"Taunton has hired former Franklin coach and current athletic director Brad Sidwell as its new football coach. Sidwell, who recently stepped down as football coach, will finish out the school year as Franklin AD.
Sidwell replaces Chris Greding at the helm of the Tigers, who posted a 1-10 overall record this past Fall. Sidwell spent 20 years as the head coach of the Panthers before stepping down this past December.
“This wasn’t something I was thinking about it initially but the more I talked with Taunton administrators, I became more intrigued and more impressed with everything about them,” Sidwell told HockomockSports.com “The more we talked, the more excititing it was for me to keep coaching and get to a new place.

"Coming off of opiates is indescribably awful, Kerriann Kilcoyne said, like no flu non-addicts have experienced before. The best explanation she could think of for the feeling is like an exorcism - something awful ripping through your body. And that, Kilcoyne said, is how it feels in the ideal setting for detox, a treatment facility with nurses, comfortable beds and medication. In prison, she said, it’s even worse.
Detoxing from heroin in prison is one thing when you’ve committed a crime, Kilcoyne said. Section 35 of Massachusetts General Law Chapter 123, however, allowed a judge to mandate women who had never been convicted of a crime to come off drug or alcohol addiction in prison at MCI-Framingham if all the addiction treatment beds in the state were full. While some women are sent to the Women’s Addiction Treatment Center in New Bedford, where people civilly committed under Section 35 are intended to go and receive care and treatment for their disease, others were locked in MCI-Framingham where Sen. Karen Spilka said the treatment was lacking."
"Before voting to name South Field after Maddie Lamson, School Committee member Rich Eustis, whose daughter was close friends with Lamson, said students deserve tributes and honors after they pass, much like war veterans, public officials and teachers regularly receive.
“I think there ought to be a place for a student too,” he said in a prepared, lengthy speech stating his case one last time before the committee brought the proposal to a vote. “Maddie did give her lifetime – it was just tragically short.”
