1. Dreams come true
Trapilo, who hails from Norwell, was taken in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-8-inch, 316-pound offensive lineman (with, yes, 33-inch arms) was selected by the Bears with the 56th overall pick.
Trapilo, who was ranked as the No. 2 prospect in Massachusetts in the Class of 2020, played four seasons at Boston College, earning All-ACC First Team honors while starting 12 games at right tackle. In all, he started 36 games for the Eagles, including all 12 as a junior, when he didn’t allow a sack in 363 dropback snaps.
His father, Steve Trapilo, who died in 2004 when Ozzy was 2, was an All-American offensive lineman for Boston College and later played in the NFL for the Saints and Patriots.

Stewart, a 6-foot-1-inch, 249-pound edge rusher out of Michigan, was selected 90th overall by the Rams.
A New York City native, Stewart played tight end and defensive end for the Crimson Tide and was ranked as a top-10 Massachusetts prospect in the Class of 2021 by ESPN, Rivals, and 247Sports.
A second-team All-Big Ten selection, Stewart totaled 8½ sacks, 13 tackles for a loss, and two forced fumbles in 11 games for the Wolverines in 2024, where he transferred after two seasons at Coastal Carolina.

2. Milestones and moments
The number of the day was 100, and that was most evident for Silver Lake boys’ lacrosse, which saw senior Noah Palleschi register his 100th point as part of a five-goal day, plus junior Cole Miller record his 100th career goal in a 17-9 victory over Newton South.
Dighton-Rehoboth’s Olivia Thibert also notched her 100th career goal, scoring five in a 21-6 defeat of Seekonk.
Pingree’s Jonah Richardson and Cole Reeves combined on a five-inning no-hitter for Pingree in a 14-1 win over Wheeler (R.I.).
3. Walk-off wins
Dighton-Rehoboth baseball, North Quincy baseball, St. Mary’s baseball, and Masconomet softball all won in their final at-bat.
The Falcons (5-2) beat Oliver Ames, 2-1, on Aidan Melo’s sacrifice fly, which plated Lucas LeTourneau, who had led off the inning with a triple.
For North Quincy, it was Jake Wirtz who supplied an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth to secure a 3-2 win over Franklin.
Jaiden Driscoll was the hero for St. Mary’s, lifting the Spartans past Pope Francis, 5-4, by knocking in the winning run in the bottom of the seventh.
In the Northeast Conference, Aimee Quimby sent a hit up the middle to score Sabrina Cafarelli in the eighth inning, completing a 1-0 Chieftans win over No. 11 Marblehead.
4. Three stars
Tyler Adamo, Lynnfield — The junior, who is committed to Columbia, enjoyed an explosive day at the dish, finishing with nine total bases, ripping three doubles and a triple, scoring four runs, and knocking in two as the Pioneers topped Triton, 10-3.
Gus Da Silva, Milford — The junior put down 29 kills, leading a Scarlet Hawks offense that also got big contributions from Diego Inacio-Santos (19 kills) and Sam Abreu (17) in a 3-2 win over Cambridge.
Tom Crowley and Elizabeth McNaught, Whitman-Hanson — They may have played in different games, but the two pitchers were linked by their no-hitters. Crowley, a senior, struck out 14 and walked none as he threw the baseball team’s first no-hitter in at least three seasons, beating New Bedford, 7-0. McNaught, a sophomore, walked six, but didn’t allow a hit while striking out nine in a 2-0 win over Abington.
5. Going, going, gone
Junior Kiley Hogan cracked home runs in the fifth and seventh innings for Tyngsborough in a 13-6 loss to Tewksbury, giving her five longballs on the season, Revere’s Jordan Martelli and Frankie Reed both homered, Lexington’s Sofia Flores and Sophia Glavine went back-to-back, and Milton Academy’s Sadie Patel and Hannah Crowley added blasts.
The rest of the day’s homers belonged to: Pentucket’s Evelyn Howell, Apponequet’s Lucas Tremblay, Gloucester’s Emma Carrapichosa, Methuen’s Colleen McNamara, Silver Lake’s Mady Bryan, Malden’s Devin Otero Milonopoulos, Melrose’s Dylan Harrington, and Foxborough’s Ben Angelini.
