A 20-game win streak? Billerica boys' lacrosse built for a trip to Division 2 semifinals

Billerica's set defense was nearly impenetrable with Caden Canney, Daniel Kinsella, and senior captain AJ Parrella holding down the back line in front of junior goalie Nolan Heffernan (8 saves). Walpole (17-4) came in averaging over 13 goals per game, but could never get rolling, with five of its six goals coming unassisted. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'We knew defensively, we had to minimize their guys and did a really good job on that end,' said Parrella, 'It was just a really good team win.' Advertisement When Walpole started to chip away at a 6-2 halftime deficit in the third quarter, Gearin provided the response. The electric middie, who missed the majority of the season with a broken tibia, scored three times in the frame and provided the first four goals for his squad in the second half to keep the Wolves at bay. Gearin also provided an early spark with three assists in the first quarter. Advertisement '[Gearin has] been itching to go,' said Nickerson. 'He had some pent up energy and tonight was a big release for him. We knew it would be a good matchup for him against their defense, but I didn't think it would be this good. He was awesome tonight.' Division 1 Lincoln-Sudbury 14, Concord-Carlisle 5 — With a decisive third-quarter surge, the third-seeded Lincoln-Sudbury boys' lacrosse team pulled away from No. 6 Concord-Carlisle quarterfinal. Junior Brady Malo paced Lincoln-Sudbury (15-4) with three goals, and seniors Rex Friedholm, Nolan Martindale, and Will Fosnot added two apiece. 'Our seniors really stepped up today,' Lincoln-Sudbury coach Brian Vona said. Lincoln-Sudbury built a 3-2 edge through one quarter and 6-3 halftime advantage after a slick behind-the-back pass from Friedholm to Malo in the final seconds. The Harvard-bound Friedholm dictated the action throughout the night, and senior Dante Venuto was sharp at the face-off X. Senior Jason Swaim (3 goals) helped the Patriots (17-4) stay within striking distance, then Fosnot spearheaded a 6-2 third quarter for Lincoln-Sudbury to make it 12-5. The Patriots made some noise in the fourth, but the outcome had already been sealed. After quarterfinal exits each of the past two seasons, the Warriors are back in familiar territory. They'll face No. 2 St. John's Prep in the semifinals Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. at Burlington High. 'I've never been to a Final Four game,' Friedholm said. 'A lot of these guys have never been. We were dying, we were dying. We were just clawing, scratching, everything we needed to do.' Division 2 State Advertisement Westwood 9, Longmeadow 8 — Senior Troy Fredrickson fired in the winner with 2:15 remaining (and assisted on another) to propel the 10th-seeded Wolverines (16-4) to the first semifinal appearance in program history. 'Today is one of the best days of my life,' an ecstatic coach Todd Zahurak said after the win. While there's not a singular star on the roster, 'we have a bunch of 'A' players that nobody really knows about,' said Zahurak. Junior attackman Sam Cochran had a trio of goals and classmate Jaden Pollack had 12 saves as the Wolverines completed a nearly 200-mile trip to upset No. 2 Longmeadow (17-4). Zahurak credited his defense, including junior Ryan Williams and senior Kyle Harvey for keeping a solid Longmeadow attack off the board. 'This group just really believes in each other, and they play for each other,' said Zahurak. Corresponents Lenny Rowe and Chloe Wojtanik contributed. Nate Weitzer can be reached at

WATCH: Former Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson shares why he wears No. 32

WATCH: Former Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson shares why he wears No. 32 Buckeye Nation will always have fond memories of former running back TreVeyon Henderson. He came to Ohio State as the No. 1 running back in the country according to some recruiting services and quickly flashed on the scene, running for over 1,000 yards during his freshman campaing. He was besieged by nagging injuries the next two seasons but battled his way through it to still be a very productive back, and then finished things off last year by going over 1,000 yards again, all while splitting time with Ole Miss transfer running back Quinshon Judkins. It all culminated in taking home the first expanded 12-team College Football Playoff national championship. If you watched Ohio State the last four seasons, we don't have to tell you what number Henderson wore when toting the rock in the Scarlet and Gray. His No. 32 was very recognizable except for the times when he was a blur breaking off explosive plays out of the backfield. But did you know the reason he donned the No. 32, ever since he was basically in Pee-Wee football? Watch as Henderson explains why he wore his number of choice and continues to wear it with his new team, the New England Patriots. It has everything to do with his grandfather and honoring him. Henderson grew tremendously at Ohio State both on and off the field. He went from becoming an electric and fast runner to perhaps the best blocking back in the NFL draft. He also developed into a great option in the passing game out of the backfield. More than that, he became a leader because of his faith and growth as a person.

Former Patriots players congratulate David Andrews in heartfelt tribute video

Former Patriots players congratulate David Andrews in heartfelt tribute video Former members of the New England Patriots congratulated center David Andrews on his retirement earlier this week. They delivered their messages in a video posted by the team on social media. Andrews officially retired after 10 seasons in the NFL. He was a cornerstone of the Patriots' offensive line throughout his career and a longtime team captain. He won two Super Bowls with the team and established himself as one of the franchise's all-time greats. The team held a retirement press conference in his honor. It was a celebratory afternoon for many, as warm wishes and familiar faces made appearances on the day. Many former Patriots players, including legendary quarterback Tom Brady, appeared in a tribute video congratulating Andrews on a great career. 'David! Congratulations, my man. Welcome to the other side,' Brady said. "You couldn't have had a better career. You were not only a great teammate, but you are a champion. Playing that center position for our team all those years. As you know, the heart and soul of any great team is the offensive line, and you were the leader. You were right in the middle.' Former legendary tight end Rob Gronkowski also gave a shout-out to Andrews in the video. Gronkowski said, 'David Andrews, before we get into your career, I just want to say how good you looked when I saw you the other day. 'Your leadership, toughness you brought to the table and most importantly, your consistency as a player, was remarkable. You're a standup player on the field and off the field, buddy. I'm glad I was there from the beginning to see you develop into the anchor that you were on the offensive line.' Andrews is undoubtedly a legend in his own right and a future Patriots Hall of Famer. Like so many others, no matter where life takes him, he will always be a Patriot. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.
