OUTLOOK

Many felt Gloucester was the best team in EMass last year, regardless of division. The same can be said of Duxbury this fall. Don't tell Xaverian and Marshfield that the Green Dragons are a Division 2A team. When Duxbury's offense is on the field, keep an eye on quarterback Sean Cross, owner of numerous school passing records.

PREDICTION

Do away with these bowls and let's have an NCAA-style Final Four of Duxbury, BC High, Dracut, and Walpole. I'll take Duxbury.
