Join us on 7/29/2025 as we have a conversation with JoJo & Jaren Goodine. This Father & Son duo knows how to run the football. It must be in the blood.JoJo Goodine- His statistics as a freshman were those of a better-than-average veteran — a bushel of rushing yards and five trips to the end zone, including two in a victory over Thanksgiving Day rival Durfee. His sophomore season was even more impressive as he tied for the team lead in touchdowns (with Sharik Mendes) with nine and led the Whalers in rushing, including a 215-yard effort (and a touchdown) in a 29-24 loss to powerful Xaverian. But, for the 5-foot-9 169-pounder, the best was yet to come. As a junior in 1993, he helped lead the Whalers to the first of back-to-back Div. 1 Super Bowl titles by rushing for for well over 1,000 yards and a school-record 27 regular-season touchdowns. Seven times he scored multiple touchdowns, including a school single-season record six in a 55-22 rout of Xavier High of Connecticut. A year late JoJo capped his high school career with a carbon-copy effort. He tied his regular-season record for touchdowns with 27 and, for the second straight postseason game, scored a touchdown that helped the Whalers win a Super Bowl. He ended his career by finding the end zone in 18 of his last 20 regular-season games, scoring a school-record 68 regular-season touchdowns and becoming the school’s all-time rushing leader. When opponents had the ball, JoJo remained on the field as a cornerback in the Whalers’ secondary and was rewarded for his outstanding play by being named winner of the Otto Graham Achievement Award as the area’s outstanding senior football player. JoJo accepted a football scholarship from the University of New Hampshire, but later transferred to UMass Dartmouth.(SouthcoastToday.com)Jaren Goodine- Jaren Goodine, New Bedford, JuniorGoodine had a knack for making big plays on offense for New Bedford and led the Whalers with nine touchdowns. The Southeast Conference All-Star carried the ball 106 times for 786 yards and scored six rushing TDs. He also split out at wide receiver and had 23 catches for 289 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Goodine returned a kickoff for another score. “He was smooth and explosive,” said New Bedford head coach Mark DeBrito. “He could cut and take off. He was a home run hitter.”

Michael K. Semiao’s Courts of Reflection is a deeply moving exploration of the interplay between external success and internal struggle. In this candid memoir, Semiao invites readers into the complex duality of his life as a high school basketball star—a young athlete celebrated for his discipline and determination, yet quietly burdened by insecurities, mistrust, and the yearning for genuine connection.What sets this memoir apart is its willingness to delve beyond the surface of athletic triumphs. Semiao masterfully intertwines the adrenaline-fueled highs of competitive sports with the quieter, more introspective moments of self-doubt and emotional growth. His vivid storytelling brings the reader courtside for thrilling games while simultaneously pulling back the curtain on the personal battles that often went unnoticed.The memoir resonates deeply as it tackles universal themes: the pressure to perform, the struggle to belong, and the courage it takes to confront one’s flaws. Particularly poignant are Semiao’s reflections on the weight of racial stereotypes he encounters and the isolation that comes with being seen as a symbol rather than an individual. These moments of vulnerability transform Courts of Reflection from a sports memoir into a powerful narrative of identity and resilience.Semiao’s voice is both authentic and inspiring, offering hard-won wisdom without veering into sentimentality. His journey from self-protective detachment to emotional connection is as relatable as it is inspiring, making this book a must-read not just for athletes but for anyone who has ever struggled with self-acceptance and the courage to grow.In Courts of Reflection, Semiao achieves what many memoirists aspire to: a balance of personal vulnerability and universal truth. This is more than a story about basketball—it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of self-discovery.Highly recommended for readers seeking an honest, heartfelt memoir that transcends the court and speaks to the heart.
