Hanover High boys rugby caps dominant season with state title
MILTON — The Hanover High boys rugby won one of the inaugural rugby titles in 2017 when it was adopted as an official MIAA sport. The road to a second one has been arduous. That is until Saturday, June 14, when the Hawks left no doubt who the best team in Div. 2 is with a 59-7 win over Brookline at Curry College. Advertisement "We've had some strong teams over the years but this is hands down the most talented,' said Hanover coach Andrew McLean. 'Today was as close to perfect as we've been all season.' Hanover has reached the state semifinals every single tournament since 2017, including three losses in the final. This season, the Hawks finish 0-0 while outscoring opponents 404-69. Hanover never allowed more than 14 points in a single and the Hawks won their two playoff games by a score of 113-12. On Saturday it was all Hawks from start to finish. Lochlan Garvey started the scoring with a try four minutes into play. He converted all but two of his conversion kicks and had a pair of passes to spring teammates Camden Scott and Daniel McAvay for tries late in the second half.

McLean substituted Aidan Boutin and John Keegan late so the crowd could acknowledge them for stellar four-year careers. Hanover High School captains Aidan Boutin, Lochlan Garvey and Juneau Mofford hold the state championship trophy as they celebrate at the conclusion of their championship game against Brookline High School at Curry College on Saturday, June 14, 2025. Love'on Flowers, a senior flanker, scored a pair of tries. David Bonilla and Juneau Mofford each had one try. Matthew Ellerby, a junior, was the only non-senior to score for the Hawks. 'I can't overstate what a big class that's been for the whole program,' said McLean, who said that most of his 17 seniors will continue to play rugby in college. One senior who did not play but his importance cannot be overlooked is Noah Balewicz. He was diagnosed with lymphoma at the start of the season and has not suited up this spring as he undergoes treatment.

"He doesn't like the limelight so I probably just embarrassed him,' said McLean. 'He's doing great but any cancer treatment takes its toll on you. We're so happy he could be here today.' Balewicz also played football and competed in wrestling. 'As the season has gone on and we've found out how well he's been doing with his treatment and with how strong he's been, it's morphed more into inspiration,' said McLean. 'We just wanted to give him a little something from the team even though he's not playing, he's always part of the team.'

Rays owner in ‘advanced talks' to sell MLB franchise for $1.7 billion
The Rays revealed Wednesday that owner Stu Sternberg is in 'advanced talks' to sell the team. The potential deal values the MLB club at $1.7 billion with a group led by Jacksonville homebuilder Patrick Zalupski having executed a letter of intent to purchase the club, per Sportico. 'The Tampa Bay Rays announced that the team has recently commenced exclusive discussions with a group led by Patrick Zalupski, Bill Cosgrove, Ken Babby and prominent Tampa Bay investors concerning a possible sale of the team,' the team said in a statement. 'Neither the Rays nor the group will have further comment during the discussions.' 3 Rays' Junior Caminero runs the bases after his double off Miami Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera. AP The Rays perennially have one of the smallest payrolls in Major League Baseball but have been one of the most successful teams since 2008, with the third-highest winning percentage in that time. Only the Yankees and the Dodgers have a higher win percentage. Sternberg, principal owner of the franchise, purchased the Rays in 2004 for $200 million, but has faced mounting pressure to sell the team in recent years. According to The Athletic, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred and other owners have been attempting to persuade Sternberg to sell. The Rays have spent considerable time trying to build a new stadium to replace Tropicana Field. They had a deal in place to begin building a new 30,000-capacity stadium as part of a mixed-use development in the Historic Gas Plant District in downtown St. Petersburg. 3 Patrick Zalupski is the founder, chairman and CEO of Dream Finders Homes, a Florida-based homebuilder.

Currently, the Rays are unable to play at Tropicana Field after the stadium sustain massive damage from Hurricane Milton in October 2024. They are instead playing out of George M. Steinbrenner field in Tampa, which is the site of the Yankees' spring training facility and home of their High-A club. A Rays sale would be MLB's third franchise to change hands in recent years. In 2020, the Mets were sold to Steve Cohen, and, in 2024, a group led by David Rubenstein bought the Orioles. The news of the franchise's potential sale came just hours before ESPN reported the majority share of the NBA's Lakers being sold to Mark Walter, owner of MLB's Dodgers, in a $10 billion deal.

Tampa Bay Rays say they are in talks for a potential sale amid stadium uncertainty
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays say they are in 'exclusive discussions' with a Florida investment group for a potential sale of the team. The Rays are valued at $1.25 billion, according to Forbes magazine. Stuart Sternberg bought the Major League Baseball club for $200 million in 2004. 'The Tampa Bay Rays announced that the team has recently commenced exclusive discussions with a group led by Patrick Zalupski, Bill Cosgrove, Ken Babby and prominent Tampa Bay investors concerning a possible sale of the team,' the club said Wednesday while declining further comment. The potential sale comes at a precarious time for the Rays and their home ballpark. They are playing this season at the spring training home of the New York Yankees in Tampa after the roof of Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg was heavily damaged during Hurricane Milton last October. Before the hurricane, the Rays and the city had agreed on a plan for a $1.3 billion stadium development project next to Tropicana Field. In March, Sternberg said the club was withdrawing from that agreement. St. Petersburg is spending about $55 million to repair Tropicana Field with a plan for the Rays to return there in 2026. The city and the club have a three-year agreement to play there. Beyond that, the club's future in the Tampa Bay area is uncertain. When the Rays withdrew from the project, the city noted that it was possible the club would have new owners. 'If in the coming months a new owner, who demonstrates a commitment to honoring their agreements and our community priorities emerges, we will consider a partnership to keep baseball in St. Pete,' Mayor Ken Welch said in March. 'But we will not put our city's progress on hold as we await a collaborative and community-focused baseball partner.' ___
