Christian Ferrara provides lift for Western Mass. athletes

Image
When Christian Ferrara first came to Springfield Central in 2014, he could not believe his eyes, and not in a good way. "The whole culture in the city (was bad)," Ferrara said. "How in a city this big with all these special athletes and you're not pumping out Division 1 after Division 1 athletes? We have all these studs here, why aren't we pumping out more Division 1 athletes?" A former 38-game starter at nose tackle for Syracuse in the late 1990s, early 2000s, Ferrara came up to Massachusetts in 2012 to help a friend open up some gyms on the East Coast. But when he began his stint as a strength and conditioning coach at Central along with his work at the alternative school there, Ferrara knew he had to start from the ground up when it came to getting the most out of the talent. "They didn't know how to program their athletes properly in the weight room," said Ferrara, who trains athletes all over Western Mass. now, including East Longme...

Q&A with Deerfield OL Joe LoChiatto

WESTFIELD — Last Saturday, Excel Sports Academy hosted a showcase for local athletes in front of dozens of college coaches. One of the best performers on the day 6-foot-2, 292-pound interior offensive lineman Joe LoChiatto . The Agawam native is transferring to Deerfield Academy, where he will repeat his sophomore year in 2019. In one-on-one reps against some of the top linemen in Western Mass., Connecticut, and other parts of New England, LoChiatto did not lose one rep. LoChiatto's assets include his strong hands, initial punch, and ability to maintain control once he gets his hands on you. According to ESA strength trainer Christian Ferrara, LoChiatto can dead lift 500 pounds five times without breaking a sweat, and said the lineman could get to 15 if he wanted, but Ferrara did not want to push it. We were initially skeptical of the claim until Ferrara showed us the video of LoChiatto doing just that. Needless to say, LoChiatto is someone to keep an eye on going forward. ...

Boston College star Lukas Denis, seen with a mother's love, stern eye

Image
By Adam Kurkjian Ketlie Denis was running late Saturday to meet up with a reporter about her son, Lukas, at Somerville's Southern Kin Code House on Assembly Row. Behind the bar, there was an American flag painted on the bricklay behind crossed wood and between the liquor display. It played country music and served items like Louisiana Grandad Gumbo, Chicken and Waffles, and Farmhouse Buttermilk Biscuits. But, like most places in Somerville these days, it was populated by more of a gentrified, hipster-ish crowd. Roughly a half an hour late, Ketlie arrived, profusely apologized and wanted to know immediately about the scrimmage from earlier that day. Then she asked about how Lukas performed earlier that afternoon.  He dropped an interception, but one of his former teammates from Everett High, Jason Maitre, made a diving pass breakup toward the end of the live portion. She beamed ("Jason is like his little brother"). She has never missed a single...
