It was a big day for one fan at Patriot Place Thursday as former Patriots star Rob Gronkowski dropped by to make a wish come true. The retired tight end was in Foxboro to visit 14-year-old Joseph “Jake” Drake. The visit was part of a special day planned by Make-A-Wish of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. “My wish was to meet the Gronk and have a talk with him, play catch,” Drake said. “And I had a lot of fun doing it.”“He told me to never give up on what I dreamed to be,” Drake separately said. Drake is in remission from an optic nerve tumor. He said watching sports helped him through long, hard days in the hospital and inspired him to stay determined. As he continues his remission, the Make-A-Wish wanted to help Drake meet one of his heroes. In their visit this week, Drake and Gronk bowled together at Splitsville Luxury Lanes where Drake even learned to do Gronk’s signature spike celebration. “There’s a saying out there that Julian Edelman always said in...

It’s easy to marvel at Bishop Feehan’s two field hockey superstars, both fourth-year starters set to play at Div. 1 colleges next year.Ava Meehan, committed to one of the country’s most reputable field hockey programs (University of North Carolina), is a multi-faceted scorer and playmaker whose offensive skills outweigh those of many of the other top players in the state. Kay Murphy, headed to University of New Hampshire, is also an elite playmaker whose versatility, IQ and speed has her shining in the midfield after standing out as a forward in years prior.Shamrocks head coach Betsy D’Ambrosia raves about their work ethic. Opposing coaches rave about their impact. They’re team-first players on and off the field.And their yoga expertise?“Kay? Kay is not flexible,” D’Ambrosia said light-heartedly of a private hot yoga class the team took for team-bonding. “Her doing some of the positions was hysterical because she could barely touch her toes and then you have a girl next to her who h...

Column: Clues for the Chicago Cubs’ late-season collapse were right in front of our eyes all along

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:55:00 GMT

Even if the Chicago Cubs had made the postseason, most agreed their season would have ended in the wild-card round.Expectations were higher than normal in early September, with a 3-1/2 game lead for a National League wild-card spot and the team on a roll with a 12-1-2 record in 15 series from July 17-Sept. 6.No one was crazy enough to think this was a World Series-caliber team, but getting in would be good enough — a small step to spread a little optimism for 2024.Then it all went wrong, spectacularly so, leading to a late-season collapse. The Cubs went 7-14 and were eliminated on the second-to-last day of the season.“It’s hard to define exactly what went wrong,” Cubs President Jed Hoyer said Tuesday before pointing to the fatigue factor, bullpen injuries, lack of clutch hitting and defensive miscues.Those were all valid factors in the slow-motion demise, but what Hoyer forgot to mention was roster construction.That would’ve meant throwing himself ...

Her brother Chase was a member of St. John’s Prep’s Div. 1 championship roster in 2022.Coaches began to notice that Prouty had unique talents early on. It certainly helped that her future high school mentor was teaching physical education at nearby Highlands Elementary School, where Hinchion quickly spotted the soon-to-be star.“I had her K through (fifth grade),” Hinchion laughed. “You could just see that she had athletic ability that most kids her age didn’t possess yet.
