Because of low participation numbers, Burke has forfeited today’s game with Boston English. It will be credited as a win for English, which went 0-11 last fall.

It wasn’t the only news of the day for English, which also learned that former Natick coach Tom Lamb has been hired as an assistant coach. Lamb coached for 38 years, most at Natick High, and finished with 248 career wins. He retired as Natick football coach in December of 2009.

Two city football games were moved because of playing conditions. East Boston's game with Blue Hills was moved to the artificial turf at East Boston. And the North Quincy vs. Boston Latin game was moved to Madison Park.
