Predicting the winner of each Week 10 High School football game in Central Mass.

Before the football season wraps up and the holidays arrive, I’d like to remind everyone that I am indeed NOT the Grinch. While I’m tasked with predicting high school football results each week , I’d like our local teams to actually win (contrary to popular belief). Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. But either way, we are here to cover you — win, lose or draw. Still, as I get greedy this time of year, I’d like to point out that I went 31-6 (!) last week amid the tricky proposition of picking playoff (and non-playoff) winners. How ‘bout them apples? So, as a reminder, while the Telegram & Gazette opens itself up to bulletin-board material , second guessing and verbal lashings, I handicap each high school football game — with no biases or bribes provided under the table — throughout the course of the 2026 season. With pencil in hand and the delete button on standby, here are my predictions for the Week 10 slate of the high school football games in the Central Mass. and Worcester this week. Last Week: 31-6 (21-3 in playoff games, 10-3 in non-playoff games) Season: 201-52 THURSDAY Haverhill at St. John’s, 6 p.m.

Gardner athletic director resigns. What we know | Exclusive

(This story has been updated with new information.) Gardner district athletic director Dan Forte has resigned unexpectedly from his position. Gardner High principal Michael Bartkus sent communication of Forte's resignation directly to families of Gardner students, which was then posted in a Gardner community Facebook group by a recipient of the email, but no further information on the situation was provided and the post has since been removed. Gardner superintendent Mark Pellegrino did not have any further statement when contacted via email by The Gardner News. Forte confirmed his resignation but did not provide any additional comments. Forte served as interim athletic director for Gardner for the 2017-18 winter and spring seasons before stepping into the role full-time for the following academic year. He began coaching the Gardner varsity boys soccer team in 2017 and has held that role since, bringing the team to back-to-back Final Four appearances in 2022 and 2023. Forte was also named the 2021 recipient of the Theodore "Ted" Damko Award by the MA Association of Athletic Directors, which is named for the late Leominster High athletic director. The award recognizes an athletic administrator for their contributions to their school and community within their first five

New School Building Update: Variety of Plans Released

In the conference room in the central office, a new building is being presented, and it’s the biggest thing for Triton yet.
