Shrewsbury - Having been snake bitten in each of the past two seasons with one-goal playoff losses - including a painful overtime shootout to eventual state-finalist Algonquin Regional High School in 2016 - there was overt determination that no allowance of a ‘three-peat’ would occur for the top-seed Shrewsbury High School hockey team. The undefeated and spirited Colonials took to the ice at Fitchburg’s jam-packed Wallace Civic Center March 12 looking to reverse their recent playoff misfortunes and did just that quite handily with a 4-1 victory over second-seed Wachusett Regional High School in the Central Mass. Division 3 Tournament. Shrewsbury (21-0-1) moved on to face Western champion Westfield High School (17-5) March 15 at Springfield’s MassMutual Center in a state semifinal.

Hudson - John Devereaux logs his daily runs in notebooks which he keeps in his Hudson home. Those notebooks, some almost a decade old, now form a large collection chronicling over 3,500 runs through Hudson. The 51-year-old has been running at least one mile per day every day since Jan. 1, 2008. His feat, known as a “run streak,” is controversial among runners, some of whom fear its health effects.

What are your earliest football-related memories? “In middle school, my friends convinced me to play football, and I eventually earned a starting spot at quarterback. I remember being very nervous for my first game, but once the game got going, I felt very comfortable and confident.
