The electorate itself is also growing. Nearly 160,000 voters have been added to the rolls since February 2025, according to the data. That means there are…

Dae’Quan Wright was on the field warming up with the Cleveland Browns before their preseason game last weekend. Three days later, he cleared NFL waivers with plans to return to college and play for LSU.Then the SEC essentially told him no.The Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and ACC all moved this week to prevent athletes who crossed into professional sports from returning to compete in their conferences. That makes perfect sense. The NFL should be the Rubicon.Declare for the draft, sign an NFL contract and join an NFL roster, and your college career should be over.That part is easy.The harder…

Barbs and taunts aren’t the only things that go back and forth when Oklahoma high school football rivals play. Rivalry traveling trophies add to the shine.

Disclaimer: Cambridge Day does not endorse candidates or positions. Views expressed in this column are those of the writer. Massachusetts politicians love talking about democracy. They love reminding voters how sacred the process is, how important participation is, and how deeply they value every voice.
