Regardless of how "Deflategate" turns out, Kennedy said she expects to see some rule changes in the NFL when it comes to control over the footballs. Classical High football coach Tim Phelps isn't convinced the Patriots will win the game, but he does think the football controversy will provide the team some added motivation. "It seems to me like they're going to kind of rally around Belichick," Phelps said. "It could be good motivation." Phelps said if the Patriots can circle the wagons, and he thinks Belichick is a coach who can make that happen, then the players will buy in and be super focused." Phelps said the Seahawks are scary in their ability to cover you and come after you and Wilson's ability to scramble for some big yards is also problematic. He's expecting a close game. Lynn Tech football coach James Runner said this year's Super Bowl could be one of the better ones. He said no matter how things unfold in the first half, both teams have the ability to change things up and that can make for an interesting third quarter. Runner, who is predicting a Patriots' win, said Seattle is a great offensive team, but Green Bay exposed the defense a little bit. "I'm really excited to see the Patriots there (in the Super Bowl) again," Runner said. Although he had hoped for a New England - Dallas matchup, he just wants to see the Pats come away with a win. "I'm a big fan of Vince Wilfork," Runner said. " I would love to see him go out with a ring." Runner said when he coached football at Dean College from 2005 to 2009, Wilfork, who lived near the school, would sometimes come to the practices and do defensive line drills with the players. Runner was a defensive line coach and later a defensive coordinator at Dean. "Vince was a big supporter of the football team," Runner said. English High athletic director Gary Molea had reservations about the Patriots after seeing them get blown out by Kansas City early in the season, but every week after that the Patriots got better and better. "I expect it's going to be a great game," Molea said. "I said about a month ago the only team I was afraid of was Seattle." Molea said the Seahawks don't score a lot of points, but when they get the ball and they're in a rhythm, it's tough to get the ball back. Molea is picking the Patriots to win, but he's expecting a really close, low-scoring game. He said he wouldn't be surprised if the Pats built up a good lead, but find keeping it a challenge.

As for "Deflategate," Molea said it will be a motivating factor because Belichick's players always rally to his defense. "They feel like they've been pushed and will respond in a positive way," Molea said.

"They failed because I had nothing to say, or the story wasn't as interesting as I thought it was going to be," said. "It took a couple of years to write a book that i liked." Dunn started writing "Loss of Words" in December 2013 and finished it about six months later. The toughest part of the process, she said, was the editing. Her mom and her grandparents read the book and offered up suggestions. "They'll tell me if things make sense," Dunn said. "Sometimes something will make sense in my mind, but when other people read it it doesn't make sense in their minds so I try to clear things up and make it more interesting." Dunn said when she received the first copy of the book in print she was thrilled. "It was very, very exciting," she said. "I had been talking Page 3 T H E LY N N J O U R N A L Pats// CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 about it for so long, to actually have it happen was vey exciting." Although Dunn, who saved up her own money to have the book self-published, could make a little money if it sells (it's listed at $9.95 and she receives a couple of dollars for each one sold), making money wasn't her motivation. "I just wrote it for the experience," she said. Dunn's mom and dad, Nikki and Chuck Dunn, are proud of their daughter's accomplishment. "We have a box full of all these books and little stories she wrote," Nikki Dunn said. "One day she just came out and said 'I finished my book.' She did it all on her own." Neither parent knows where she got her love of reading and writing. "I cant' take credit for that," Chuck Dunn said. "We're just very proud of her perseverance because it wasn't easy for her to complete this.' Dunn said she doesn't know what the future will bring, but she thinks it will involve writing. Her more immediate plans include finishing up at Our Lady and then going to Bishop Fenwick (both her parents went there) for high school. Dunn has two sisters, 15-year-old Sam, who goes to Classical High, and 10-year-old Katie, who attends Shoemaker. When she's not writing, Dunn enjoys acting (she recently played Scrooge in OLA's production A Christmas Carol and she'll be involved in a production at Grace Methodist Church in the near future. She also takes dance (ballet, jazz, tap and contemporary) at LeAnne Leslie's School of Theatrical Dance and she and the rest of her family are also skiers. colleagues did.

