WORCESTER ― The School Committee voted May 1 to name Deputy Superintendent Brian Allen the next superintendent, opting to forgo a more extensive search process.

Dick Allen was elected Sunday night into the Hall of Fame by the Classic Baseball Era Committee, alongside longtime friend Dave Parker.

Former Lipscomb Academy freshman QB Ty Snell, a rising class of 2029 star with a Tennessee football offer, is transferring to Allen (Texas), he announced.
