Gloucester natives helping Pingree to most successful season in school history

The Pingree School football team has gotten used to winning in their short existence as a program. The program has seen a steady increase in wins each year since the program began in 2005 and this year, they just finished off their best season in school history. At 7-1, good for first place in the Evergreen League's Northeast Division, the Highlanders were selected to play in the Clark/Francis Bowl tomorrow afternoon at Endicott College (1:30 p.m.). Pingree is the only team from the Evergreen League to qualify for the Bowl, which features the top New England Prep School Athletic Conference Schools and even a few schools from New York. Pingree will face off against Brooks Academy of North Andover in the Class C game. Brooks also comes into the game with a 7-1 record.....more>>

Rogers and Ryan ready for tough All-State course

They saved the toughest race for the biggest stage. Tomorrow's All-State cross country meet in Northfield Mass. (12 p.m.) not only pits the top cross country teams and individuals in the state, it features several steep climbs as the course is in the middle of the Berkshire Mountains. Fortunately, Gloucester's Caulin Rogers and Andrew Ryan are used to running up hill. Rogers and Ryan, who finished 12th and 17th respectively at last week's division 2 meet at Franklin Park in Boston, have been running at Ravenswood Park where Gloucester has their home meets. Bradley Palmer Park, where the Northeastern Conference meet is held, is also known for its hills. more>>
