Brian O'Reilly stood on the sideline Friday night moments after his Pinkerton Academy football team had lost to Salem and stated what he thought of his defense's performance.

There was only one real reason why Sam Raitt was throwing the football to the receivers he was throwing it to. The Bishop Guertin High School quarterback was just throwing to the open guy. "It was our progressions on some of those plays," Raitt said of how he picked his targets during Friday's 41-28

It wasn't time to panic for the Bedford High School football team. Down 21-3 at the end of the first quarter in Saturday's Division I quarterfinal against Bishop Guertin, there was still plenty of time for the Bulldogs to go to their running game to close the gap, and that's what they did.

The night before Halloween, and the Pinkerton Academy football team was just under three minutes away from seeing its season suffer an unexpected death. Somehow, the Astros rose from the ashes, coming back from the edge of the abyss to live to fight another day. An Exeter fumble with 2:56 to play ga

The Merrimack High School football team heads into the final week of the regular season alive for a postseason berth. Quite a few things have to happen for the Tomahawks to make the playoffs - a rare occurrence in the last 20-plus years - but even if Merrimack misses out, the 2015 should still be vi
