Bill Belichick sat in front row to cheer for girlfriend Jordon Hudson in Miss Maine pageant
For this competition, Bill Belichick found himself in the seats. On May 11, Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson, 24, competed for Miss Maine with her 73-year-old boyfriend supporting her from the front row of the competition. Even with the support, Hudson came in third place. Shelby Howell of Bangor won the pageant and will go on to compete in Miss USA. This was Hudson's second time competing in the pageant. In 2024, she placed second. While Hudson grew up in Massachusetts – she lived in Provincetown and went to Nauset Regional High School in Eastham – she was born in Hancock, Maine. Her father, who also sat in the front, is a fisherman. During the pageant, she talked about wanting to help displaced fishermen. Hudson is known as a cheerleader. According to her Instagram, Hudson cheered at Bridgewater State University, with her team winning a National Cheerleaders Association Collegiate Championship in 2021. Along with completing her Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy, Hudson completed a professional cosmetology license at New England Hair Academy, where she was dually enrolled during her senior year of high school and freshman year of college. Today, Hudson works as the executive director of Trouble Club Enterprises. In 2021, while Hudson was still in college in Bridgewater, she and Belichick met while on a flight from Boston to Florida. The pair was spotted together throughout 2023, and they officially confirmed their relationship in May of 2024. The relationship has catapulted her into the limelight due to her frequent presence with Belichick. While Hudson didn't win the pageant, she did win the style award.

Jordon Hudson's high school classmate opens up on her 'controlling' nature amid Bill Belichick interview horror
Jordon Hudson's controversial, headline-grabbing relationship with Bill Belichick has come as no surprise to a former high-school classmate, who knew her as 'controlling,' according to a report. Hudson, 24, and Belichick, 73, sent shockwaves through the football world when they went public with their romance with their 49-year age gap stirring controversy. But the former cheerleader hit a new level of notoriety this week after she interrupted Belichick's interview with CBS Mornings in a painfully awkward moment that has since gone viral. Yet, there are some that are far from shocked at Hudson's antics, claiming they are 'so on brand.' 'That is exactly how she is,' an anonymous classmate from Hudson's high school told the New York Post. 'We are so unsurprised by this. None of us are shocked. We think it is hilarious.' Hudson reportedly graduated from Nauset Regional High School in 2019, having grown up in Provincetown. When it comes to men, she allegedly has a type. The Post reports that Hudson dated an older guy during high school too - although, not one 49 years her senior. And, the classmate claimed that Hudson's relationship with her ex, who was a couple of years older than her, was just as public and dramatic as her current one. 'She would get mad at him for something stupid and berate him and control him about something or get mad at him over random things,' the source said. 'It was very tumultuous. Everyone knew their business. It was very dramatic.' In a painfully awkward moment, Hudson interrupted Belichick's conversation with CBS Sunday Morning's Tony Dokoupil when her 73-year-old boyfriend was asked how they first met. 'We're not talking about this,' she bluntly told Dokoupil while lurking off-camera at the producer's table The excruciating moment has sparked a fierce backlash, with many questioning how much control Hudson has over Belichick's life away from the football field, while further reports have emerged claiming she also stormed off set and delayed shooting of the interview by 30 minutes. It also emerged in March that Hudson has had an unofficial role in Belichick's University of North Carolina career since his hiring with the football coach requesting his much younger lover be included in all correspondence to him from the school. Emails obtained by The Athletic showed the Miss Maine USA hopeful pleading with the university's communications team to censor social media comments about the couple's relationship and 49-year age gap. 'That's exactly how she acted in high school, stomping around,' the classmate said of Hudson's behavior in the interview. 'She was very controlling of when [Hudson and her high school boyfriend] were dating. The controlling tendencies are still there.' However, not everyone remembers Hudson in such a negative light with many of her former classmates recalling her warm and friendly nature. One described her as 'nice' and 'generous,' while another was happy for Hudson and her relationship with Belichick, adding 'good for her.' Fans were quick to raise concerns after a clip of the uncomfortable interview moment with CBS went viral on social media at the weekend, leading to fears over the nature of their relationship and how much control she has over Belichick. Furthermore, Belichick's friends are said to be increasingly concerned at the control Hudson has over the eight-time Super Bowl winner, while North Carolina are said to be questioning if he is still the right man to be their football coach. But Belichick went on the offense Wednesday, by accusing CBS of using 'selectively edited clips' that have made Hudson subject of ongoing ridicule. He accused the CBS Mornings host of 'repeatedly' introducing topics he had not improved, stressing his desire to stay on the topic of his upcoming book, 'The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football,' which he was there to promote. 'After this occurred several times, Jordon, with whom I share both a personal and professional relationship, stepped in to reiterate that point to help refocus the discussion,' Belichick said in a statement. 'She was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track. 'Some of the clips make it appear as though we were avoiding the question of how we met, but we have been open about the fact that Jordon and I met on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021. 'The final eight-minute segment does not reflect the productive 35-minute conversation we had, which covered a wide range of topics related to my career. 'Instead, it presents selectively edited clips and stills from just a few minutes of the interview to suggest a false narrative - that Jordon was attempting to control the conversation - which is simply not true.' But CBS denied violating any sort of agreement and said they had agreed to a 'wide-ranging interview' with Belichick. 'When we agreed to speak with Mr. Belichick, it was for a wide-ranging interview,' a statement from the network reads. 'There were no preconditions or limitations to this conversation. This was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed.'

