The Boston Herald reported Tuesday the state's Tournament Management Committee did not "universally approve" the MIAA football committee's proposal for a statewide playoff format.

Poll: Westwood or Dover-Sherborn? Who is Medfield High’s Rival?

Debating Medfield High’s rival—is it based on history and tradition or current matchups?

Rivalry is defined as “competition for the same objective or for superiority in the same field.” In high school athletics, rivalries often warrant extra attention leading up to the big game. From pep rallies to spirit weeks, the school community shows extra pride for the home team during these "rivalry games." Medfield High’s athletic history has produced several notable rivalries over the years, but perhaps none more evident than two: Westwood and Dover-Sherborn. The Warriors have gone toe-to-toe with both of these schools in football on Thanksgiving and are often competing near the top of the Tri-Valley League with both schools in various sports over the course of the school year. However, Medfield's Thanksgiving Day opponents don't stop…

DS grad here. I always considered Medfield our archrivals, across the board. We were always more amped up when the Warriors came to town, or when we played there (even for the annual pre-season football jamboree with Keefe Tech). Unless one team was dominant that year in whatever sport we were playing, records could pretty much be thrown out. There was no lacrosse in the TVL when I went to HS (…   more ›

The Medfield High School Student Council came up with the idea to bring back the school's powderpuff football tradition with a game on Nov. 22 as a way for the school and town communities to come together. “The purpose of the event is to provide a great event for the junior and senior girls to participate in and for students and families to come and enjoy,” said Rose Sievewright, a junior at MHS and student council member. Sievewright, along with junior Katie Nickerson, are the co-chairs of the event. “The event will be a nice way to start off Thanksgiving break and generate spirit at MHS,” she said. Powderpuff …

Medfield Determined to Play Four Quarters of Football Tonight in Millis

The Warriors travel to Millis to face the Mohawks Friday at 7 p.m. Medfield Patch will provide real time coverage with its Friday Night LIVE blog.

With two games remaining in the 2011 season, head coach Erik Ormberg expects his Medfield High School football team to compete and execute its game plan for four quarters, starting Friday night in Millis. “We have to play four quarters of football, limit mistakes and penalties and convert big plays on special teams,” Ormberg said. Last week, Medfield went toe-to-toe with Hopkinton for the first quarter-and-a-half, but in the span of 23 seconds, the Hillers pulled ahead for good. “The game changed in 23 seconds going from 0-0 to 13-0,” Ormberg said. “We hung in there until the fourth quarter, our players refuse to quit. Our seniors continue to play hard and our juniors are stepping up in a variety of ways.” Ormberg said at 2-7 (0-4 in TVL …
