BURLINGTON, Mass. – For the fourth straight year, St. John's Prep is the MIAA Division 1 champion.
In a high-scoring, closely-contested championship game on Saturday at Burlington High School, the top-seeded Eagles took down seventh-seeded Needham, 17-13, snuffing out that team’s Cinderella season.
With both offenses coming out swinging from the opening faceoff, St. John's Prep's experience and poise prevailed and shut down a late comeback bid by the Rockets.
But early in the game, things were not trending in the Eagles' direction.
