We couldn’t squeeze this into Friday’s newspaper, so here’s a capsule look at each of this weekend’s North Shore football matchups, starting with tonight’s games:
Intent on proving it’s a serious contender in 2009, Marblehead faces its first test against one of the Northeastern Conference’s big boys when Lynn Classical comes to Piper Field (7 p.m.). [...]
How much is the defense going to improve?
Peabody High’s offense doubled its production in terms of yards and points from its year under Dick Woodbury to Scott Wlasuk’s first campaign. It helped them win four games, and the Tanners scored 30 points in a game for the first time in three years.
The defense, especially in [...]

Gallo has played for the North Shore Navigators the last two seasons and is 3-1 with a 1.39 ERA this season. He struck out a [...]
Jeff Allison, the former first round draft pick out of Peabody High, threw in the Florida State League’s all-star game over the weekend.
The Jupiter Hammerheads righty tossed a scoreless inning and allowed one hit with one strikeout in Saturday’s all-star game, but his South squad fell to the North by a score of 6-4.
