Who are the best quarterbacks in Rhode Island high school football? Here are 10 to watch
It’s not hard to see that the quarterback position has evolved in Rhode Island. Years ago, the state had two types of quarterbacks in high school football. With the majority of the teams using some sort of option-based, misdirection offense, most QBs were runners. There were always a handful of throwers, but ones who could actually stand in the pocket and make throws were unicorns. ...

A Providence journalist’s investigation into the doctor known as the “pill mill killer”
Phil Eil: Well, what initially caught my attention was the simple wildness of the two facts that I first had. One, that this guy Paul Volkman had gone to medical school with my dad and they had both graduated with MD PhDs from the University of Chicago in 1974 and then they had gone in such wildly different directions. My dad is still a practicing physician here in Rhode Island and in Fall River, and Paul Volkman is now in federal prison for serving a life sentence for prescription drug dealing. So the sheer mystery of that, along with the personal connection, was what caught my interest. But as I got further into the story and learned about the community where these crimes took place in Southern Ohio, which has been hit so hard by prescription drugs and later other kinds of opiates. And when I learned about the lives of the folks who went to Paul Volkman and who died shortly thereafter from apparent overdoses, the story just kept getting more and more urgent as I went.
