Despite Late Comeback, The Prep Ties Hingham, 2-2

By: Jason Stellakis

HINGHAM— On a Saturday evening, two of the best teams in Massachusetts hockey clashed. Although both teams played all 45 minutes plus overtime, the St. John’s Prep Eagles tied the Hingham Harbormen, 2-2. The Prep moves to 1-0-1 on the season. 


The Prep outshot Hingham 37-18. It was a good all around effort by the Prep, but was not a perfect night on the ice. Although they played like this, there is still much to improve upon. 


The first period consisted of the Prep barely missing some goals. They hit the post twice. There was one goal by the Prep that was waived off because the referee lost sight of the puck. After the first 15 Minutes, it was scoreless on both sides. 


In the second period, Mr. Hockey himself, Aidan Holland, scored his third goal of the season on a power play. It was looking as if the Prep went on the power play, they would score since their special teams had been on fire. However, Hingham got one back just a few minutes later, and the score after two periods was 1-1. 


The first half of the third period was even, but after Hingham suffered a five minute major penalty, it was looking like the Prep could score one or possibly two goals. However, Hingham played great on the penalty kill, and did not let the Prep score. Hingham scored on a questionable call by the refs that waved off icing, but nevertheless the Prep needed to score. And they did in the last few minutes from Will Van Sicklin. 2-2 after regulation. 


Overtime was nothing but an even match. Both teams had opportunities but couldn’t score. The final was 2-2. 


The Prep will take on La Salle Academy on Wednesday December 21st.

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...
