Beverly head football coach Jeff Hutton gave his team a fiery, inspiring speech after tonight 41-40 victory of Wakefield. “You earned every second of this win against the great team – – hold your heads high and be proud of yourselves.“

The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Well, once again the call for thoughts & prayers will come. Once again we will ring our hands & cry about senseless violence, we will mourn the dead, we will lower flags & hold vigils. Once again we will do absolutely nothing of consequence to stop gun violence. @MatthewXJoseph

Trump: Governor Moore is doing a bad job. Newsom is doing a bad job. All of their potential candidates are doing a bad job. I can't imagine Pritzker being even a candidate. He’s not temperamentally suited.

In MA, we made school meals free for all students so they can focus on learning. It’s our school nutrition professionals like Mary, and our local farmers like Steve, who are putting healthy meals on the table for our students. Together, we’re making school meals a win-win! 🥛🥗🍗

The best coaches stop plays during practice and pull players aside during games to teach. Sport is a game of mistakes. Too many coaches bench players first, punishing instead of coaching. Real player development happens with patience, respect, and guidance…not embarrassment. secure.touchnet.net/C20389_u…
