  1. Chris Foresberg,
    Hingham is matching the amount of fans Winchester has for this game.
    Get ready to see a Blackout vs. Red Army match-up.

    This will be the BEST super 8 game of the year, very tight match-up.
    Tsongas arena is gonna be SHAKING baby

    HEY RED!!!

  1. The disallowed goal in the shootout is robbery at its best. I watched that video over and over....the Central kid made a legitmate move on the goalie. He dug his blades in and reversed his shot...the goalie could not do the same. It was a planned move and it so very unfortunate that the officials called that off. If a team is going to win or lose, it should be on the ice and not because of a reversed call by the officials. I believe that was a crime.

  1. The rule is the puck has to continue its forward motion and can not stop, it is clear that the puck does just that, this kid made a great move, the goalie overplayed it and left the net wide open, this game was decided by the ref not the players, if this were a regular season game not a big deal, but at this level the ref should be reprimanded and removed from the tournament. I wouldn't feel very good about the victory if I were CM

Look for updates from:

  • Bob Holmes: A Reading resident (Go Rockets!) and Boston College graduate, Holmes is the Boston Globe High School Sports Editor. We remind you now that his weekly picks are often made in jest so everyone just calm down when he picks against Everett for 11 straight weeks.
  • Mike Carraggi: An Everett native (Go Tide!), Mike attends Eastern Nazarene college and is entering his second year with the Globe. He'll focus on Division 1 this fall, which means he'll spend a lot of time in his hometown, which Forsberg thinks is cool because the Tide have that Fried Dough cart.
  • Emily Wright: A Hyannis native (Go Barnstable Red Raiders!), Emily is a senior at Emerson College and has been with the Globe since the end of July. She'll cover Division 1A and will be the first intern we've trusted to navigate her way to Dennis-Yarmouth or any other school on the Cape.
  • Mike Grossi: A Lexington native (Go Minutemen!), Mike attends Northeastern and has been with the Globe for two months. He'll cover Division 2 and 2A and unsuccessfully lobbied to include Lexington in the preseason Top 20.
  • Jonathan Raymond: A native of Benicia, Calif. (a suburb of San Francisco), Jonathan attends Northeastern and has been working at the Globe since the end of June. He will be focusing on Division 3 and is likely woefully underprepared for covering a game in a foot of snow.
  • David Carty: A native of West Bridgewater (Go Wildcats!), David is a senior at Emerson College and has been working at the Globe for a year. He'll cover Divisions 3A and 4 because, "small school ball is in my blood."
  • The bench: You'll also catch updates from our regional contributors, including Globe North's Julian Benbow and South's Monique Walker. Correspondent Brendan Hall will have updates from the Globe West coverage area and will often try to sneak in Central Mass. news.
