Apple picking season fades fast in Massachusetts, but the cider donut craving does not. Plenty of farm stands slow down after Columbus Day, yet a handful of orchards keep their bakeries and farm stores running long after the last tree gets picked. These six spots stretch from the North Shore...

Holy Cross Really In Jacksonville, Florida

JACKSONVILLE, FL—It was revealed on Monday, Nov. 2 that College of the Holy Cross, the college that should be located in Worcester, MA, is actually set in Jacksonville, FL. This news has disturbed many students of the college, as they had believed that they have been studying “just outside of Boston” this whole time. It turns out that College of the Holy Cross is such a contained environment that no one realized where they were. In, like, 1950 someone asked and heard Worcester. They ran with it.

HC Accounting Department Confirmed Fake

WORCESTER, MA— Confirming a suspicion already held by a majority of students, President Vincent Rougeau announced on Friday that the entire accounting department at College of the Holy Cross is indeed fake. “It’s true–the major exists entirely to drive students towards programs like English and Political Science, disciplines that actually have professors and courses here,” said Rougeau, adding that he was impressed the college administration had managed to keep up the ruse for several decades since the major’s “introduction” in 1987. “We’ve been extremely successful in this endeavor,” reported Rougeau, “96.4% of students who initially declare an accounting major switch to something in the humanities within six months. We’re still working hard to get that figure up to 100%.” Rougeau then went on to explain how if students attempt to enroll in upper-level accounting courses like ACCT 275 – Corporate Finance or ACCT 382 – Auditing, they will simply receive an error notice of Iggy the Crusader wearing a construction hat saying “Whoops! The course you are trying to take is completely fictional!” on STAR. “These courses only exist in the digital realm to give the impression of a department,” continued Rougeau. “Of course, we do have to offer intro-level courses for those naive freshmen set on being accountants, but we try our best to make those classes as mundane and mind-numbing as humanly possible so that any reasonable person would switch into something more interesting like psychology or philosophy, lest they go insane.” At the end of the press conference, Rougeau assured the audience that the College was doing everything in its power to track down and detain Bill McKay ’98, the only student to ever successfully graduate with an accounting degree.

'This was our ultimate goal' | Oakmont makes playoffs under Bosselait

BILLERICA — Though Oakmont football's season ended with a 39-0 loss against defending D5 state champion, top-seeded Shawsheen Valley Tech, the No. 16 Spartans reached their major goal of the season — getting to the tournament. Last year, Oakmont struggled with injuries in the back half of the season and couldn't figure out their game quick enough before it was too late, finishing the season 3-8. This season, the Spartans faced similar injury issues but were able to overcome the obstacles and take on a whole new offense with starting quarterback junior Dylan Taylor sidelined. It was quite the journey for Oakmont, and they won two big games in the new formation with sophomore Ozzy Quiles taking over at QB running the triple option. It came down to the wire, as Oakmont teetered at the edge of the qualifying spot, finally solidifying its place as the 16 seed. "This was our ultimate goal. Our goal first and foremost was to get into the playoffs, and from there, anything could happen," Oakmont coach Colton Bosselait said. "Things didn't go our way, but tonight our kids competed." A key late this season was Adam McDermott returning from injury. His leadership earned him

Live updates as Gardner-area football teams begin the MIAA playoffs

The best high school football teams in the state are gearing up to take on their first playoff opponents this week. Two Gardner-area teams are part of that group, both fighting as the 16 seed in their divisions.
