NEW FOOTBALL COACH AT HOPKINTON
Posted by Danny Ventura at 12:16 pm

    Hopkinton’s new football coach is no stranger to Tri-Valley League circles.

Jim Girard has been hired to coach the Hillies in 2010, replacing Steve Simoes, who stepped down following last season. Girard spent the past two seasons at Dover-Sherborn, posting an 11-11 mark, no small feat given the school’s recent football fortunes.

“He was outstanding in the interview process, he was the top guy after each round of the interviews,” said Hopkinton athletic director Eric Karjel. “He did a great job turning things around at Dover-Sherborn, clearing demonstrating a good knowledge of the game. He’s always been someone who puts the kids first.”

Danny Ventura has been the Herald's authority on high school sports for 15 years. In addition to his Sweet 16 football rankings, No Holds Barred wrestling column and unrivaled coverage of high school sports in Eastern Mass., Ventura has covered the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics and college sports for the Herald.

You might not recognize him without the famous red winter coat, but Jim Clark joined the Herald in 1998 and has been the high school sports editor and author of "In the Slot" since 2000. He grew up following the Big Bad Bruins of the late 1970s and is a graduate of Oakmont Regional (Ashburnham) and UMass. It's probably not a coincidence that both schools waited until three years after his departure to start up their hockey programs.
