A.M. Briefing
- Good news: There are some interesting discussions taking place in the comments section of Andover News. Bad news: Some of these conversations are getting ugly. I will delete any comments that include personal attacks, profanity, or misinformation. I am also deleting comments where people are using a pseudonym to comply with the Andover News policy to not use unnamed sources in news coverage. If the problem persists, I will be forced to block users who repeatedly break these guidelines.
- Andover will hold its Veterans Day Ceremony on the Ballardvale Green (Andover and Center Streets) at 11:11 a.m. today (more info).
- The Town has scheduled a series of virtual and in-person special town meeting information sessions (schedule and more information).
- Coverage of the Andover teachers strike will be available to all readers free of charge, regardless of subscription status.
- AHS football broke open its quarter-final game in the MIAA Division I tournament with two first-quarter touchdowns in less than three minutes on route to a 26-14 win over Weymouth Thursday. Junior quarterback Dom Papa threw for 177 yards and added 29 on 10 rthe ground. “At the beginning of the year, no one picked us, no one was pointing at our superstars. We do have them,” coach E.J. Perry told the Boston Globe. The Warriors (9-1) will play the winner of Friday night's game between B.C. High and top-seeded St. John's Prep -- the team that ended last year's post-season run.
