Heather Diehl for the Boston Glo Junior goalie Mattheus Du Plessis produced 16 saves behind stellar play from Wilmot, Jack Weissenburger, and Nick Schibli, but Prep's offense stalled down the stretch, as top-seeded BC High clawed back with a pair of dramatic goals from Murphy Belvin and Nick Emsing (3 goals) in the final minute to force overtime.

Heather Diehl for the Boston Glo Both Kelly and Wilmot had older brothers star for Prep during a dynastic run that now includes 53 straight wins against in-state competition.

Like Kelly's brother, Mike, and Sam Wilmot's brother, Charlie, both graduated in 2021, winning title as seniors 'From day one, this is our goal,' said Wilmot, who is committed to Richmond. 'Obviously we take it one step at a time, but we try to max out the days every year. We remember how good this feels and that's why we work all year for it.' BC High and St. John's Prep couldn't have been closer this season, twice going to overtime.

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.' Senior FOGO Will Crawford (16 for 19 on faceoffs) set the table by winning seven of the first nine faceoffs, and Prep's ride and defense limited the Warriors (15-5) on offense with sophomore Mattheus Du Plessis making six saves during a 7-1 first half.

'If a guy wants to show up and be committed to what we're doing, then we're going to make a commitment to having him here, and that's been a core part of our success,' Pynchon said.

The top-seeded Eagles (19-3) held serve Wednesday night at Burlington High with a 14-11 win over fifth-seeded Acton-Boxboro (17-4) in the Division 1 semifinals, setting up yet another matchup with Catholic Conference rival St. John's Prep (21-1) for the state championship (Saturday at Mass Maritime). BC High's David Leahy of BC High celebrates his goal against Acton-Boxborough. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff Prep has beaten BC High in 13 of their past 15 meetings, including thrice in the state finals from 2021-2023, and in the semifinals last June. 'There's no pressure on us,' Craigwell said about the impending matchup. 'We just have to play our game, play with confidence, and execute what we've done in practice.' End 3: BC High 11, Acton-Boxboro 8. Will Cronin scored twice in the final mins including here off the rebound, keeping A-B within striking distance. — Nate Weitzer (@nweitzer7) 'We haven't finished the job, so that's always in the back of our minds. Playing Prep is like playing a conference opponent in [the NFL]. Regardless of the [records], everyone shows up, and it can go either way.' BC High took an early 5-0 lead and held off multiple runs from A-B in the semifinals.

Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff The Eagles high-powered offense proved too much, as Luke Allen (3 goals, assist), Joe Leach (4 goals, assist), and Nick Emsing (3 goals, 2 assists) dazzled with several highlight goals and deft connections to beat the Revolution defense. 'We couldn't ask for a better team to prepare us for the final game,' said Craigwell. 'A-B is well coached, they weren't going to give up, so it was the best preparation we could have. Our offense needed to win the game and our offense did.'

'They're a good team, but you knew we could do it,' Mulvey said. 'We knew we could win from the jump, so that's all we had to do.' Wicken said the team treats him like anyone else even though he's a sophomore, and he played like it. He sniped a thin angle shot to tie it, 1-1, and scored the last goal of the first half and first of the second to help the Rockets surge to a 9-8 lead. 'It's an awesome feeling,' Wicken said. 'We worked so hard all season for this, and that's a great team that we just punched in the mouth so many times. They punched back so many times.'

Advertisement Billerica 10, Mansfield 7 — Daniel Venezia, who scored three goals, broke a 6-6 tie midway through the third quarter with a firecracker into the back of the net to ignite the top-seeded Indians (21-1). In its three previous playoff victories, Billerica had scored 19 goals, 21 goals, and 11 goals. So when its attack slowed midway through the semifinal against fifth-seeded Mansfield (20-2), there didn't appear to be any concern.

