The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletics Association officially announced this morning that they have tapped Medway High School Principal Richard Pearson as its next Associate Executive Director. He will begin July 1 and replace outgoing Deputy Executive Director Bill Gaine, who is set to retire at the end of June.

Here is the MIAA's official release, courtesy of Media Relations director Nathan Bonneau:

Richard L. Pearson, currently principal of Medway High School, has been named Associate Executive Director of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) and the Massachusetts Secondary Schools Administrators’ Association (MSSAA). He will assume his new position in June.

He will succeed William N. Gaine Jr., the long time Deputy Executive Director, who will retire on June 30, 2012.

In making the announcement, Richard F. Neal, Executive Director, said, “Richard has been an active member of our two associations for many years and is well informed on the mission, responsibilities and operations of both organizations. The fact that his peers elected him to serve as MSSAA President this year is testimony to the respect he has among the educational community as a leader.”

With the MIAA, Mr. Pearson has served on many committees, including the Tournament Management Committee and Lacrosse Committee, and is currently serving as Chair of the District C Athletic Committee.

Mr. Pearson was named principal at Medway H.S. in August, 2004. Among his many accomplishments in that position was supervising the opening of a new school. He was assistant principal at Foxborough H.S. from June, 2000 to August, 2004.

A musician by education, he holds a Bachelor in Music Education degree from The Ohio State University. He began his teaching career as Band Director in Walpole and later in Medfield. He holds a Masters in Education degree from Bridgewater State College and is currently in the process of completing course work in the doctoral program at Northeastern University.

Mr. Gaine joined the Associations as Assistant Executive Director in October, 1979 and has had major responsibility in the areas of student/athlete health and safety initiatives over the years. He also had executive responsibility for all phases of management for most Association-sponsored sports with current oversight for ice hockey, football and baseball. He was promoted to his present position in 1994.

Mr. Gaine has been the architect and catalyst for the development and growth of the MIAA’s Student Services Program which includes Sportsmanship, Wellness, Leadership, Community Service and Coaches’ Education. The MIAA and Mr. Gaine have been recognized statewide and nationally for creating programming focused on student athletes that enrich their interscholastic experience through a curriculum of educational athletics.

Temple coach Steve Addazio's familiarity with the football landscape in Connecticut has paid off this month, when Temple received verbal commitments from two former Connecticut high school standouts: running back Montrell Dobbs (Ansonia) and 6-foot-1, 215-pound linebacker Tyler Matakevich (St. Joseph).

Both Dobbs and Matakevich graduated from high school in 2011, and played prep school football at Milford Academy in New Berlin, N.Y., last season.

Addazio is a Connecticut native who played at Central Connecticut State (1978-81) and coached at Cheshire High School (1988-94).

Dobbs originally committed to Connecticut, but could not gain admission because of an academic issue. He said he thought about playing for Marshall, until Temple entered the picture. He met with Addazio and Temple assistant coach Sean McGowan last Friday. Temple extended a scholarship offer Tuesday.

“I really didn't have to think about it much, especially since Tyler and I have become good friends and he's going there,” Dobbs said. “I wanted to stay closer to home anyway. I was a good fit for me.”

Dobbs rushed for 3,445 yards and scored 45 touchdowns during his senior season at Ansonia. He was Milford Academy's offensive MVP last season.

Dobbs said he may be a partial qualifier and not allowed to play next season.

“I don't know if I'm going to be playing this year,” he said. “I'm gonna find that out. All I know is I'm definitely going to school at Temple.”

An injury forced Matakevich to miss the first five games of his senior season, when he helped St. Joseph win the second of back-to-back Class S championships. St. Joseph beat a Dobbs-led Ansonia team 49-28 to win the 2010 championship. Matakevich scored four touchdowns in that victory.

Matakevich was a two-time all-state selection who caught Temple's eye at a postseason college combine.

“I love everything about Temple,” Matakevich told the Connecticut Post. “I'm so happy to finally get this done after all that hard work. It's finally paid off.”

Is there any sports fan who hasn’t heard that cliché’ “picking up the slack?”

