I have absolutely no way to find the monster who did this.”Chloe couldn’t put any weight on her front left leg, the pressure was too much on her fragile bones.

Banner night for Shrewsbury girls hockey

Published Tue, 11 Mar 2025 00:29:29 GMT

WESTBORO – On a night its players got to see their longtime banner at NorthStar Ice Sports formally unveiled with their first Div. 1 state championship on it, the Shrewsbury girls hockey team opened the season Thursday with very much of what it used to grind out the trophy last year.Freshman Allie Martel’s first career goal was the second of two for the Colonials (1-0) in the second period, eventually standing as the game-winner of a 2-1, comeback win over Billerica/Chelmsford (0-1) in MVC/DCL Large action.Both goals came in the dirty area, overcoming a sensational effort from Lindians goalie Hailey Graybeal (38 saves) while the Shrewsbury defense allowed just 10 shots on Risa Montoya despite a number of threatening moments.It was a typical result within one of the best leagues in the state, and much of what Shrewsbury head coach Frank Panarelli expected against B/C. But with former captains at the rink to pull the covering off the banner, it wasn’t exactly a typical game.“The first...

Published Tue, 11 Mar 2025 00:29:29 GMT

Finding ways to add starting pitching is only half the Red Sox battle this offseason.As was the case when spring training rolled around last year, they already have several starting pitching options in-house, technically more than a traditional five-man requires. But as evidenced by the last-place finish, which was heavily influenced by rotation problems, quantity is the bare minimum.The Red Sox need more quality.There were flashes of it in the rotation this year – Brayan Bello’s first half and Kutter Crawford’s second half – but little consistency. Starters must sustain success and others to take steps forward. If they can’t, reeling in a big fish via free agency or trade won’t be enough.Here’s where things stand for five key arms:Brayan BelloThis was Bello’s second year and first full season in the Majors, and calling it a mixed bag doesn’t do his campaign justice.He led the team with 28 starts and 157 innings, and was magnificent from late April until the All-Star break, po...
