RedAuerbachBillRussellVision: Game 1 Observation #Banner18
The City is buzzing (617) 🍀 Celtics Nation worldwide woke up feeling optimistic after watching yesterday's 2023/24 season opener at the Legendary Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks. We all witnessed a nail-biter, a close game that came down to the wire in the fourth quarter. The poise of Jrue Holiday, the veteran wit, and Jaylen Brown, despite an off shooting night, remaining relentless on defense. St. Louis' finest, JT, got off to a monster start with 34 Pts, 11 Rbs, and 4 asst.
But what truly lit up the MSG floor was the beacon of light, the difference-maker who scored 12 of his 30 points, had four blocks, and grabbed eight rebounds. With some dagger buckets late in the game, it's none other than #MyMainMan, hailing from the port city of Liepaja on the West Coast of Latvia, @Kporzee, aka Kristaps Porzingis.
Our optimism is running high as we look forward to the next game, the Home Opener on Friday, October 27th, 2023, against Slick Riley's Jimmy Buckets and Plotting Spolestra's #MiamiHeat. Let's keep the energy alive as we cheer on our Celtics! 🏀🍀 #CelticsDynasty #AuerbachRussellLegacy #AGE
BPSXC Sara Blanco & Neve Flynn go 1-3 in the Sophomore Girls race Large School 2023 Twilight Invite
Absolutely bursting with pride and confidence! It’s impossible to overstate just how immensely proud I am of the @bpsxc Girls team. Here, I walk the tightrope between journalism and coaching. @neveflynn exemplified unwavering determination and resilience, reminding us all why we proudly claim the title of #BostonStrong. After a car accident that sidelined her for her entire freshman indoor and outdoor seasons, seeing her gradually regain her form is nothing short of heartwarming. Over the past few months, she went through the process of relearning to walk, engaged in intensive physical therapy, and swam her way back to strength. And this past Saturday, she offered us all a poignant reminder that nothing is a mere coincidence – securing a remarkable 3rd place finish in the Large school Sophomore race with a time of 21:05.
Her teammate, the remarkable Freshman Sara Blanco, was an absolute sensation, effortlessly clinching victory with a stunning time of 19:31.3. I’m firmly in the corner of these incredible girls as we march toward destiny. #RespectThe617 #OperationWrentham see you in the Line November 11th, 2023.
"Chasing Dreams One Mile at a Time: My Journey to the 2023 B.A.A. Half Marathon 🏃♂️💪"
Dear Universe, The running community has been my loyal companion since my adolescent and teenage years, from XC to indoor and outdoor track and field. Today, I proudly wear the hat of Head Coach for the BPS XC team. I've even had the privilege of announcing indoors at the world-famous Reggie Lewis Center for the MSTCA and covering the New Balance Nationals scholastic track championships. The support, kind words, and genuine love I've received along this journey are truly priceless. However, let's get real here. Over the years, I've been on a rollercoaster when it comes to getting into shape, often derailed by the unpredictability of life. But here's the plot twist I'm about to share with you: I'm gearing up to conquer my first goal, which is to run over 10 miles, and my second goal is to complete the B.A.A. Half marathon on November 13th, 2023. You see, I'm no different from you, regardless of age or background. I may be close to the sport, but I haven't always taken my health seriously. Completing the B.A.A. half marathon is not just about crossing a finish line; it's a promise to myself for better health. Because the healthier I am, the better I can be as a husband, father, son, cousin, friend, Coach, and blogger. So, mark your calendars because I've got a date with destiny, and I'm determined to show that "Dreams Are Tangible Goals." 🏃♂️💪 Let's lace up and make this journey one for the books! With love and determination, Hatim Jean-Louis 🌟 #BAAHalfMarathon #DreamsAreTangibleGoals #healthierme
Foss Running Camp Tribute (Kevin Maloney)
Dear Kevin Maloney,
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wisdom and advice you've shared that has transformed my life. Your words have not only inspired me but also others around me. Over the past nine years, Foss Running Camp has brought me the magic of true beauty, and I'm incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with exceptional mentors like George Rose, Michael Clark, Artie Demers, and Rick Kates.
Witnessing the excellence of individuals like Aaron Ladd, James Fletcher, Rebecca Trachsel, Dennis Sheppard, Perry Pappas, and Erin Dromgoole has been invaluable. Moreover, the impact Foss Running Camp has had on my student athletes at 242 Willey Pond Road, Strafford NH, has left an indelible mark on the city of Boston. I acknowledge that I'm not perfect, and if my actions have offended anyone, I extend my sincere apologies. You understand my passion lies with the kids and the sport that shaped me into the person I am today.
I deeply appreciate your belief in me and the motivation you've provided. Your words in 2017 about my potential to rejuvenate the city carry immense weight, and I'm committed to that endeavor. With your support and that of the running community, I am resolute in making Boston, Massachusetts, the global epicenter of running.
Thank you once again for everything.