That’s exactly what Division I leader La Salle Academy did on October 28 when the Rams overcame the loss of quarterback Anthony Francis, who was sidelined with an ankle injury, and still throttled playoff contender Cranston West, 30-6.

Junior running back Josh Morris certainly picked up the slack in his teammate’s absence by scoring on touchdown runs of 22 and 51 yards in the first half as the Rams remained on top with a 6-0 record.

La Salle also received a lift from backup quarterback Jack Collins who came off the bench and scored on runs of two yards and one yard.

As a result, La Salle has outscored its six division opponents by a hefty margin of 234-86 and is in position to run the table which would enable coach Geoff Marcone’s team to clinch the division title and the top seed in the upcoming playoffs.

But as is frequently the case, the title and the No. 1 seed won’t be decided until Thanksgiving Day when the Rams play arch-rival East Providence (4-1) in the state’s longest-running series on that holiday.

The Townies ventured to Massachusetts last weekend and were blanked, 26-0, by Foxborough in a non-league game – due in large part to the fact they committed seven turnovers. But the previous weekend, East Providence moved into title contention by beating third-place Hendricken (4-2), 35-14, as quarterback Brandon Peters threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Victor Adewoski and ran for a pair of touchdowns.

Should East Providence and La Salle enter their Thanksgiving game still ranked 1-2 in the standings and if the Townies win which would force a tie, they would earn the No. 1 seed based on the first tiebreaker (record in head-to-head competition).

DORCHESTER, Mass. -- Spending the last three years as ball girls at the USTA Pro Circuit 50,000 Challenger at the Sportsmen’s Tennis Club in Dorchester, DiAndrea Galloway and Jendayia Lubin never imagined playing in the tournament themselves.

But a few months ago the 15-year-olds from Mattapan and Dorchester, respectively, learned they’d be the wild card doubles team playing in the tournament, which was first played here four years ago and features pro players from around the world.

“I’m not even going to lie, I never thought I’d be able to play in here, but now that we have the chance to I feel like ‘Yes I can do this,’” said Galloway, who is ranked No. 44 in the USTA’s Under-16 rankings, during the tournaments opening day on Wednesday. “They are like a step away from me.

It didn’t matter that they lost to the No. 1-seeded team, 6-1, 6-0, on Wednesday night. Playing in their first pro tournament and the exposure to higher-caliber players is priceless.

“For it to be in our backyard is amazing,” said Lubin, who is No. 45 in the Under-16 rankings. “A lot of girls don’t have this opportunity to say ‘My club is hosting this 50k tournament’ and we get to sit here and hit with most of the players and watch how they play and carry themselves on and off the tennis court. And it opens our eyes, ‘Maybe we can do this.’”

The club’s executive director, Toni Wiley, didn’t worry about the loss to Sharon Fichman and Marie-Eve Pelletier of Canada demoralizing her doubles team.

“We get to know our players really well,” Wiley said. “We wouldn’t put them in this if we thought they weren’t emotionally ready. The emotional part is far more important than their ability to compete.”

Playing at the oldest African American operated non-profit tennis club in the country since they were little kids, Galloway and Lubin are known around the club as DD and JJ. While Galloway started playing when she was around three or four years old, Lubin started when she was five.

“Nobody in my family played tennis, but it was part of my life growing up, it was all they watched when I growing up,” Lubin said. “They were diehard tennis fans. I don’t know why, but they were.”

Lubin and Galloway both started playing tournaments five years ago and they have been playing together as a doubles teams for about four years, traveling all around New England for tournaments and even as far as Miami, Fla.

“We’re the same age, we play at the same club, we’re close friends,” Lubin explained. “We have the same playing style. She likes to serve, I like to serve. We both volley, we’re both aggressive. We both hit hard. We have the same mindset.”

They both just completed their freshman years at different exam schools in the Boston Public Schools system. While Lubin played on the recently-created tennis team at O’Bryant -- leading the Tigers into the state tournament for the first time ever -- Galloway has played No. 1 singles for Latin Academy since seventh grade.

