Preseason non-PG NEPSAC All-State teams

This is a position-by-position list of, in our opinion, the top players who compete for non-post-graduate NEPSAC teams in the state. In other words, this list does not include players from Massachusetts on teams from other states because we had to narrow the scope somewhat.

Since we are only doing two teams here, a lot of very good players at certain positions did not make the cut. These are very difficult decisions, and many of the players who don't appear here will be highlighted over the course of the season. Again, as we said with our MIAA list, please do not perceive any of these placements or lack thereof as "disrespect." We respect every player who straps on the pads.

Without further ado, our teams.

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

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

Q&A with Dennis-Yarmouth WR Geoffrey Jamiel

HANOVER — Only a sophomore, Dennis-Yarmouth wide receiver Geoffrey Jamiel has already made his mark as one of the top players in the state at his position. At Sunday's MASS ELITE 7v7 Underclassmen Showcase at the Starland Sportsplex, Jamiel again displayed the attributes that make him so tough to cover. Not only does the 5-foot-8, 150-pounder have good speed and quickness, but his route-running skills, body control, and hands never disappoint. We spoke to Jamiel for a few minutes after the event. Here is an edited version of that conversation. MassVarsity: How many times have you been to showcases like this? Geoffrey Jamiel: Over the summer I went to the New England Elite Clinic. But, since then, I haven't really gone . . . I've gone to more private ones, like one days for colleges. But this is my first showcase, kind of, with a bunch of other kids. MV: Obviously, you had another great year, and today really stood out again. What kind of feedback are you getting