Johnna Fisher, who was a Northeastern Conference AllStar for Winthrop High and played AAU basketball with Tori Faieta and Kayla Murkison for the Bay State Blizzard, is hanging up her sneakers. Fisher, a 6-foot-3-inch senior at Central Connecticut State University, said she is retiring from the game she has played competitively since middle school. She is sitting out her fourth and final collegiate season due to knee problems, having undergone five surgeries on her right knee in the past three years. Fisher, who will graduate in May with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Physical Education, played three full seasons for the CCSU Blue Devils. Her big-time basketball experience included games at the University of Texas, the University of Central Florida, the University of Miami, and Boston College. “Texas’s arena was huge,” said Fisher. “All their facilities were amazing, especially their football stadium. After our game at UCF in Orlando, the team went to Disney World.” During her college career, Fisher played against a few local players, including former Winthrop High and Arlington Catholic standout Meredith Soper, who was a starting player for Division 1 Bryant University. Fisher said playing Division 1 college basketball challenged her athletically and academically because of the many hours of practice and conditioning that is expected at that level. “It was different that I expected,” said Fisher. “It was tougher than I thought. With the time commitment, you really don’t have time to do much. We practiced Mondays and Wednesdays at 6 a.m. and afternoon practices starting at 1:45 the other days. On a typical day for a home game, we have a pre-game meal at 3 p.m. and then we head to the gym at 4 p.m. and we have to be on the court at 6 p.m.” At Winthrop High, Fisher played basketball for three different head coaches: Peter Grimes, Dave Nagle, and Ignacio Oyola. Grimes was a terrific mentor early in her career, naming her an assistant manager in the program while she was in elementary and middle school and inviting her to compete on occasion Johnna Fisher with the varsity. “My father [John Fisher] introduced me to Mr. Grimes when I was young and he really took me under his wing,” said Fisher. “He really helped my basketball career a lot.” The best game of her Winthrop career was a dominating performance in her senior year against Gloucester when she scored 30 points, grabbed 20 rebounds, and blocked 10 shots. “We won by one point,” said Fisher with a smile. Fisher said she learned at a young age that she was going to be tall. “The doctor told me right away – 6-3 or 6-4 and I was like, OK. I was in the 99th percentile for height and she told me I was going to be tall like my dad.” John Fisher, Johnna’s father, stands 6 feet, 6 inches, and developed in to an excellent college player following a growth spurt after high school. John was known for his soft shooting touch, passing skills, and rebounding and was regarded as a consummate team player. Her mother, Michelle Favaloro, is 5-feet-8. John would frequently take his daughter to hone her skills at local basketball courts. “My father would take me to shoot around all the time and teach me stuff and I really wouldn’t believe him at that point,” said Johnna. “Then when I got older, I realized all the things that my father taught me about basketball were right and he really was good at basketball.” She made her debut in CYO basketball and continued in the sport at Winthrop Middle School. In high school in addition to basketball, she also played goalkeeper for the soccer team for three seasons under coach Tracey Martucci. “I played goalie behind Rina [Mallios] for two years,” said Fisher. As a Winthrop varsity player, Fisher had the opportunity to play with some of the school’s all-time best athletes, including Courtney Finn (All-American in basketball at Bentley), her sister, Kristen Finn (Bates College), Katerina Mallios (Babson College), and Nicole Giaquinto (All-American in track at UMass/Lowell). Asked if she had ever dunked the basketball during a game or practice, she replied, “I can touch the rim but I’ve never dunked.” Fisher received a four-year college scholarship, selecting CCSU over Division 1 and Division 2 schools that had corresponded with her. She said she is sad that her playing days are over. “It was really hard at first to give up the game,” said Fisher, who is the coordinator of CCSU’s intramural sports leagues. “My parents were really supportive of my decision and thinking about my future. They have been supportive through all of it, everything that I’ve done.” Fisher has spent part of her winter break as a volunteer coach on Ignacio Oyola’s staff at Winthrop. “I try to focus on the post players because that’s where I can relate and give some pointers,” said Fisher. “I’ve worked with Jaida Hightower, Poli Tsiotos, and Nina Bartlette, who’s a Division 1 prospect. This is a really good Winthrop team. But there are still things we can improve on, though. ” Fisher said following her commencement in May, she hopes to pursue a Master’s degree in Athletic Administration at Endicott College in Beverly. “Eventually I’d like to be an athletic director,” said Fisher. “I hope to be able to assist coach Oyola in the program next season. I want to coach and be an athletic administrator at a high school or college.” 5 Thursday, January 29, 2015 Page 5 T H E LY N N J O U R N A L Devin Pierce led Mystic Valley to 9-2 record and a berth in Division 6 championship game Devin Pierce played quarterback throughout his career in the West Lynn Pop Warner Rams organization. Pierce learned the position well and kept improving his skills at each level. He was a team leader whose enthusiasm for playing football and overall competitiveness were admired by his coaches and teammates. This fall as a senior captain for the Mystic Valley Regional Charter School varsity football team, Pierce had a history-making season. Pierce led the school to its first-ever appearance in the Division 6 North title game where its season came to an end against Cathedral High School, 29-16. Pierce had piloted the offense to victories over Boston English, 30-14, and Dorchester, 24-22, in the MIAA playoffs. Mystic Valley head coach Craig Turner said that Pierce was instrumental in the Eagles’ 9-2 record overall. Pierce was selected to the Commonwealth Conference All-Star team. “Devin really matured as a player this year. He worked relentlessly everyday with our quarterbacks coach Tim Morrison and that work showed each week on the game field. He mastered our offense in year two and executed our game plans each week with flawless precision. He played the game with a toughness and chip on his shoulder that made me proud to call him our quarterback.” Devin lives in Lynn with his parents, David and Louise, and his brother, Dennis, who is an eighth grade student at Mystic Valley.

