Where: Newell Stadium
When: Friday, October 30, 2009 7 p.m.
Game Notes: The Fishermen are coming off one of their most dominant performances of the season as they defeated the Peabody Tanners 34-0. Gloucester posted it's 4th shutout of the season last Friday. Now the Fishermen will have to prepare for an NEC Large showdown against a very dangerous Lynn English Bulldogs. Tyllor MacDonald leads the vaunted Lynn English passing attack with 18 touchdown passes, which is most in the state. His favorite target is the 6'1" Travonne Berry-Rodgers, who has caught half of MacDonald's TD passes. This game for all intensive purposes can be considered the NEC Large Title game because both of these teams are considered the class of the conference. The Fishermen have been led by the 2 way starter Brett Cahill who has become known as one of the most efficient passers in the North Shore and has played stellar at weak side linebacker. Gilbert Brown has been asked to fill the big shoes of their stand out junior tight end Chris Unis who has been sidelined with an elbow injury since Week 6. The Fishermen must lean on their HB Conor Ressel and FB Ali D'Angelo to help soften up a stout Bulldog defense.
Players to Watch:
Lynn English: Travonne Berry-Rodgers WR, Tyllor MacDonald QB, Jarred Dwyer C/LB
Gloucester: Ali D'Angelo FB/S, Gilbert Brown TE/LB, Conor Ressel HB/CB

Masslive, High School Athlete's Obsession
I have found out through years of going to Gloucester High School there is one website that most high school athletes will visit during the year, this website is masslive. The website is another blogging website for high school athletes of all different types of sports from football all the way to girls lacrosse. This site gives the athletes insight on teams they will face or might face in the upcoming season. This allows you to hide behind your blogging name and act like an online tough guy. Being on a site like masslive allows you to express yourself without people knowing who you are or where you are from. I haven't been upfront about this but i to go on this site and blog about games we have played or teams that I know very well. My blogging name on masslive is gfy27 and I do not feel like I need to hide behind a blogging name anymore. This site is a useful tool for a writers who work for the Boston Herald because they have blogging names on this site as well. Danny Ventura the head sports writer at the Herald is known as "DannyV" on this site, but he is not the only writer on this site. Jim Clark another Boston Herald sports writer is known as "InTheSlot". This site has been able to give people the ability to check up on games and get insight from people who were either at the game or are posting from the game. This is a useful tool if you want to know how a certain team is doing in their game that night.
