Sports Desk With Dom Nicastro Join host Dom Nicastro for the latest in local sports out of the North Shore and Merrimack Valley The "Nick" in that equation retired in August 2023.

Our history:

From August 2013 to August 2023, "Nic & Nick" -- owned by Kelley Media -- ran out of 1049 FM most of those years. It went podcast on MSONewsports.com in June 2022 after the radio station was sold. We're all about sports -- and all about sports on the North Shore and Merrimack Valley of Mass. and Southern NH. Sure, we'll dabble into a few other topics here and there during our weekly

podcast, but our mission is to bring you the voices from those who make the North Shore, Merrimack Valley and Southern NH sports scenes special: athletes, coaches, experts, observers, fans, administrators and whoever's got something to say. Got a suggestion for us? Send us your thoughts right on our page. OUR HOST

This week, we've got our Cape Ann Savings Bank Student-Athlete of the Week, Milo Zeltzer of Manchester Essex boys basketball. A hard-nosed, do-everything kinda player for one of the state's best Division 4 teams.

And Beverly boys basketball coach Matt Karakoudas, building one of the best programs on the North Shore this past decade.

We also pay tribute to the great Dick Jauron, Swampscott legend and NFL player and coach who we lost.