IHOP restaurants in the Philippines will be raising funds for The Kythe Foundation, which provides children with cancer and chronic illness opportunities to learn, play and grow while they are in the hospital. “It’s both incredible and incredibly gratifying that we are now marking a full decade of National Pancake Day, which has become not only a favorite of guests, but of our franchisees and team members,” said Julia Stewart, Interim President, International House of Pancakes, LLC. “Little did we dream, ten years ago, that thanks to the generosity of our guests, we would be able to raise $16 million dollars, one short stack at a time, and make a substantial difference in the lives of the children in our local communities!” “It is also thrilling to see National Pancake Day grow into International Pancake Day, and to see how truly global the spirit of giving back to the community is,” added Stewart. “Now that the tradition has become established in Canada and Mexico, we look forward to welcoming our restaurants in the Philippines to this worldwide effort, and to continuing this international growth for many decades to come.” In the weeks leading up to National Pancake Day, participating IHOP restaurants will also sell “Miracle Balloons” for $1, $5 to benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The balloons will be available from Feb. 1 through National Pancake Day, and all proceeds will go to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Guests who purchase a $5 Miracle Balloon will receive a $5 discount coupon that can be used during their next dining visit. Similar icons are for sale in those restaurants supporting the Shriners Hospitals for Children and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as well.

I know she’s excelling at BC. They’re undefeated and No. 1 in the country.” Eruzione said that he has Cyan Magenta Yellow Black been following Burt’s progress through the U.S. Olympic hockey development program. He was well aware of her superb goaltending performance in the Under 18-World Championships this month in Buffalo where she helped the U.S. team win a gold medal. “She played great and the team won the gold medal,” said Eruzione. “She’s doing all the things training and development wise she has to do to be in the Olympics.” A graduate of BU where he played hockey for former coach Jack Parker, Eruzione said, “I’m a BU guy but next for her [Burt] would be a national championship at Boston College and then a gold medal in the next Winter Games [in South Korea in 2018].” Eruzione was asked whether he supports Boston’s bid to be the host city for the 2024 Summer Olympics. “Absolutely. I think it would be a great feather in the cap to the City of Boston to have something like that. We’ve host- ed a lot of world class events and this would be the frosting of the cake.” ANNUAL HOOD AND LINCOLNTHOMSON SCHOOLS CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS ART CONTEST Sponsored by Santa Famiglia Mixed Lodge #2824 Order Sons of Italy Seth L., Fourth Grade, Third Place, Lincoln-Thomson School.
