Sweet 16: Xaverian’s breakthrough

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:11:47 GMT

The reaction of Xaverian players in the final seconds Friday night told the entire story.Having seen Springfield Central destroy them in back-to-back postseasons as well as a regular season loss in September, the Hawks finally got their moment. They made just enough plays on both sides of the ball to escape with a hard-fought 21-20 win and a berth in the Div. 1 state semifinals.“I think there was a combination of getting some revenge and some relief,” Xaverian coach Al Fornaro said of his team’s postgame exuberation. “They really felt cheated that they lost the first game (44-41), they felt like they didn’t do enough to win the game.”Successful seasons at Xaverian are not measured by win and losses as much as Super Bowl titles. Even with the annual lofty expectations, Fornaro felt he had a returning group fully capable of embracing those goals.“We really have a group of very mature young men,” Fornaro said. “At the end of last season, they realized that they didn’t...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:11:47 GMT

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s main opposition party suffered a split Sunday when a left-wing faction announced it was breaking away, accusing the party’s recently elected leader of abandoning its core ideology for a sort of “right-wing populism.”Umbrella, a faction led by Euclid Tsakalotos, a former Finance Minister during Syriza’s government of 2015-19, announced its departure with a blistering statement that accused party leader Stefanos Kasselakis of “Trumpian practices (and) right-leaning populism.”The once-dominant party has been in disarray ever since its resounding defeat by conservative New Democracy in double elections in May and June.Already in opposition since 2019, Syriza had hoped to regain power. Instead, it was roundly disavowed, falling in the most recent election to 17.8%, compared to New Democracy’s 40.6%, a result that led longtime leader Alexis Tsipras to announce his resignation.The split, which came after weeks of withering criticism of the leader from w...
