The Eagles Are Ready to Play the Marshfield Rams in the Season Opener

By: Jason Stellakis




After a tough loss to Central Catholic in the semifinals a year ago, the 2022 St. John’s Prep football team is ready to take on the coming season.


The Eagles will face the Marshfield Rams on Friday Night at 6:00PM at Cronin Memorial Stadium. This marks the second consecutive year where these two teams face-off in the first game of the season. 


Marshfield is also coming off a tough loss to Catholic Conference rival, Catholic Memorial, in the Division II semifinals last season. 


The Prep also named their captains: Jesse Ofurie, Mikey Nabbout, Carson Browne, and Cristhian Difo. Although the Prep lost numerous seniors, the Prep also gained more weapons, including star Georgia commit Joenel Aguero and Maryland commit Aidan Driscoll. 


The Prep narrowly defeated Marshfield in last season’s opener, 47-42, after the Prep took the lead with just five seconds remaining on a toe-tapper touchdown by Rutgers commit Jesse Ofurie. It was a great game by both ends, and it seems we are in for another treat this upcoming Friday.

Mikey Nabbout’s Return and The Prep’s Complete Game Leads to a Win VS Attleboro

By: Jason Stellakis DANVERS— On a warm night in November, the St. John’s Prep Football team defeated the Attleboro Bombardiers, 46-7. The Prep will move on to the next round of the playoffs and play Andover High School next Friday.  Similar to last week, the Prep’s offense dominated in the first half. Perhaps one of the highlights of the night was star wide receiver Jesse Ofurie’s 65 yard TD from quarterback Deacon Robillard.  Robillard, making only his third start of the season, threw for 3 TD in the first half alone. Touchdowns in the first half alone were scored by Jesse Ofurie (2), Cam LaGrassa (1), Steph Patrick (1), Carson Browne (1), Jack Fillion (1), and Santiago Quiceno (1). The Prep led Attleboro at the half, 46-0.  On the other side of the ball, saying the Prep’s defense was spectacular would be an understatement. The Prep did not allow a single first down from the Attleboro offense.  One of the biggest stories coming into the game was the return of defens...

Marcelo Mayer Holds the Future for the Red Sox

  MLB Pipeline released the 2023 list for top prospects , and Red Sox top prospect Marcelo Mayer ranks 9th overall. The poised superstar has the potential to become the league’s best shortstop once he reaches the major leagues.  In his 91 games played in 2022 combined in both Single-A Salem and High-A Greenville, Mayer slashed .280/.399/.489 with 13 HRs . The number four overall pick in 2021 has real potential But he is only a prospect, and all people can do is make assumptions to how he will pan out. With the departure of longtime SS Xander Bogaerts, it can be implied that the Red Sox are reliant on Mayer making the major leagues in just one or two seasons. Because Mayer has only played in Single A, he is most likely going to need two seasons in the minors before he gets a taste of the bigs. With this all being said, the Red Sox are taking a huge risk with Mayer. It is a good time to remember that top prospects do not always pan out. It happened in 1993 with the Yankees and p...
