Prep hex strikes again: BC High lacrosse falls to St. John's Prep in OT in Div. 1 final
BOURNE -- Looks like the law of averages has been repealed. Or maybe it just feels that way for the BC High lacrosse team. You would think that if you keep running into the same opponent in a huge playoff spot year after year that eventually it would stop being their time all the time and it would, in fact, become your time at some point. Advertisement The odds would seem to favor a change in the power structure, but it hasn't happened yet. Matched up yet again with nemesis St. John's Prep in the Division 1 state championship game, BC High again came up agonizingly short on Saturday afternoon at Mass. Maritime Academy's Clean Harbor Stadium. Top-seeded BC High staged a brilliant comeback, forcing overtime by scoring a pair of goals (by Murphy Belvin and star attackman Nick Emsing) in the final 69 seconds. But St. John's Prep senior midfielder Luke Kelly capped off the first possession of OT with a goal that gave Prep an 8-7 win and a fifth straight state crown. "My oldest brother Michael was a senior when we won the first one," Kelly said. "It means everything to keep the tradition alive and try to finish what those guys started in 2021 and before that." More: With another state title, rugby took BC High senior Mikey Smith to places he never imagined Advertisement Prep had beaten BC High in the Div. 1 final in 2021 (by an 11-7 score), 2022 (11-5) and 2023 (16-14) before switching things up a little by eliminating the Eagles in the semis last spring before topping Needham in the final. Prep also won both regular-season meetings with BC High this spring and last spring. "It's always a dogfight with these guys," Kelly said. "They know what we're doing offensively, we know what they're doing offensively. It's just a battle of attrition, who's going to grind it out."

Advertisement "We all sign up for it by playing sports, right?" BC High coach Marcus Craigwell said of the Prep hex. "There's gotta be a winner and a loser. It's all about preparation. It should set the next year up in terms of what (the returning players) expect. It might be Prep again (in the final). It might be Prep the next 10 years. We just don't know. Unfortunately, we came up on the short end (again). But they shouldn't hang their heads." Luke Kelly of St. John's Prep scored the winning goal in overtime as Prep defeated BC High, 8-7, in overtime in the MIAA Division 1 state championship on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at Mass Maritime Academy BC High (19-4) came out flying, grabbing a 3-0 lead in the first four minutes as Emsing sandwiched a pair of goals around one by sophomore FOGO Jackson Ketchen. Ketchen's goal came straight off a faceoff win just 4 seconds after Emsing's opening tally. Was No. 2 Prep (22-1) surprised by the early flurry? Advertisement "Little bit," Kelly said. "They were getting some groundballs, winning some faceoffs. It's a state championship, two best teams in the state. They're going to score some goals. We gotta get it back." Prep certainly did that, roaring back to score six straight goals to take a 6-3 lead into halftime. Cam McCarthy got Prep on the board midway through the first quarter, and the champs outscored BC High 5-0 in the second quarter on goals from Ryan McCarthy, Madden McGowan, Bo Minogue, Josh Haarmann and Mac Crawford. BC High slowly turned the tide in the second half, outscoring Prep 4-1. Emsing completed his hat trick midway through the third quarter to halt Prep's scoring binge. Beckett Lee put Prep ahead 7-4, but Jacob Adams struck to get BC High within 7-5 heading into the fourth quarter. "Hot start," Craigwell said. "We gave them a different look, and then they settled into it. We had to battle. We won the first (quarter), they won the second, we won the third and fourth." Advertisement Belvin made it 7-6 with 1:09 left, and Emsing netted his fourth of the day with just 28 seconds left to tie it up. "With 2 minutes left we could have bagged it in, down two," Craigwell said. "But we plugged away and stayed consistent. Couldn't have asked for a better effort." BC High appeared to have all the momentum heading into the extra period, but they never touched the ball. "We were just staying calm," Kelly said of Prep's mental approach to OT. "We've been working on relaxation for the past 45 days, I think. So just staying calm and keep playing (assuming) it's going to come. We've worked too hard to lose it. We knew we were going to win." Advertisement That they did, as Kelly fired a bullet just over the right shoulder of BC High junior goalie TJ Emsing (Nick's brother), who had made a pair of saves just before Kelly's final statement. Could he have written a better ending to his Prep career? "No, I don't think so," Kelly said. "I started out as a water boy in the program seven years ago. I love this team. Coach (John) Pynchon has made me the man I am today. I love St. John's so much. To end it like this is magical."

