Aidan Holland’s Two Goals and his team’s complete Game Contribute to Victory Against Masco

By: Jason Stellakis

MIDDLETON—The St. John’s Prep Eagles hockey team dominated the Masconomet Chieftains, 7-0. The Prep gets their first win of the season and starts the year 1-0. 


Coming off a state championship win last season, the Prep appears to have the same vibe going this year as well. 


“We put last year's team behind us. New year, new journey” senior captain Aidan Holland stated when talking about the game plan for Masco.


The Prep started the game in style with a goal from Mr. Hockey himself, Aidan Holland. A few minutes later, Jimmy Ayers put one in the back of the net on a loose puck. Freshman Joe Goldstein scored his first ever varsity goal late in the period. It was 3-0 after the first period. 


The second period had the same feel to it; the Prep controlled the puck the most and scored three more goals. Goals were scored by Aidan Holland (his second of the game), Jake Vana, and Will Van Sicklin. 6-0 after two periods of play. 


The third period consisted of subs and backups getting some time on the ice. Junior Johnny Tighe scored the lone third period goal, and the final score was 7-0. 


It is also worth noting that senior goaltender Brian Cronin got the nod from the Prep coaching staff and delivered them a clean night. Sophomore Luke Quinn came in during the third period. 


“We beat them with our speed, and we were really good at moving the puck,” Holland mentioned. 


The Prep will play Hingham on Saturday at the Pilgrim arena at 6 PM.

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...