“The girls were like ‘We don’t want a seventh grader playing No. 1 singles’ and then [the coaches] said ‘If you want to be first singles than play against me’ and they played against me and they lost,” Galloway said. “They were all mad, but we ended up being a close team.”

Playing a so-called “country club sport” in an inner-city school can also be tough.

“Some people are like ‘Tennis is so boring I don’t understand it’ or ‘Tennis is so easy all you have to do is hit the ball over the net,’” Lubin said. “I’m like ‘It’s not that simple, there’s a concept just like football.’

“They don’t really take tennis that seriously in my school but football and basketball is the talk of the town.”

Playing at a college where tennis is a little bit more appreciated is a goal for both girls, but turning pro like the women in this week’s tournament is also a dream for both players.

“I would get bent out of shape a little bit if I can’t turn pro like I want to but I would cope with it,” Galloway said.
For now, they are just soaking it all up, especially during this week’s tournament.

“I take a lot out of it,” Galloway said. “[The other players] tell me their experiences on the tennis court and I’m like ‘Wow I’ve never been trough that’ and they tell me how they cope with that and how they got from when they were younger to now.”

The MIAA Division 2 team tennis state finals have been postponed to tomorrow, at Lexington High School.

Both the Lexington-Sharon boys final, and the Winchester-Hopkinton girls final, will start at 3:30 p.m.

The resume: Seven consecutive appearances in the Division I boys' lacrosse final.

The crown count: Four.

The program celebrating those staggering statistics: Nashua's Bishop Guertin High.

Guertin tightened its grip on the sport June 8 with a first-time feat for the program. Coach Chris Cameron and his Cardinals clinched their second straight title with an 11-8 win.

“This one feels good,” said Cameron, whose team finished 14-1 in league play. “This one feels good.”

Success was indeed sweet, considering second-seeded BG beat its fiercest rival. Top-seeded Pinkerton Academy of Derry entered the tournament final undefeated (20-0 overall) and perfect in NHIAA finals since 1997 when boasting an unblemished record (3-0).

Roughly 1,500 fans filed in to Stellos Stadium for the much-anticipated matchup played in extreme humidity. The final marked the fourth time BG and Pinkerton fought to finish No. 1 since 2005.

BG now owns a 3-1 record in those colossal clashes.

What prepared BG's young and inexperienced squad for this giant win? Try six grueling out-of-state games that left the team linked to an uncharacteristic 0-6 record.

Cameron annually schedules the most unforgiving non-league schedule of any team playing NHIAA lacrosse. After his team topped No. 3 seed Hanover High in the semifinals, 15-6, the eighth-year coach said this spring's out-of-state slate was the toughest to date.

The Cards lost to Massachusetts squads Lexington (6-4), Needham (14-11), Cohasset (7-4) and Duxbury (15-3). New Jersey's St. Joseph Metuchen (11-3) and Rhode Island's La Salle Academy (6-5) also beat BG.

There was also an 8-7 loss to the Astros, which snapped BG's 48-game regular-season win streak against in-state foes. Guertin had as many losses this spring (seven) as the 2008, 2009 and 2010 seasons combined.

Shut-down junior defenseman Bob Fahey said team confidence took a hit. But the losses served a purpose.

“It got us ready for this exact game, right here,” said Fahey, who has already committed to UMass. “Coach Cameron gives us that great out-of-state schedule to get ready for these games.”

Cameron's club took control of the final after halftime. The teams took the field for the third quarter knotted at 6-apiece.

BG's midfield- and close-defense – operating without defensive slides – caused all kinds of problems for Pinkerton. Fahey, Kyle Karaska and Jay Krzyston forced the Astros to shoot from the perimeter. Long-stick midfielder Brody Smith locked off lanes to the cage. Colin Delea (14 saves) made the necessary stops between the pipes.

“You've got to give credit to them,” said Pinkerton coach Brian O'Reilly, noting his offensive-minded club was contained to four goals in 6-on-6 play. “It's not like we were missing the cage. It's just the shots didn't seem to be there.”
