Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:48:34 GMT

BROOKLINE – Notch another significant Bay State Conference win onto Natick’s belt.Despite a scrappy display from No. 13 Brookline (5-3) to challenge early in each set Thursday afternoon, the No. 2 RedHawks (5-1) used heightened discipline to close out every frame en route to a 3-0 (25-14, 25-15, 25-22) sweep over a notable fellow conference power. Their 6-2 system worked wonders once again, with setters Harrison Landry (21 assists) and Branch Barnes (15 assists, 10 kills) finding the right hitting options to never trail in a set.Much of that came when it mattered most, as an 8-2 run over the final 10 points of the first sealed the 1-0 match lead, an 11-2 run late in the second provided critical separation to go up 2-0, and a 5-1 run at the end of the third sealed the victory.Natick now has wins over the Warriors and No. 3 Newton North, hoping to keep pace with No. 1 Needham despite falling to the two-time defending state champions in a competitive affair before April vacation.“We sn...

Mike Preston: Lamar Jackson got his deal. Now it’s time to mend relationships and shape his Ravens legacy. | COMMENTARY

But that’s all behind everyone now, and so is Jackson’s request for a trade and a fully guaranteed deal.The hardest jobs belong to Ravens coach John Harbaugh, who has to develop chemistry and create some harmony in the locker room again after a drama-filled saga, and to Jackson, who has become one...
