'Dominant' 6-foot-6 senior paces Marshfield football's mighty run game

MARSHFIELD — Through an often-open hatch in the roof, a fierce downpour muddied the press box's tile floor and exposed the scoreboard operators to the outside. The Marshfield High football team's platoon of running backs, meanwhile, kept dry and upright behind the 6-6, 296-pound human shield of Aidan Nicholson. The senior right tackle helped the Rams churn out over 100 yards of ground-game offense in a 44-0 victory over Silver Lake in the opening round of the Division 3 state tournament on Friday, Nov. 6. Junior running back Jack Giannetti blasted in for 3 touchdown runs. No. 3 Marshfield will host No. 6 North Attleboro in the Elite Eight next (date/time TBD). "He's a dominant offensive linemen," head coach Chris Arouca said of Nicholson. "We can't run behind him enough sometimes. The other guys are all good, too, but when he gets on his blocks and the running backs follow him, it's tough to stop." Nicholson, a three-year starter, began playing in second grade and first informally practiced with the Arouca's varsity Rams as an eighth-grader ineligible to play in his age bracket due to his size. Nicholson, who is still fielding collegiate offers, had three older brothers (Will, Tyler

Toll Gate High School Educators Shaping Our Tomorrow

It takes a special kind of magic to bring 100% energy to a room full of tired teenagers on a rainy Tuesday morning. I was in Mr. Sollitto’s American Democracy class last period. It was the beginning of class and he was again…running through his introduction-which if you had him you would know it’s him introducing himself and what the class is. Every. Single. Day.

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.

Rockland football brackets halftime with big plays in blowout playoff win

ROCKLAND -- Momentum can be fleeting in the playoffs. The Rockland High football team had it in spades in the first quarter on Thursday, Nov. 5, grabbing a two-score lead and threatening to turn its Division 7 first-round playoff matchup against South Hadley into a quick knockout. But a turnover and a dropped third-down pass that could have gone for score blunted the Bulldogs' push. The underdog Tigers were hanging around late in the second quarter and threatening to narrow the deficit. So Rockland simply grabbed the momentum back with both hands and never let it go again. More: South Shore high school football playoff scores and top performers More: First-year starter is 'a huge energy-shifter' for Scituate football Marvelous Pleasant rushed for 134 yards and three touchdowns, and the Bulldogs bracketed halftime with a pair of scores to blow open a tight game and roll to a 41-0 win.
