Dunston leads Salem seniors in their final Thanksgiving game.
Quarterback Christian Dunston led the Salem Witch's onto the field at Hurd Stadium in Beverly yesterday for the 114th Thanksgiving Day game between Salem and the Beverly Panthers. Beverly jumped out quickly and dominated for much of the game with a big name offense led by Senior Brendan Flaherty. The undefeated Panthers put four touchdowns on the board before Salem's Christian Dunston managed to connect in the end zone with Ben Sattiewhite with 4:45 left in the game. The Witch's defense then recovered a Beverly fumble with 3:45 remaining on the clock. Dunston and Sattiewhite converted that opportunity into another Salem score bringing Salem to within two touchdowns at 28-14. The resilient Salem team continued its efforts until time ran out…

A new state law may allow youth and high school soccer players to wear protective padded headbands during games.
If you're a fan of professional football, you've probably noticed an increased concern regarding concussions and the longterm affects they can have on athletes. And while the recent campaign to prevent concussions may be most visible during a New England Patriots game, the push to prevent concussions among youth soccer players is creating a buzz among sports organizations across the Commonwealth. In the coming weeks, state lawmakers will vote on a bill, being forwarded by the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts, that would allow youth and high school soccer players to wear protective headbands during games. The light-weight padded headbands are meant to protect the top of a player's head from high-speed impacts and wearing them …

The Boston Red Sox fired Valentine after an unsuccessful year at Fenway Park.
The Boston Red Sox have fired manager Bobby Valentine after the team experienced the worst season in decades. In fact, the 69-93 record was the team’s worst since 1965 and the first time the team has finished last in the American League East in more than a decade. Valentine’s one season at Fenway Park was full of losses and run-ins with players. Valentine, who led the New York Mets to the World Series in 2000, followed Terry Francona, a fan favorite who was dismissed a year ago after taking the team to two World Series titles. We want to hear from you: Do you agree with the call? Was Valentine to blame for this year's horrible record? Who or what kind of manager would you like to see at Fenway Park?

Tuesday, August 14, 2012
Editor's' Note: Lorraine Allison submitted this fictional piece to the Red Sox when they broke the Curse. Red Sox President Larry Luchino responded to the letter. Allison submitted it to us to remember Johnny Pesky who died on Monday. Cloud #9 Yawkey Way Fenway Heaven Dear Johnny, Honest kid, we didn’t mean to rain on your parade on Saturday. It’s just that The Sultan of Swat got so carried away with your great win, why he turned on the waterworks. And before we knew it, Ruth and myself, why we were all spoutin’ out tears of joy. Since heaven needs no hardwood, our tears dripped through the fuzzy cloud floors of my condo onto your day of glory. Consider it a baptism, kid. Especially now that the curse has been reversed. Now, I know …
What will you remember most about Pesky?
As news swept over Salem and the North Shore of Johnny Pesky's passing Monday, it seemed like everyone had a story. Some bumped into him at the Red Sox where he was a permanent presence. We've also heard he was quite the regular back in the day at the Salem Diner, and in 2009 he received an honorary degree from Salem State. Share what you remember most and how you will remember him in our comments as we look back on this legend's life.

Cyclists took to the streets around Salem Common Wednesday evening at the Witches Cup.
Rider Luke Keough took the Witches Cup Men's Elite race crown at Salem Common Wednesday for the second year in a row. Keough, who resides in Sandwich, Mass. is only 20 years old.
