Old Rochester football risks it all to beat Hudson in thriller

HUDSON — It was all or nothing for the Old Rochester football team . In overtime of the Division 6 state quarterfinal, the No. 7 Bulldogs trailed second-seeded Hudson by a point when Old Rochester’s players made the decision to go for two and the win instead of settle for the tie. “The kids said, ‘Coach let’s go for the win,’” said Old Rochester head coach Bryce Guilbeault. “I said, ‘Let’s do it.’” Senior Matt Tobin bullied his way into the end zone for two points to lift the Bulldogs to a thrilling 22-21 upset win over the previously undefeated Hawks on Thursday, Nov. 12. “I’m happy for Matt,” Guilbeault said. “He’s been overlooked all year. He’s done some great things and he’s a selfless guy. He’ll do whatever it takes for the team to win.” Week 10: SouthCoast High School Football scores and highlights Preview: Breaking down every Week 10 SouthCoast non-playoff football game Old Rochester’s victory avenged last year’s loss to Hudson in the same round and earned the Bulldogs their second trip to the Final Four in the past three years. “It’s awesome,” Guilbeault said. “Last year we were young and we were inexperienced.

National Grid offers Fall River homes free home battery systems

National Grid is launching a pilot program that will provide no-cost home battery systems to as many as 125 income-eligible households in the Fall River area. The BackupBattery+ program will offer systems with up to 45 kWh of battery storage, according to a community announcement. The batteries can provide at least four hours of backup power during outages while also helping reduce demand on the local electric grid when electricity use is high. National Grid is partnering with Haven Energy and Citizens for Citizens on outreach to eligible residents. The pilot is designed to test whether coordinated residential batteries can address local grid needs while expanding access to technology that can carry significant upfront costs. “BackupBattery+ will deliver a direct benefit to Fall River area customers, providing no-cost access to backup power and battery storage technologies that have traditionally been out of reach for many households,” said Steve Caldwell, vice president of Energy Efficiency and Clean Programs at National Grid. “This pilot will also help us test how coordinated home batteries can address local grid needs and learn whether this model can deliver meaningful value for participating households, the local community, and the broader electric system.” How the home battery

'Despicable.' Taunton City Council OKs budget after heated lawyer fight

After a heated debate, Taunton city councilors voted 7-1 to approve the supplemental budget they rejected two weeks ago, without any changes and without a budget line item specifically for an attorney for the City Council. Previously, the Council voted 5-4 to reject the supplemental budget because it did not contain funding for an attorney specifically for the City Council . The supplemental budget contains funding for firefighters, funds the pension of a city employee serving in the military, and also adds $481,000 to the city's reserve account where it can be used in the event of an economic downturn or other financial challenge. At the most recent Tuesday, Nov. 10, council meeting, Chief Financial Officer Patrick Dello Russo said that hypothetically, money was available for the council to hire their own attorney. But he said that he would not make the money available until the Council came to an agreement with City Solicitor Matt Costa about the role of such an attorney. Costa, for his part, said that he had "legal concerns" but that he was "open to having the discussion." Ultimately, City Councilor Debra Botellio said that "we need to pass this for the sake of the people
