The Eagles Special Teams Contribues to Defeat St. John’s Shrewsbury on a Frigid Night


By: Jason Stellakis

SHREWSBURY— In the final game of the regular season for both teams, the St. John’s Prep Eagles Football team beat the St. John’s High School Pioneers, 48-12. The Prep ends the regular season 6-2. 

Along with a superb offense and defense, the special teams had undoubtedly their best performance of the season. Joenel Aguero and Steph Patrick scored 3 TD on special teams alone. 


Aguero scored 3 TD total, one on offense from a pass by quarterback Deacon Robillard. 


The Prep scored 7 TD all game, including touchdowns from Joenel Aguero (3), Carson Browne (1), Jack Fillion (1), Steph Patrick (1) and Mason McSweeny (1). All of the touchdowns were scored in the first half alone. 


With round one of the playoffs on the horizon, the Prep tremendously improved from a week ago, where they scored only 13 first half points. 


Along with a good offense, the defense returned to form, only allowing a deep 81-yard touchdown. Other than that the Prep defense did a great job holding down the Pioneers offense. 


With the formation of the playoff bracket coming soon, the Prep will host round one of the playoffs next Friday at Glatz Field at Cronin Memorial Stadium. The opponent and time are TBD.

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...
