo posted a double-double as Villanova rolled to a 95-66 home victory over Holy Cross on Friday. Suigo scored 16 points on 8-of-9 shooting while adding 15 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals for Villanova (1-1), which recovered nicely from last weekend's loss in Rome against Notre Dame. Jake Fiegen added 15 points on 5-of-6 3-point shooting for the Wildcats. Tristen Wilson scored 17 points to pace Holy Cross (0-2), which only shot 33.9% from the field and 31.8% from beyond the arc. Chuck Hare chipped in with 10 points and nine rebounds for the visitors. Villanova led 7-6 about four minutes into the game before the hosts uncorked a 17-3 run over the next five-plus minutes. Suigo scored the first four points of the burst before finding Royal for a dunk. Fiegen and Adam Oumiddoch each made a 3-pointer shortly thereafter, and Darryl Simmons II capped the run with a triple of his own to make it 24-9 with 10:45 left in the half. Holy Cross missed nine of its first 12 shots and shot just 33.3% (10-of-30) in the first half. The Crusaders did not make consecutive shots from

Flock cameras reveal new capabilities after contract is signed | Letter

Re: “ Some Mass. towns ditch Flock cameras while others defend their use ” (Norman Miller, MetroWest Daily News, Oct. 28, 2026) The most striking fact in your Oct. 28 reporting is not that some towns kept the cameras and others dropped them. It is that several police chiefs who once praised Flock Safety’s automated license plate readers later reversed course—once they learned the system could search far more than plates. That detail, carried by the MetroWest Daily News, reveals the real problem: communities are buying a black box whose capabilities expand after the contract is signed. Framingham let its contract expire. Hopkinton terminated for procurement defects. Bellingham’s chief cited undisclosed search functions. Milford’s chief—an ACLU member—will not renew. These are not abstract privacy activists. They are the officials responsible for public safety who concluded the technology had outrun the consent they originally gave. Meanwhile, Medway voters face a Nov. 9 Town Meeting article to ban the devices after a citizen petition gathered more than 400 signatures. The deeper issue is not whether ALPRs sometimes solve crimes. It is whether a private company should be allowed to turn every public street into a searchable database whose full powers are disclosed
