He did not hesitate to accept the challenge to smoke jump into spring practices and guide the Gators’ wideouts.Wife, Julie, and 17-year-old daughter, Caylynn, didn’t have wait long for Gonzales to rejoin them with a new job in hand.“It was extremely fast,” he said of his decision. “I was rea...

That was a big (moment) last year. I don’t think we’ve beaten Acton-Boxboro since I’ve been at St. John’s. We played at Beverly a lot, pretty sure we lost to them in the playoffs in the North semis I think, and then we lost last year. I think this is the first win over A-B in s...