Venezia provided the spark at Assabet High in Marlborough to send Billerica to its first title game appearance since 2001. 'We've been battle-tested all year. We knew we were going to be in for a fight. Watching Mansfield on film, they were good, man – really, really good,' said Billerica coach Ryan Nickerson. 'We knew we were in for a battle, and it wasn't going to be an easy one. We knew the offense was going to break through, and it just took until the fourth.' Billerica's Daniel Venezia celebrates a goal with two teammates. Evan Walsh Division 3 State Scituate 11, Medfield 9 — Junior midfielder Luke Spaulding scored four goals to lead the fifth-seeded Sailors (18-5) in an upset of the defending champion and top-seeded Warriors (18-3). Haunted by a 13-4 loss against Medfield in last year's state tournament, Scituate coach Mark Puzzangara trusted his players were capable of defying the odds and competing against a well-organized and powerful Warriors team. Advertisement 'We didn't have any credit or any chance to beat this team,' said Puzzangara, whose team will face fifth-seeded Falmouth in the Division 3 state championship at Mass Maritime Academy. '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. 'I couldn't be more proud of how we played as a team,' Puzzangara said of Scituate's semifinal upset of Medfield. 'That's really what it came down to, [us] playing as a team.' Falmouth 14, Nauset 3 — At Barnstable, Travis Smith and Jamison Murphy each scored four goals. Jackson Smith added three, the first coming 80 seconds into the game. 'When we start strong and start fast, it gives us a ton of confidence' said Falmouth head coach Rory Morse. Advertisement Sophomore Gavin Powderly made 10 saves for the Clippers. Senior captain Jacob Porkka was key to the Clippers dominant defensive effort. Nauset was without star midfielder Logan Smith, a one-time Vermont lacrosse commit, who was attending the United States Hockey League camp in Wisconsin. The Clippers (18-5) will play fifth-seeded Scituate for the Division 3 state championship at Mass Maritime Academy. Division 4 State Cohasset 11, Nantucket 2 — junior captain Gus Greene scored three goals to pace the top-seeded Skippers (20-2) in a semifinal at Barnstable High. In total, four players netted multiple goals. Michael Wildfire was sound defensively. Senior captain Lincoln Pattison made timely saves in the third quarter as Cohasset smothered the fourth-seeded Whalers (15-6) with 10 combined goals in a blowout second and third quarters to reach the state championship game at Mass Maritime Academy. The Skippers, who will be making their first title game appearance since 2023, will face third-seeded Norwell in the championship. After battling to a 1-1 tie in the first 12 minutes, the Skippers controlled the game in the middle two quarters, outscoring the defending champions, 10-0, in that span. 'We've got some great athletes on [defense],' said Cohasset coach Steve Rotondi. 'I thought the kids did a great job today going out and doing everything we worked on.' Norwell 15, Manchester Essex 6 — Dictating the tempo from start to finish, the third-seeded Clippers (16-6) coasted to a state semifinal victory over the seventh-seeded Hornets(17-5) at Watertown. From the opening draw, Norwell was in complete control, opening with a 5-0 run in the first five minutes before the Hornets scored their first goal. The second quarter saw an exchange of runs, with the Clippers' fire-at-will attack producing a pair of goals for a 7-1 lead. The Hornets answered with three goals to pull within 7-4, but Norwell pulled away by erupting for three more goals for a 10-4 lead. 'These guys did a great job stepping up, taking away what [Norwell] wanted to do, and moving the ball quickly on offense,' said coach Josh Stolp. Norwell dominated the second half, outscoring the Hornets, 5-2, to seal the victory. Norwell back-to-back Division 3 championships in 2022 and 2023, and is making its first Division 4 title game appearance. Captains Jake McGuirk and Oliver Rice notched multi-goal games to relishanother ride to the state title game against a familiar foe in top-seeded Cohasset. '[Cohasset's] a good team, so we're looking forward to it,' said McGuirk, recalling how the Clippers suffered a 12-11 loss to Cohasset May 17. 'We're definitely hungry, but we know what we have ahead of us.'

