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.
