God bless you, Peter. What you've done to make this world a better place and more aware will never, ever be forgotten by those of us who loved you. Without a doubt, you are the strongest and bravest man many of us will ever know. Rest in peace, my friend.

Wrote "Winchester" instead of the correct "Weymouth" several times tonight. Rookie mistake(s).
Autocorrect not an excuse. It's playoff time; I have to be better.
Weymouth scores with 49 seconds to go on a 2-yard jaunt from Daniel Perez Molina. Game ends before the conversion came be attempted.
St. John's Prep (9-0) prevails, 35-6, in this Division 1 Round of 16 contest.
Backup QB Michael Hamel with an 8-yard keeper for the score, and Jack O'Keefe booms home the PAT. Prep 35, Weymouth 0 late in the third quarter.
Weymouth turns the ball over on downs on its own 25-yard line.
Michael Hamel comes in at quarterback for St. John's Prep. If Chris Vargas' night is through, he finishes 11-for-14 for 171 yards and 3 TD passes.
Maxwell Parent bulls his way into the end zone from 6 yards out. Four drives, four scores for the Eagles, who lead Weymouth 28-0 midway through the third quarter.
Weymouth ran 29 offensive plays (all runs) in the first half, gaining 101 yards and using 17:58 of the first half's 24 minutes. They did not score any points.
St. John's Prep ran 20 plays (6 run/14 pass) in just 6 minutes and 2 seconds and put up 21 points.
That's football.
t. John’s Prep goes up 21-0 with 15 seconds left in the first half. Riley Selvais with his second TD, catching an 8- yard slant from Chris Vargas (171 yards, 3 TD), and Maxwell Parent rushes in the conversion.

Volleyball falls to a strong Notre Dame Academy 3-0. Set scores were 25-18, 25-10, 25-14. Congratulations to the team on a great season!

Winchester holds the ball for more than 12 minutes, but an attempted 37 yard field goal falls short.
St John’s Prep 7, Winchester 0 after one quarter. The Eagles ran exactly one offensive play – – scoring on its very first attempt – – and Winchester has held onto the ball ever since with a grind it out, unbalanced double wing attack. They’re facing third and goal from the 13.
St. John’s Prep scores on the game very first offensive play as Chris Vargas hits Will Codreanu on a 51-yard fly pattern down the right sideline and he runs into the end zone untouched. 7-0 Eagles 16 seconds in
Pre-game prayer for St. John’s Prep moments before kickoff tonight against Winchester in a Division 1round of 16 contest. Eagles to receive the kickoff.
