PVMHS senior Athan Goulos has been working on becoming a top-notch golfer since his grandfather put a club in his hand when he was a little boy in his family's Peabody backyard.
Peabody senior Athan Goulos is an interesting athlete: in the fall, as a co-captain on the golf team, he tries to drive a little white ball as far as he can, then putt it a few inches; in the winter, he throws a 12-pound shot put as far as he possibly can for the Tanners' indoor track team. The 18-year-old lives on Lowell Street with his parents; his older brother Theo attends Bridgewater State University and older sister Andrea attends Wheelock College in Boston. Both Andrea and Theo graduated from PVMHS. Goulos was seven or eight years old when his grandfather John Parianos first exposed him to the game of golf in the family backyard in Peabody. “I’m a member at the Ferncroft Country Club in Middleton, and I really enjoy playing there …

For the first time in years, Peabody's Jason Hiou is not getting ready to play football this fall, but he has plenty to do to prepare for his freshman year in college, and that includes running track for the Minutemen.
This August is very unique for Peabody’s Jason Hiou: for the first time since he was a little boy, he isn't getting ready for football season. The 18-year-old has hung up his football cleats and his basketball sneakers and will be concentrating on running track when he heads to UMass-Amherst on Aug. 30 to start up his freshman year in the Pioneer Valley. “It’s strange, absolutely, not getting ready for football -- quite different for me this summer,” Hiou said. “I have so many great memories of playing football in Peabody, it’s kind of strange not getting ready to play football in the summer.” Hiou lives over near the Northshore Mall with his parents and his big brother Nick. The older Hiou is another solid Peabody athlete. Nick is getting…

There are a few kids every year that come out for the Peabody High track team and have no idea who their coach is and the things he accomplished when he laced up his running shoes for the Tanners. “Yeah, there are kids that come out for the track team that have no idea who I am or that I even ran for Peabody,” Fernando Braz said. “That’s fine, it’s not about me anymore it’s about these kids and what they can do during their time at Peabody High.” Braz was one of the best runners to come out of Peabody, graduating in 1980, before a solid career at Boston College, running for the Eagles. Braz graduated from BC in 1985 with a degree in special education. He now coaches indoor and outdoor track for the Tanners, and is the in-school suspension …