Dreams are Tangible Goals

H: The Strength is in the Pack Trailer
In 2015, Coach Hatim Jean-Louis, also known as Coach H, undertook the remarkable task of revitalizing a struggling citywide cross country running program in Boston, MA. This cooperative team was designed to bring together students from various public high schools across the city. However, the journey was far from easy. In the initial years, faced with a pool of 50,000 potential students, Coach H grappled to assemble a complete team of seven boys. Even those who participated often found themselves at the back of the pack during races. Through nine years of unwavering dedication and hard work, the Boston Public Schools Citywide XC program has experienced tremendous growth and transformation. Coach H's efforts have borne fruit, with the team making significant strides. Notably, Coach H is currently working on building a complete team of seven girls, a remarkable achievement in itself. Furthermore, the boys' team is now within reach of a historic milestone - qualifying for the MA State Championships for the very first time.
Reflecting on the journey, let's take a look at the team's progress over the years:
- Fall 2015: Boys team average was 19:57, placing 24th out of 25 teams in Division 1.
- Fall 2016: Boys team average improved to 19:44, finishing 24th out of 24 teams in Division 1.
- Fall 2017: Boys team continued to improve with an average of 18:07, achieving 19th place out of 26 teams in Division 3.
- Fall 2018: Boys team's average further dropped to 17:46, securing 11th place out of 29 teams in Division 3.
- Fall 2019: Boys team continued their progress with an average of 17:17, resulting in an 8th place finish out of 27 teams in Division 3.
- Fall 2020: The pandemic took a toll on BPS sports, necessitating a restart due to new alignments.
- Fall 2021: Boys team's average was 19:04, attaining a 12th place finish out of 20 teams.
- Fall 2022: A significant milestone was reached as the boys' team achieved an impressive average of 17:17, securing 4th place out of 24 teams in Division 1C. This marked the first time BPS was ranked among the top 20 teams in Massachusetts and a top 10 team in Division 2.
Coach H's dedication and perseverance have not only transformed the Citywide XC program but also the lives of countless students. The progress made over the years is a testament to the power of passion, hard work, and the indomitable spirit of athletes and their coach.H: The Strength is in the Pack chronicles the team's historic season.

"Hip-Hop Journeys: Where Dreams Became Tangible Goals" Rest In Peace Santos Night Club aka Santos Party House
Rest In Peace Santos Night Club aka Santos Party House
In this edition of Hip-Hop Journeys, as we celebrate Hip-Hop's legacy, I can't express enough gratitude for how it has become the soundtrack of my life, paving the way for my global adventures and preparing me for the future. The stage was set in New York City, with an Indian summer vibe, the cool breeze sweeping through the city, and temperatures in the pleasant 80s, creating the perfect atmosphere.
On September 1st, 2010, the Rock The Bells Tour made its stop at Governors Island in NYC, promising potential special guests and surprises. A big shoutout to Dan Green from Clockwork Music Inc., a globally diverse company specializing in talent booking, concert marketing, production, online marketing, and project consultation, for promoting and marketing the event. The concert would feature Hip-Hop legends AZ and Cormega, along with opening acts brothers Willie The Kid & LA The Darkman. For me, this marked a significant milestone as I would be hosting my first major show in NYC while handling the promotion and marketing.
The primary goal was to ensure a great turnout, and the pre-ticket sales were already showing promising signs.
As they say, "If you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere," and that morning, I experienced the truth behind this cliché. Savoring my tea, croissant, and egg cheese sandwich with turkey bacon from the Bodega, I took the 4 train from 183rd and Jerome to Wall Street Station, and from there, I walked to the pier for Governors Island. As a native Bostonian, I embraced the city's atmosphere whenever I traveled on public transportation, appreciating the sights and being mindful of my surroundings. Governor's Island reminded me of Thompson's Island back home in Boston. To reach Governors Island, I had to take the NYC ferry, and upon arrival, the music filled the air, with two stages set up - the Main Stage for the headline act and smaller stages for upcoming artists.
Positioning myself strategically between the two stages, I seized the opportunity to personally hand out flyers for the show to people leaving the venue or moving between stages. Although I hadn't secured tickets to attend the show, a stroke of fate led me to encounter a distressed young lady who worked for Rock The Bells. Her date had stood her up, leaving her with all-access guest passes, which she generously offered to me. Gratefully, I found myself backstage with the crème de la crème of the Hip-Hop industry, no longer needing to distribute flyers. I was now adding the headline acts to the guest list for the evening event. My dreams had become tangible goals as I witnessed my first major show, with an iconic and legendary guest list. From Ras Kass West Coast legend & Lyrcists, to Consequence fresh off A Tribe Called Quest rocking, RIP Phife Dawg was still alive, Dres from Blacksheep, my big Bro Vic Black Gangstarr, and the Legend DJ Tony Toca Touch. There were so many more these were the pics I could salvage.
Now its showtime, I hopped into a cab and headed to Club Santos, also known as Santos Party House, located at 96 Lafayette Street in the Tribeca neighborhood. There, I reunited with my brother DGomez, and our friend joey had made the trip from Boston to film the night's unforgettable moments. It truly was a night to remember - my first time seeing AZ live, alongside Nature, Craig G, and the electrifying mic exchange that went down in Hip-Hop history at the 1:10 mark. It all flowed seamlessly, akin to a baton pass, with the crowd united in their clear requests. You can see my big bro from Queensbridge, The Testament himself Cormega, and The Revelations bringing down the house.
Here’s another angle from the night ! Salute to Grandgood