No. 2 St. John's Prep continues to roll, defeating Lincoln-Sudbury to earn shot at fifth straight Division 1 title
'Every year is a new season,' said Prep coach John Pynchon. 'In high school sports, there is no repeating from last year. You have to start over, and this year, we've learned that in some awkward ways with some stuff that we were trying to do that we needed to rethink.'

'We just locked down, had a great defensive game plan in place, and just executed. We weren't going to be intimidated….They're a great team, but we know that we're a great team as well. We put it all together tonight.' Although Medfield's game plan was to shut down star senior Willy Robinson (2 goals), Scituate's supporting cast stepped up under the lights, including Spaulding, senior Owen Hofford (3 goals, 3 assists), junior Owen Quinn (2 goals), and senior draw specialist Leo Anthony who went toe-to-toe with Medfield's Johnny Olenik. 'He didn't allow [Olenik] to hurt us,' Puzzangara said. 'When he did win the draws, just defensively, we were so on-point with everything, with our slides, with our assignments, with our coverages. If we did have a little breakdown, [goaltender] Lydon O'Brien was there to bail us out with big saves.' Puzzangara and the Sailors return to the championship game with plenty of veterans who were a part of the squad that finished runner-up last year.

Musical celebration to mark 40 years of the Luke Kelly bridge this weekend
The celebration on Saturday, May 31, is being organised in association with Dublin City Council and will mark the bridge's connection to the folk musician. The Luke Kelly bridge spans the Tolka River and links Fairview to the city. On May 31, 1985, it was officially renamed from the Ballybough bridge. The renaming was backed by the late Tony Gregory TD, and its official opening was attended by then-Taoiseach Charlie Haughey, the Dubliners, Bertie Ahern and Michael D. Higgins. Musician and Luke Kelly tribute act, Chris Kavanagh, said: 'It's hard to believe it's been 40 years since they named a bridge after Luke. 'There is so much respect that people have for Luke that it's a real honour to be involved in the celebrations. 'Luke has not only been a huge inspiration to me, but to musicians everywhere,' he added. This weekend's musical celebration will be followed by a history talk with Sean Deegan of the Irish Tenement Museum and a prize giving ceremony to children. Luke's niece, Niamh Kelly, said the renaming of the bridge was a poignant tribute to her late uncle. 'As his niece, it is a great honour that Dublin is still celebrating the legacy of Luke, his music and how his voice and the songs he sang have crossed many generations, many seas and many oceans,' she said. The bridge is among a number of tributes to the Dubliner which are dotted around the city, including two statues positioned on both sides of the Liffey. The southside bronze statue is a lifesize, seated Luke Kelly, positioned on South King's Street. The second, a portrait head of the musician, is located beside the Royal Canal near his former Sheriff Street home. Both statues were unveiled in 2019. A Luke Kelly commemorative coin was also released in 2022, joining other iconic musicians including Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott and guitarist Rory Gallagher. The 40th anniversary celebration of the bridge comes off the back of the third year of the Luke Kelly festival, a free family event celebrating his life and legacy which took place in Smithfield Square. The festivities to mark 40 years since the renaming of Luke Kelly bridge will begin at 11.30am sharp on Saturday, May 31

