Aedan Borges wills Case football to upset over champ Fairhaven in MIAA playoffs

FAIRHAVEN — After losing a thriller at Alumni Field last month, first-year head coach Mike Cloutier and the No. 11 Joseph Case football team wanted another shot against defending Division 6 Super Bowl champion Fairhaven. What transpired in Thursday's Division 6 Round of 16 playoff game was nearly a replica of the first contest as both teams went blow for blow. This time it was the Cardinals who managed to pull out an upset win over the Blue Devils. Aedan Borges scored six touchdowns, including the eventual game-winner on a fumble recovery for a score midway through the fourth quarter to lift Case to an incredible 42-37 victory over No. 6 Fairhaven. Watch MA high school football on NFHS With the win, the Cardinals (7-2) move on the Elite 8 for the first time in school history and snapped the Blue Devils' 15-game unbeaten win streak that dated back to last season. Case won its first playoff game since 1992, snapping a 34-year drought. "I could not be more proud of this team, Borges and the fight from everybody," Cloutier said.

Fall River's Factory of Terror to host adults-only haunted experience

Factory of Terror is bringing its scares back after Halloween with UNHINGED, an adults-only haunted experience in downtown Fall River on Nov. 13 and 14. The two-night event will feature darker scenes, adult themes and a more intense experience than the attraction's regular season allows, according to a community announcement. UNHINGED takes place inside Factory of Terror's more than 125-year-old historic building at 120 Pearl St. Guests enter during timed arrival windows, from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Nov. 13 and 6 to 10 p.m. Nov. 14. “It’s a haunted house experience we’re building just for adults that will be more interactive. It’ll be darker, more intense,” said Mike Quill, owner of Factory of Terror. “It’ll cover subject matter that we don’t usually cover because it’s not appropriate for all audiences.” Quill also offered a warning for potential guests: “If you get offended by things, please don’t come. This won’t be for you.” What tickets cost and who can attend UNHINGED is limited to guests 18 and older. A valid government-issued photo ID is required at the door with no exceptions. General admission costs $45, plus taxes and fees. VIP admission costs $70, plus taxes and fees, and includes expedited entry

SouthCoast honoring those who served at these 2026 Veterans Day events

Veterans Day is just around the corner, and communities across the SouthCoast are coming together to thank the neighbors, friends and family members who have served in the Armed Forces. A veteran is defined as “a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable.” U.S. veterans make up less than 6.1% of the total adult population, with about 15.8 million veterans living in the U.S. Originally called Armistice Day , Veterans Day became a legal holiday on May 13, 1938, to be observed each year on Nov. 11. The holiday traces its roots to World War I, the “war to end all wars,” which ended with an armistice signed in Europe on Nov. 11, 1918. Today, it’s a chance to say thank you to the members of our community who have served, and to those who are serving now. Looking for a way to show your gratitude? Here’s a list of events across the SouthCoast where you can mark Veterans Day and celebrate the veterans in your hometown. Acushnet Veterans Day Parade: Nov. 8, 10 a.m. Come cheer on Acushnet’s veterans at the town’s Veterans
