DiBiaso Honored

Boston.com has a story noting that record-setting Everett, Mass., quarterback Jonathan DiBiaso and his father/coach John are being honored by the Jack Grinold Eastern Massachusetts Chapter of the National Football Foundation. Jonathan DiBiaso, who will prep next fall at Exeter but has committed to Dartmouth, is being honored as one of 34 scholar-athletes by the chapter. His father, who has a 198-21 career record at Everett and led his team to a 13-0 record last fall, will receive the Ed Schluntz Contributions to Amateur Football Award.

One of the 34 high school seniors being honored as football scholar-athletes is headed to Dartmouth next fall but St. Sebastian's running back Jack Connolly will be playing lacrosse for the Big Green. While Harvard, Yale and Columbia are each landing one of the honorees, no fewer than six are heading to Brown. The story does not mention which are intending to play football.
Honored by the Joe Yukica New Hampshire Chapter of the National Football Foundation recently was Daniel Gorman, a wide receiver who will play football at Dartmouth next fall. Also a kicker/punter, Gorman pitched and batted the Hanover High baseball team to a solid win in a game on Dartmouth's Red Rolfe Field yesterday, taking a no-hitter into the fifth inning, crushing a trio of two-run doubles and leading the Marauders to a 9-0 win.
The Sports Network has a projection of the top linebackers in the nation next year and as part of the story picks the top LB in each conference. The choice in the Ivy League: Princeton's Andrew Starks, a second-round All-Ivy pick last fall. Dartmouth's Bronson Green was an honorable mention selection.