Ralph McTell: 'The first time I played Cork was a bit of a disaster'
Ralph McTell has always had the wind in his hair. In 1962, as a 17-year-old, he hit the road, busking with his guitar around Europe. He didn't have a plan or know where he was going. He did buy a map before setting off, but it was in eight tattered pieces by the time he got to the south of France. It was a time when beatniks like himself hitchhiked everywhere because it was more 'noble'. 'I left home with a 10-shilling note inside the little pocket in my Levi jeans in case of an emergency,' says McTell. 'I had my guitar. The first time I had left home, I left with a blanket for image, but the second time I took a cheap sleeping bag. I hitchhiked on my own. I'd stay the night in places, have something to eat and move on. I had plans to get to India, but I only made it as far as Istanbul.' McTell is still on the road. As part of the celebrations for his 80th year, he's undertaking his biggest Irish tour yet, having first played in Ireland in Belfast in 1969, just as the Troubles were kicking off. He consistently returned to Northern Ireland when most of his peers sidestepped the war-torn region. In 1976, before one gig in Belfast, the audience gave him a standing ovation before he played a single note, just for turning up. McTell's maiden trip to Cork was anticlimactic. 'The first time I played Cork was at the Connolly Hall and I think there were 30 people there,' he says with a morbid chuckle. 'It was a bit of a disaster, but I'm delighted to say the last time I played there was at the Cork Opera House and it sold out. I've got some lovely friends down that way.' The legendary singer-songwriter shares a long friendship with the Dubliners, in particular with John Sheahan, and one-time member Jim McCann. McTell toured Australia at the same time as the group in 1975. His friendship with the late Luke Kelly goes back to the early 1960s, before McTell's professional music career took off. 'I first saw Luke Kelly in a folk club when I was quite young,' he says. 'Luke was a resident there. He was under the influence of Ewan MacColl and singers of that ilk, very left wing. I was interested mostly in simple country, old timey American music and banjos. Somebody said, 'Oh, there's this banjo player from Ireland up in north London.' I went to see him with a friend of mine. 'It was the first time I glimpsed what a passionate singer looks and sounds like. It was frightening – the way he delivered with no microphone, just the power of the voice and personality. He had a reputation of being a grumpy fella, but I always felt he had another life outside of music. "He was a deep thinker. Whenever I went to Dublin, I'd dig him out in his pub. He'd be sitting there with a heavy newspaper, a packet of Major cigarettes and a pint of stout. We were always pleased to see each other.' Luke Kelly was the first person McTell sent his song From Clare to Here to, one of the great ballads about Irish emigration. The song was released in 1976 – and has been covered by numerous artists, including Nanci Griffith – but its origins go back to an incident in the early 1960s when McTell was working as a labourer on a building site in south London. 'There was an Irish gang working on the site,' he says. 'There was one boy – I would say he was lying about his age, drawing men's wages – he was about 15. He was from rural Clare. Ralph McTell in London in 1975. Picture: Evening Standard/. "I never knew the town. I only ever knew him by his first name, and he probably had a different name for the [illegal] contract he was on. I tried to be a big brother to him. He was already getting locked into the Irish ghetto syndrome, where when you're away from home, you only stay with Irish lads, you drink your wages, and you have a hard time. 'We were digging a deep trench, down the bottom of this hole. I paused to roll a cigarette. I tried to make conversation. I said, 'It must be a bit odd for you, Michael, being over here, being from the country and all that.' "He answered by saying, 'Jaysus, it's a long way from Clare to here' and carried on digging. I always tell people if he had said, 'It's a long way from here to Clare' I would have accepted that and it would have gone, but because he put 'home' first, I knew in that little one-line poem that that's where his heart lay. In such moments, inspiration lies.' Ralph McTell will be performing at the Cork Opera House, 8pm, Sunday, May 11. See: Isle of Wight Festival 1970 The Isle of Wight festival in 1970 was the last of the three original festivals. The organisers expected around 150,000 to attend, but more than four times that arrived on the island. The Guinness Book of Records estimated the total attendance was between 600,000 and 700,000, more than attended Woodstock the previous year. Jimi Hendrix, who died a few weeks after the festival, was the star attraction on the bill. He was joined on stage by artists such as the Doors, the Who, Miles Davis, Leonard Cohen, Rory Gallagher and Joni Mitchell. Ralph McTell, who performed on the main stage on the festival's fifth and final day, wore his lucky shirt – a red tennis shirt he traded in Milan in 1965 for a set of strings – for the gig. Festival-goers heading to the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970. Picture: Evening Standard/. 'I was living out in Cornwall in an old battered caravan in a field when this gig came in,' says McTell. 'I no idea what I was walking into. I just turned up with the guitar. My manager arranged it all. He was in London. We met and went to the place. I could feel the atmosphere, an excitement like nothing I'd ever felt before, like the atmosphere at a boxing match – where there's a lot of energy flying about, not just from the ring, but from the people who go. 'I felt that with the people that were there. It was our festival. It was the end of something, rather than the beginning – it was the end of the dream because we all thought music and poetry was the way the world was going, but reality bit at the festival when some mob pushed the fences down and they declared it a free festival. My manager panicked, so I never got to see Jimi Hendrix. 'Kris Kristofferson was on before me. When I walked out on stage it was ridiculous – I had a stool and two microphones. I did a 45-minute set. "I don't remember anything about it except I got an encore and I couldn't get out to play it. Looking back, it was an important moment for me. I'm one of the festival's survivors. Recently, a mural was commissioned with those performers still alive. Hand prints were made and turned into an artwork.' Read More Matt Cranitch takes a bow for lifetime of musical achievement
