About East versus West

This is for all of you Mass. high school sports fanatics out there. Eastern Mass. vs. Western Mass., who is the bestern Mass.? When it comes to certain sports, it seems like certain parts of the state always have the upper hand. 

Like for example...Duxbury dominates in boys and recently girl's lacrosse...Longmeadow can say the same as well as in football...St. Mary's of Lynn boasts a ridiculous girl's hockey program...Catholic Memorial is known for its rivarly vs. B.C. High also on the ice...Westfield and Cathedral represent the rinks in the west.

Gardner is the swimming capital of the state...St. John's Prep never seems to die off in boy's volleyball...while Ludlow holds the most hardware in the sport of soccer...

These are only briefs of so much more. Yes they are the best in their neck of the woods, but who owns the state in sports overall? 

This is where the discussion will go down to the best of my ability and hopefully we can have some fun on here.

I had the opportunity to cover both sides of the state of Mass. from my first gig at a town newspaper, to my co-op/part-time coverage at the Boston Globe, and now back in my neck of the woods in Hampden County. 

Here topics and analysis of high school sports news, teams, coaches, players, and all other happening will be posted. 

This may get a little bit interesting...
