Hudson's unbeaten season ends with heartbreaking playoff loss in OT

HUDSON — As Zac Attaway and Andrew Oliveira left the Morgan Bowl for the last time this fall on Thursday night, the Hudson High football coach and his injured senior captain embraced. While rain fell down on the pair of Hawks, so did tears from their cheeks following their team’s 22-21 overtime loss to Old Rochester in a Division 6 state quarterfinal. “He’s been a father figure to me in my life,” said Oliveira, who missed the entire 2026 season recovering from a torn ACL and meniscus in his left knee. “But that hug on the field with Coach Attaway is just my last time ever being in the Bowl, and that guy has done tremendous things for me.” “I’m just so proud of him,” Attaway said. Postgame tears told the story for the Hawks Thursday. A wild finish While No. 2 Hudson aspired to make its fourth straight Division 6 Final Four appearance , seventh-seeded Old Rochester had other plans. After a scoreless first half, where both teams traded seven punts and three turnovers/turnover on downs, the action started to heat up in the second half during a rematch of last year’s Div. 6 state quarterfinal.

"I mean, if he makes the extra point, we're still here. Bottom line was execution. First things first, we talked about it all week that extra points and field goals were like a play that we need to execute. So it's just like an offensive play for us. We felt like we had something where we could get a block, and obviously our guy made a play." Winthrop struck first with

Harvard won’t protect students from protesters disrupting their exams

Members of the Harvard Graduate Students Union–United Auto Workers (HGSU-UAW) are on strike at Harvard University, and the Harvard Crimson’s account of what happened outside Emerson Hall on Oct. 29 raises a far too familiar question about Harvard’s leadership: Why is protecting students’ education still treated as a matter of competing rights?

Professor Won’t Shut Up About Stupid Baby

Beloved political science Professor Pat Ernity made his grand return from family leave this week. But according to students, he’s far from business as usual. Office hours attendee Kate Hids claims that instead of rounding her 73 to a 95, Prof Ernity yapped about his new baby for 30 minutes. “I couldn’t get a word in! He was all, ‘he’s growing so fast, he sleeps so well, blah blah blah.’ If I wanted to hear about some random kid, I’d watch ‘Toddlers and Tiaras.’” Colleagues have noticed a change as well. Professor Madison Washington reports that the political stickers on Professor Ernity’s door like “Believe Women,” “Justice for Contingents,” and “OJ Did It” have been covered up by photos of the aforementioned stupid baby. Instead of Bobby Kennedy (the first one) campaign posters and MLK quotes, the office walls were plastered with pictures of the same ugly baby from the door. Professor Washington also says that faculty meetings have doubled in length since Professor Ernity has discovered how to show baby photos on the projector. “There are only so many times I can pretend to care,” says Professor Washington. According to Professor Ernity’s advisee George J. H. W. Bush, thesis meetings aren’t going any smoother. “All he talks about is this stupid baby. He’s acting like he’s the one that gave birth. What is he, a seahorse?”
