Brighton High (5-6) upset Tri-County High in the Division 4 football playoffs yesterday. The Bengals defense was the key in their 8-6 win as they stuffed a Tri-County 2 point conversion with about 2 minutes left in the game. Brighton,which came into the game as huge underdogs will move on and play Northeast in the Division 4 Super Bowl this Saturday at Bentley College.

East Boston High Moves On To Playoffs!

The East Boston High School football team will face Bristol-Plymouth High at Taunton High School on Tuesday afternoon. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:15pm. Coming off a huge victory over Southie on Turkey Day,the Jets are led by wide receiver Brandon Campbell,a big play threat anytime he gets his hands on the ball.

Local Pop Warner Team Is Going To Disney World!

On a cold and drizzly morning,the Boston Raiders Junior Pee Wee team defeated the Danbury (Conn.) Trojans 19-0 and will represent New England in the National Pop Warner Championships in Orlando,Fla.. Despite the wet conditions, the Raiders,based in Dorchester,made big plays everytime they had to and kept their opponent off balance all game long. The 10am start and bad weather at Foley Field in Worcester didn't prevent Raider fans from coming out and cheering on the D-Team. It was great to see so much support for our children at a time when they needed it the most! Boston dominated the game and kept their poise while showing why they belong in the national title hunt. Sonofcodmansquare salutes the Boston Raiders and wish them all the best at Disney World!

East Boston,O'Bryant Win Big On Turkey Day!

O'Bryant High (8-2),with a huge interception late in the 4rth quarter by DB/QB Omari Alfred (#10 below) hung on to defeat Latin Academy 6-2 at English High. The latter played before an enormous and loud cheering crowd representing both sides, included a large contingent of Brighton High players & students. With the "O.B." win, the Bengals from Brighton are now in the playoffs. Sonofcodmansquare covered both games and will have more pics all weekend. Check back often and as always, TELL A FRIEND!
