LINCOLN â Lincoln High head coach Mike Ethier and his troops had hoped to derail the express that is Smithfield in a Division III âBattle of Unbeatensâ at Tiberii Field on Thursday afternoon.
Despite the fact that the Sentinels had entered the contest as the two-time defending D-III champion and had posted 36 consecutive league wins dating back to 2011, Ethier believed his Lions had the wherewithal to pull off what â at least this season â would be only a mild upset.

CUMBERLAND â Thereâs no place like home. And for Cumberland, which played eight of its first nine games of the season (two of them non-league contests in Massachusetts and one an Injury Fund non-leaguer) on the road, Wednesday afternoonâs Division I showdown against La Salle in the friendly confines of Tucker Field was certainly a welcomed breath of fresh air.
A portentous email from an accomplished and revered pro football broadcaster was the first blossoming of the good things to come for Bob Socci.
Now that Socci is officially the lead play-by-play radio announcer for the New England Patriots, the veteran sportscaster and current radio voice of the Pawtucket Red Sox can look back with fondness at the message of hope Gil Santos delivered a few years back.
