AN AWESOME AUTUMN: Find all of our Fall 2021 All-Scholastics here
In 2020, the MIAA opted not to host its statewide fall postseason tournament.
In 2021 with the return of the playoffs, the South Shore made up for lost time. Eight area teams walked away with state titles and a bunch of other teams went on postseason runs and had standout seasons.
On the gridiron, half of the state champions hailed from the area. Scituate won Division 4, Rockland took Div. 6, Cohasset nabbed Div. 7 and Randolph rumbled to a Div. 8 crown.
