Medway votes 167-92 to eliminate Flock license plate readers
Medway Town Meeting overwhelmingly voted Nov. 9 to ban automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) from town. However, it is not known when the Flock Safety cameras will be removed. Michael Fahey, head of a grassroots organization called “ DeFlock Medway ,” had worked on developing the citizen-sponsored article and was pleased about the vote.

Joseph Case football duo ready for Abington playoff showdown
SWANSEA — Two players who have made a difference in the Joseph Case football team 's resurgence this fall have been juniors Troy Medas and Cooper Watson. The two Cardinals defensive players have created havoc for opposing teams all season long. "What they both bring together, which I think bleeds into the rest of the defense, is they are just tough kids," first-year head coach Mike Cloutier said. "There's no backing down in them. When the game gets tough, they get tougher." The Swansea natives will be tested against No. 3 Abington in Thursday's Division 6 Round of 8 football matchup, beginning at 6 p.m. Watch MA high school football on NFHS The Green Wave (7-2) can certainly run with the football as proven in their opening day win over Longmeadow, tallying nearly 300 yards on the ground. Quarterback Jack Reilly is also accurate throwing the football and crafty in the pocket. Medas, a 6-2, 185-pound linebacker, and Watson, a 6-4, 210-pound defensive end use their size, speed and toughness to create real problems for offenses. They also work in tandem to attack the running and passing game. Both made huge plays in last week's upset over defending Division 6
