Well today was fun. A 3-0 win over Brewster in just 5 innings after rain completed the game for Y-D in the CCBL East Div. 1 v 2 bout

How bout yesterday? A Déjà vu moment from a 4-0 win against Cotuit.

Definitely love sticking to journalistic content, except I’m bored. Big NEWMAC and Fortnite guy so…

Here’s every NEWMAC athletic program if they were fortnite locations.

@StanfordBSB’s two-way player Brock Ketelsen (@BrockKetelsen) is having a standout summer for @YD_RedSox. Got his first start Thursday night against Orleans after multiple relief outings, and dominated. Fun to watch live.

Ketelsen’s pitching stats so far: 11.2 IP, 16 K, 1.54 ERA

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

Here’s a story I wrote on Ketelsen back in June… Best of both worlds: How Brock Ketelsen has shown promise not only at the plate, but on the mound as well https://t.co/MQwhIRuhoc

Check it out. I also mentioned in my story that the Padres signed @andrew_wright44 who was on a tear with Y-D, and slated to be the East Division All-Star starting pitcher before getting scooped by San Diego. Super cool covering his time with Y-D.

My summer with Y-D is one of the best summers I’ve ever experienced. The @YD_RedSox are a league-best 19-3-1, and two former Y-D players were just drafted in the top 11 of the MLB Draft. Check out my piece on Drew Burress and Chris Hacopian!

Hoophall was a blast! I had 5 stories across 5 days, including laying out The Springfield Student edition newspaper. I’m proud of my stories on 5⭐️ Adan Diggs and 4⭐️ Joe Philon who were a pleasure talking to, but local hero Tahir Bey stole the show on Thursday night.

[Nick Pantages @nick_pantages22]

Another excellent year of coverage at the @HoophallClassic from our SC Student Media team. I am so proud of our 16 person staff that helped put out a total of 53 online articles, 28 TV stories, and 11 audio stories/podcasts.

Excited to see how the following classes carry it on!

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

@nick_pantages22 @HoophallClassic Nick is the 🐐 EIC! Great time working with him and the rest of the staff.

Adan Diggs, a standout sophomore for Millennium High School in Arizona, decided to stay in public school to "be a kid," instead of a basketball only prep school.

FINAL: Xaverian 41, SJP 35

Wild game, will have more @MassLiveHS

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

Q3: Xaverian 34, SJP 21

The Hawks are 12 minutes away from becoming the 1st team in MIAA Division I Football history to 3-peat.

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

HALF: Xaverian 27, SJP 7

Hawks quarterback Will Wood is on fire. More to come with @MassLiveHS

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

END Q1: Xaverian 14, St. John’s Prep 7

Christian McIntyre has been in a world of his own the past few weeks, and tonight seems no different.

The senior wideout for the Hawks has two touchdowns of 60+ yards already in the first 15 minutes of play.

[Sam MacGilpin @Sam_MacGilpin]

Live from Gillette Stadium- No. 1 St. John’s Prep faces No. 3 Xaverian in the MIAA Division I Super Bowl. The two teams faced each other last week on Thanksgiving, with Xaverian winning 21-18. Should be a good one in Foxborough.
