Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:28:45 GMT

CLEVELAND (AP) — Dustin Hopkins kicked a 34-yard field goal with 2 seconds left after Cleveland rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed four straight clutch passes, giving the Browns a 13-10 win Sunday over the rival Pittsburgh Steelers.Making just his second NFL start, Thompson-Robinson rallied the Browns (7-3) just days after Deshaun Watson was lost for the season with a shoulder injury.With the crowd chanting “D-T-R!” and Watson watching from Cleveland’s sideline in sweats, Thompson-Robinson, a fifth-round pick from UCLA, calmly completed his four passes for 29 yards to set up Hopkins.Last week, Hopkins kicked a 40-yard field goal as timed expired to beat Baltimore 33-31.The Browns have now beaten the Ravens and Steelers (6-4) in consecutive weeks for the first time in 15 tries. And Thompson-Robinson’s performance, though at times raggedy, has given Cleveland hope this season can still be special without Watson.The Steelers were outgained for the 10th st...

Wind and rain could make holiday travel ‘difficult’ NWS says

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:28:45 GMT

Wind and rain could impact holiday travel both before and after Thanksgiving, according to forecasters with the National Weather Service.It will be below “seasonable” temperatures through much of the week in the Boston area, meteorologist Bill Leatham told the Herald, and both sides of the busy holiday travel season could be impacted by gusts and precipitation.“On Wednesday it will be fairly windy — 35 mph to 40 mph — could make travel a bit difficult with the rain,” he said.A weather system is developing, though not entirely formed, that could bring more rain over the weekend, Leatham said.“It’s kind of a toss up at this point, there could be a system that’s working its way up to the region, but it’s still kind of early. I know at this point we’ve got chances of rain for both days,” he said.The week will start off sunny but about 10 degrees below normal mid-November temperatures, Leatham said, with highs on Monday in the lower 40s and dropping into the 20s overnight aro...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:28:45 GMT

BOLTON – The field hockey season and its seniors’ high school careers came to an official close Sunday morning at Nashoba, but not without one last reminder of what the sport is losing from the state’s top graduating players.The two Massachusetts State Field Hockey Coaches Association Best of 60 Senior All-Star Games showed plenty of offensive firepower and defensive execution in a final hoorah, with Team Dark Green beating Team Neon Orange 5-2, and Team Neon Green playing Team Navy to a 1-1 tie.The top seniors from state title-winning programs, state finalists and a bevy of other contenders were randomized to comprise all four rosters, and the skill level was even across the field in both games.Reading senior Natalie Wall’s heart rate didn’t exactly climb when her Navy teammate Norah Bargatti (Westfield) tied the score late in the fourth quarter of their game, but certainly was pleased to be among the competition.“It’s low stakes, we just came out here to have fun,” she said, the d...

Bruins notebook: Players looking to impress special audience

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:28:45 GMT

An 82-game regular season schedule that lasts up to seven months can hold its share of forgettable games and road trips. But a trip that every player seems to look forward to is the one that many teams have been doing over the past decade or so, the family-based road trip.Sometimes it’s the mothers of players who tag along, other times it’s the siblings. When the B’s boarded their flight Sunday for their two-city Florida trip to Tampa and Sunrise, the players had their Dads in tow.Not only were there smiles all around after practice at Warrior Ice Arena on Monday, the players usually get an extra boost once the games begin.“I think the motivation is they want to play well in front of their parents, but they also want to give kind of a thank you of a performance, a thank you to the Bruins for being able to do something like this,” said coach Jim Montgomery. “Because it really is special to spend time with your Mom or your Dad. Last year it was the siblings. Your par...

Sweet 16: Marshfield has its day

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:28:45 GMT

Once the new MIAA football alignments came out, all eyes were on Div. 2 to see if a certain powerhouse squad was listed there.Sure enough, Catholic Memorial was one of 22 teams.That certainly irritated many schools who believed the Knights should have moved up to Div. 1 after dominating the Div. 2 scene the previous two seasons. Catholic Memorial captured the previous two state titles and won each of those eight postseason contests by at least 20 points, one of the eight victims being Marshfield.Thus when the tournament pairings came out this year, Marshfield found itself on the same side of the draw as Catholic Memorial. Few gave the Rams any chance of ending the Knights’ reign of terror, but they didn’t count on a group of young men from Marshfield rising to the challenge and stunning Catholic Memorial 52-40 to advance to the Div. 2 title game against King Philip.“Our kids deserve all the credit for this,” said Marshfield coach Chris Arouca. “They played really hard an...
