Over the last few years when we played (in the postseason), then Wilmington and North Andover this year in Division 2A, there were three leagues from the South and the Cape Ann League, and only one from the North. It would be nice to see the CAL and NEC go at it in the playoffs. I'm sure they'll be playing it locally and it will get a great crowd.

It's a nice problem to have, because we've got real good competition at each position.

If you're running a convenience store or maybe even a small manufacturing facility, you may be employing a lot of young people in high school who don't need all of the coverage mandated by the state. Different businesses have different needs. We hope there can be a move away from this one-size-fits-all health coverage.

You could sense that, even though he was a lowly freshman like the rest of us, he had something special that you knew would take him to rare places. He's always the smartest guy in the room.
