Two Generals football players, Taylor Drinkwater and Shane Jenkins, took the field on Friday night at Gillette Stadium for the North team.
Maybe the final score didn't turn out the way they would have wanted, but playing football on a June night on the gridiron made famous by the likes of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, wasn't a bad way to end a high school football career. The South All Stars topped the North All Stars, 15-12, in the 34th annual Shriner's Football Classic at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro Friday night. It was a surprisingly crisp and competitive game, considering that the players have only practiced together a handful of times and hadn't donned their football gear since - at the latest - last December. The two Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School Generals players on the team - Taylor Drinkwater and Shane Jenkins - last played in the Div. 2A Super Bowl at Manning …

Hamilton-Wenham enters the Div. 3 North sectional tournament as the sixth seed and will face Shawsheen on Tuesday night at the Regional.
Just because the Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School boys basketball team is accustomed to playing in the tournament, its first-round matchup Tuesday night is not a forgone conclusion. The Generals did capture the Cape Ann League Div. 2 title for the third straight season, but unlike the past two they do not enter the tourney as the top seed, and thus are not afforded a first-round bye.

Div. 1-leading North Andover Scarlet Knights were too much in the second half in a 71-58 loss for the Generals on Tuesday night.
A team that comes into your gym sporting a 14-1 record most likely has earned that lofty status. The Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School boys basketball team was well aware of the numbers visiting North Andover has attained, and how they did it. But despite hanging with the Cape Ann League Div. 1 leaders for a little more than half of the game, the Scarlet Knights used their size and team mentality to wear down the Generals in a 71-58 victory for the visitors on Tuesday night. “They’re a smart basketball team and when they play as a team with lots of ball movement it opens up (passing) lanes for them,” said senior guard Stephen Tam, who finished with 15 points. “I think we came out flat in the second half. It was tough to hang with them (…