Keita Takahashi returns with the whimsically weird To a T
From the worm-like character stretching to the length of the planetary system in Noby Noby Boy, to the tiny Prince hoarding a spherical mass of objects and even buildings in Katamari Damacy, the heroes of Keita Takahashi's games reflect the creator's whimsical vision. To a T is yet another Takahashi title that fits that playful tradition, well, to a tee. The protagonist is a young teen, aptly named Teen, whose body is permanently stuck in a T-pose. But while they may be able to wiggle their fingers a little or move their wrists to reach out for an item, their elbows are woefully nonexistent. That's okay, though! Like most of Takahashi's games, To a T is also a heartwarming tale about self-acceptance. Prep, an indie pop band from England, even composed an infectious, chirpy theme song for the game about already being the perfect shape, no matter what you look like. In a world where elbows are very much an accessory to daily life, Teen has to go through some pretty unconventional routines due to their irreversibly stiff arms. For one thing, Teen can't put on clothes, use the toilet, or even dry their face on their own. Even walking down the street can be a little cumbersome, since their outstretched arms mean they may inadvertently slap their hands into another passerby. Fortunately for Teen, they have a trusty sidekick — a dog named Dog — who's more than eager to help them navigate these tasks. Take washing your face, which can initially be an unfamiliar affair. As Teen, you'll need to twist your upper body, reaching your hand toward the tap — one that's uniquely designed for Teen's predicament — and lower your head, so the stream of water spurts upward to your face. Then, you'll hold your position until your face is clean and free of persistent eye boogers. Brushing your teeth is another fiddly routine. This is done by reaching for a toothbrush with a particularly long handle, getting Dog's help in squirting a bit of toothpaste on it, and then scrubbing your teeth until they're squeaky clean. But these activities aren't designed to be tedious; you aren't carefully calibrating every small movement like you would in physics games like Bennett Foddy's QWOP and Getting Over It. Instead, these are simply different sorts of routines you'll need to get used to. When your arms are resolutely perpendicular to your body, these activities are just all in a day's work. They're also genuinely joyful, even if the movements can appear superfluous. Rinsing your mouth is a matter of wriggling the analog stick or direction keys and then pressing another button to spit the water out into the sink. But you can also shake your head while doing that, so that your spit will trickle out like a meandering, miniature waterfall. Using the toilet allows you to mash several buttons, just so you can listen to Teen huffing and grunting as they go about their business behind closed doors. There's really no point to doing so other than giggling at these sights and sounds, but it's such a delightful way of prodding at the game's inherent silliness. That's the beauty behind To a T — it has zero pretensions about the kind of game it's trying to be. In fact, To a T later informs you that you can skip any of these routines if you like. Want to eat breakfast without brushing your teeth right after? If you can tolerate seeing green gunk stuck on your teeth for the rest of the day, go right ahead. The game isn't going to penalize you for skipping teeth brushing for a day — or two. To a T is chockful of such diminutive joys. Breakfast consists of cereal and flavored milk every day, such as chocolate, matcha, and mango, and there's a small thrill in discovering what these mixtures would taste like to Teen. In one meal, Teen commented that the cereal tasted like rubbery tires, and in another it was an explosion of strange, candy flavors. Regardless of the taste, they welcomed every mouthful of these sugary treats with gusto. Exploring the neighborhood, particularly on weekends, feels especially liberating, as your day is seemingly filled with endless possibilities for fun. Eateries offer minigames in the form of speed-eating contests, as you devour a giant corn on the cob and even hailstorms of ice cream. There are coins to collect and discover among the shrubberies and rooftops, new shops to look at, and fascinating locales — from a lighthouse to a magical mushroom forest — to get lost in. Even attending school was an adventure, even though Teen was largely reluctant to head to class in his first few days due to relentless bullying, a problem that does get resolved. Eventually, Teen discovers an innate talent for flying. By spinning on their toes like a ballerina, they gain the ability to traverse higher grounds. This skill does have a bit of a learning curve, however. As it turns out, flying isn't particularly intuitive, and it took me several tries to get my feet off the ground. But as with most gimmicks in To a T, failing isn't really that big of a deal-breaker. You're free to wander around town however you prefer, be it flying, running, or riding a unicycle. As you delve deeper into the game, To a T spins an increasingly ludicrous-yet-charming tale, one that Takahashi himself has referred to as being rather 'stupid' in an interview. Having finished the game, I can attest that one of its final moments is, indeed, almost irredeemably nonsensical. Yet it also made me crack a really wide smile, something I haven't done while playing games in a while. Playing and making games amid a politically fraught climate may seem frivolous, and this is an issue that Takahashi mentioned he was struggling with when he was working on his previous game, Wattam. But To a T 's central message of acceptance, and of finding joy in life's smallest moments, feels like a salve for these trying times. At the very least, its positivity gave me the impetus to keep trudging on — hopefully it'll do the same for you, too. To a T launches on May 28th on the PS5, Xbox, and PC.

Bob Anthony Parkway relocation project plans move forward
RIDGELAND, Miss. (WJTV) – Plans are moving forward to relocate Bob Anthony Parkway. The Northside Sun reported environmental assessment, design and construction plans are expected to be completed by mid-summer 2025. The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded the Pearl River Valley Water Supply District (PRVWSD) a $2.8 million grant in September 2020 to use for planning the project. Bob Anthony Parkway is the section of Spillway Road that is located near the Ross Barnett Reservoir. Mississippi governor declares 2025 Hurricane Prep Week PRVWSD leaders told WJTV 12 News in 2022 that there are no issued with the roadway physically, but leaders said the road is near frequent construction and recreational activities, which could pose as a safety concern for drivers and citizens nearby. The project consists of moving both roadways off the dam and relocating them downstream in the wooded areas below. Moving the existing roadways on the dam will also create the an opportunity for the roads to be turned into recreational facilities. Currently, each roadway has a bicycle lane adjacent to it. Once the road is moved, cyclists won't have to worry about drivers speeding past them. All proposed relocations for the roadway are parallel to the south from 150 to 400 feet from the dam in the area. The anticipating cost for the project is estimated at $150 million.