It just matters more: MIAA boys' hockey has taken a hit, but playing for your community? ‘You can't beat it.'
An associate's degree in junior hockey is nearly required to play in college. The speed and physicality of the college game favors those who are more developed in not just their game, but their body. Read more from this project: | Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up It's what makes players such as Logan Poulin uncommon. Advertisement Poulin never envisioned playing for Nauset Regional High School. He spent his freshman year traveling three hours a day from his hometown of 2,500 in North Truro to Hingham to skate for the Boston Advantage U15 AAA, then was recruited to play hockey and lacrosse at Milton Academy. It lasted a week. Two-plus years later, Poulin is committed to play lacrosse at the University of Vermont. He had the opportunity to play on the TD Garden ice last season, 'I couldn't have asked for it any other way,' said Poulin. 'I've had a great experience and I wouldn't trade it for the world.' In an age where many leave the MIAA for other opportunities, he did the opposite. 'He's a pretty prime example of a kid that's been lighting up in public high school hockey since he stepped foot into the thing,' said Nauset coach Connor Brickley, a former NHL player. 'Not one coach has called, emailed, or anything expressing any said interest, even at the Division 3 level.' Advertisement Nauset's Logan Poulin (center) hopes to lead his squad back to the MIAA championships at TD Garden later this month. Kylie Cooper for The Boston Globe That's because college coaches are filling their rosters from the excess of players in junior and club hockey. Scouting at elite games is a lot more effective than hopping from high school barn to high school barn. The diluted pool of players trickles down to the MIAA. Last year, Barnstable graduated 11 players and lost six more to prep school or other opportunities. Wellesley lost nine to prep school. They aren't outliers. It's a vicious cycle. 'There's a lot of options out there,' said Catholic Memorial coach Larry Rooney. 'I don't know if I'd say watered down, but it's definitely spread the talent out.' The number of co-op teams reached an all-time high, with 51 out of 179 total teams in the 2024-25 season. (In 2001-02, there were 215 teams and 36 co-ops, according to the MIAA.) The remaining smaller schools continue to give it their best shot. Latin Academy, one of two remaining Boston City League teams, fielded just 17 players. Several schools, short on numbers, dress middle schoolers. 'There are a lot of town programs that are on life support,' said Duxbury coach Mike Flaherty. 'There's a lot of programs that aren't around anymore. It's crazy.' And it's too bad. The MIAA playoffs are a transcendent experience. Upsets. Overtime. Fans overflowing to the lobby. Kids playing for the front of their jersey, as opposed to the back. Herb Brooks would be proud. 'It's harder to play in an Arlington-Reading game than a [Boston Jr.] Eagles-[Cape Cod] Whalers game with a bunch of Division 1 commits on the ice,' said Arlington coach John Messuri. 'The intensity and pride in Arlington-Reading is way higher. You don't have that intensity and pride [in club hockey].'

Ken McGagh for The Boston Globe Teams endeavoring to poach top talent tout their coaching. Many MIAA coaches are former college players with deeply embedded roots in the community. More important to them than an errant breakout pass is the development of the young men in their locker room. 'We have a lot of great coaches that care about their kids, that care about their development,' said St. John's Prep coach Kristian Hanson. 'What an amazing collection of high school coaches that are doing it the right way and developing that kid on and off the ice.' Just as the landscape has changed, so have the players. The prevalence of skills camps increases the on-ice capabilities of the players, who are widely considered better across the board than ever. The speed, skating ability, and shooting dwarfs their predecessors. What falls short is hockey IQ. Many skaters play on half-season fall teams, which are less focused on ingraining the finer points of the game compared to how many opponents one can dangle. Team-based concepts are neglected. Many MIAA coaches have the arduous task of undoing tasks learned over the fall. 'The focus is on the skills, but if I had the answer, you could bottle it and make a ton of money,' quipped Hingham coach Tony Messina. Coaches also have needed to adapt their approach around social media's presence in the game, with players yearning to create a highlight that will impress their friends. Players ingest the game in short-form video, prioritizing watching highlights over the Bruins or World Juniors. Advertisement 'I wouldn't say that's a lost art, but a lot of kids don't watch hockey as religiously as they used to,' said Marshfield coach Dan Connolly. Now, most video sessions are short and focus on what was done well, as opposed to what wasn't. The era of giving tongue lashings for mistakes, on the bench or in the locker room, is long gone. 'We're all doing more video, because that's how kids understand things now,' said Xaverian coach Dave Spinale. 'They're so screen-heavy … When you show them something on video, it rings true.' Sometimes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. A whopping 18,851 fans paid to see the MIAA championships on Causeway Street last year, filing past Bobby Orr's bronze replica to cheer on their hometown heroes. MIAA hockey possesses an indelible history in the Commonwealth, a fabric that unites communities. It's the same it has always been: If a player is talented enough to play in The Show, it's nothing more than a development league before moving on to other opportunities. It's just that fewer talented players are even throwing on the hometown jerseys. That doesn't mean the on-ice product is lacking. 'To see all of your guys get fired up, your parents in the crowd, it's the best feeling,' said Archbishop Williams junior Brody Kabilian, who netted a hat trick in the Bishops' 6-1 first-round win over Needham. 'You can't beat it.' Most importantly? The players care. So do the fans in the stands. 'You're playing with your town, with your community, with your best friends,' said Messina. 'There's nothing better than that.' Cam Kerry can be reached at
